Some will argue The Beach Boys should be higher on the list, but I have a much weaker connection to it than the albums that fall before it on the list. Even The Kinks' and the Stones' somewhat patchy albums and roughly-recorded albums. The 2007 CD re-release of The Remains with 10 bonus tracks is worth exploring - to me those 10 additional tracks are as good as the primary album.
1. Simon & Garfunkel - Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme
2. The Byrds - Fifth Dimension
3. Simon & Garfunkel - Sounds of Silence
4. The Beatles - Revolver
5. The Rolling Stones - Aftermath
6. The Kinks - Face to Face
7. The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
8. The Remains - The Remains
9. Love - Love
10. Monks - Black Monk Time

Very nice job including Love and The Monks. Those are like the litmus test, I guess. I'll have to educate myself more on The Remains. I know you said you're not the biggest Dylan fan but I think Blonde on Blonde... Well, it's stupid to say it should be on YOUR list. Would very easily make mine, however. Ascension is my personal favorite record from this year.
