PBS has a superb documentary about the musical and mixing genius of the album that Rolling Stone rates the top album of all-time.
I caught most of it but it airs again June 9th at 8:00pm on KCTS9. If you like music, don't miss it:

I recorded it a few days ago, and being a Beatles fan, I loved it!

Sgt. Peppers is a great album, original and creative.
I might argue that London Calling is the more culturally impactful album. That was the sound that ended the seventies, and influenced the most alternate, punk and rock bands.

Sorry, I was going to try to shut down this thread as political. 
Never mind the Bollocks was more culturally significant IMO, continuing to this very day. 
SPLHB was more significant artistically.

SP was indeed a great and very influential album, but the documentary was so so at best. The guy made some dubious assertions, e.g., erroneously suggesting that SP album introduced harmonic modulation to popular music. Just not true. Harmonic modulation was very commonly used in many, probably most, of the great American songbook standards written by the Gershwins, Porter, Arlen, Van Heusen, Mercer, etc., etc., the foundation of American popular music for decades. SP album didn't come close to approaching the sophistication of Jimmy Van Heusen's harmonic modulations. See also harmonic modulation in the compositions of Duke Ellington and Brian Wilson prior to SP album.
The guy also played his demonstrations is keys different than those on the album.
