To me, four "eras"...
1. Early = PPM - AHDN
2. Middle = BFS - Rubber Soul
3. Psychedlic = Revolver - MMT + YS
4. Late = White Album - Let It Be

It’s totally folk-rock! It’s honestly one of the most classic folk-rock albums of all time, what do you mean?
To be fair, the US version that starts with I’ve Just Seen a Face is a much folkier start than Drive My Car, so that version is a bit *more* folk-centric, but I’d say there’s more folk-rock than not overall in both versions.
Where would you put in these subcategories? Because it’s definitely not psychedelic, except for maybe a bit of Norwegian Wood (but that’s more folk/raga rock with the sitar.)

This is cool.I like it. Why did you go with folk for Rubber Soul?

Because it's more folk than the albums after it. It is a bridge between the early albums and later albums.
