"I'm not disputing any of that. I think that Sgt.

I think that Sgt. Pepper's is as overblown and self-indulgent of an album as you're likely to find anywhere(and this is coming from someone who is a fan of Yes' "Tales From Topographic Oceans") and I think it gets far, far too much credit for its supposed "revolutionizing" of rock and roll. My problem with you and the way you approach these albums is your habit of infantilizing not only the music but the people who listen to it, as though the Beatles and anyone who listens to them are brainless fools who simply don't know any better. Well, sir, I could enter a conversation with you on the relative merits of Krzystof Penderecki and Steve Reich, tell you how late '70s New York industrial was some of the most important music to be made in the history of rock and roll, explain why the Spinners were the height of Philadelphia Soul, draw you a compare-and-contrast Venn diagram of Parliament/Funkadelic and Wu-Tang Clan, tell you why doom is the best subgenre of heavy metal, detail the stylistic evolution of Chris Brown, and STILL give you many good reasons why Abbey Road is in my top 50 favorite albums of all time. So you can criticize the Beatles all you want and I won't think the less of you, but I'd appreciate it if you'd stop treating me and the people who listen to them as inexperienced waifs in need of a good schooling.

"The original indie act, they probably opened more minds per record sold than any band in history. Their droning, off-beat sound has many imitators, but few peers. I think this, their first statement, was their best."  Reply

This was my very first encounter with psychedelic music at age 13. Today, it stands as my favorite psychedelic blues record. Morrison's bariton is frightenly powerful and demands respect and surrendering. The instrumentation is vast, expansive - entirely novel to the music scene in '67. Manzarek did all the effort with his distict organ sound and vision. The fact that this is a debut is even more awe inspiring. The progression that this album takes is radical, and a dark and scary ending underpins this as one of the truest and biggest masterpieces."  [+]  Reply

Though if you asked me today what my favourite bands from the 60s are, I would still give the same answers (Procol Harum or The Velvet Underground), the Beatles would also get a mention. This record in particular is one that has grown on me, the psychedelic tunes and clearly drug inspired lyrics are an awful lot of fun. The opener is also the title track, an entertaining little opener that, while not as nearly good as Srg. Pepper, is really great in itself (much like the album, come to think of it). “The Fool on the Hill” isn’t a personal favourite, but it is undeniably inspired. Next we have the low point, “Flying”. Not noteworthy. We really get into the good stuff with “Blue Jay Way”, a great track that is especially far out. After this we have a personal favourite “Your Mother Should Know” followed by the albums best track “I Am The Walrus”, a classic in every sense of the word. Side 2 opens with a bit of a dud, “Hello Goodbye” is again, not noteworthy. The next two tracks, however, are certainly noteworthy, the stunning “Strawberry Fields Forever” and the fantastic “Penny Lane” are both nearly unmatched. Next we have side 2’s most underrated track “Baby You’re a Rich Man Now” followed by the famous (and very good) “All You Need is Love”. Overall, while I feel this album is a slight step down from Sergent Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, it is still well worth your time, it’s just missing one euphorically good track."  [+]  Reply

"If it was just more consistent it would have been perfect. For me this album contains one of the best songs I've heard and song over and over again. And the memory of when I heard it for the first 10 times, it was just amazing, weird in a great way. Syd Barrett was one of the best."  Reply
