Well, you have to start with the Beatles. There is a reason why they are so huge. The only sticking point is how many albums get in. These two have to as they mark the change from the beat combo to the avant garde. The two sides of the group mixed here for the only part of their lifespan, thus creating their most interesting work and some classic pop tunes. It also marked the onset of the polarization of Lennon and McCartney (Elaenor Rigby vs. Tomorrow Never Knows, etc) and the beginnings of George as confident and accomplished songwriter. And even Ringo's finest hour! Much has been written about Sgt. Pepper and the White album but they are merely the results of the leaps made here.
