I read earlier today that if something is said enough times it can become as truth in someones memory. So it appears ever since a certain hairy shaped informant in the shadows told a journalist down Merseyside "This started it" , the myth behind this piece has been building and building. It's got to the point kids start saying it to anyone who would listen the day they download it. Don't argue 40footwolf. I do not know of these monks and frank zoopa you speak of. And The Beatles influenced by them? The Bealtes... influenced by someone... seriously?

I mean, there was that Frank Zappa album that they took the structure from, and all that psychedelic music from San Francisco that they took inspiration from, and those experimental albums from the Monks and the Velvet Underground. But yeah, no, Sgt. Peppers basically invented music, you're right.

Not empty statement but the truth it is the most ground braking LP ever made it's not the best in my opinion but at the time there was nothing like it and it laid the ground work for all experimental albums. When Brian Wilson heard it ( he was still working on smile) he cried.

@Mr. Shankly: I didn't even notice that A Day in the Life was here until I read the comments, and I had already placed this album in my top 10. I like With a Little Help From My Friends, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, When I'm Sixty-Four, the title track... but to be honest, A Day in the Life never called my attention. I will listen to it again.

I like Sgt Pepper but I have to wonder, if A Day in the Life wasn't on it, would it be revered as highly? There are a handful of great songs that precede it, but A Day in the Life is such an amazing masterwork of a song, it almost carries the album.

The best Beatles' album. Great from the beginning to the end. Nearly the best album ever

I thought we were rating great albums here! Really great albums should never contain such pitifully dire tracks as "When I'm Sixty Four" or "Getting Better"! No matter how great you think the rest of the album is, at least 2 of 12 tracks are absolute shite!

Used to really be into this album, but after experiencing more music, I never find myself revisiting this one. It's still a phenomenal album!

Has some great songs, and is a great album, but to me it's always been overrated.
