"I'm not disputing any of that. 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 "revolutio..."

"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

"A drunk poet, a classically-trained pianist, a flamenco guitarist, a jazz drummer and no bassist at all: the Doors were just destined to be unique. All four members of the band took the different traditions of their diverse musical backgrounds and applied them within a rock context, making possib..." [+] Reply

"This album just supports my reasons why 1967 is the single greatest year of music; The Doors, Sargent Pepper, The Who Sell Out, Strange Days, The Velvet Underground, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Pink Floyd, Aretha Franklin, Jefferson Airplane, and so many more." Reply

"This is easily the Beatles' most overlooked release. Although glued together from some singles, and the film's soundtrack, Magical Mystery tour holds together. Although psychedelic like Sgt. Pepper's, Mystery Tour relies less on narrative and more on atmosphere. The heavy instrumentation of Straw..." [+] Reply

"Ludicrous, fantastic and strange. A singular album. Material that was both poppy and deeply out there. An incredibly influential psychedelic album, full of truly surprising and inventive music. These surrealistic textures recommended to anyone with an open mind. Pink Floyd never made an album whi..." [+] Reply

"I used to hear this the way other commenters say: great, but a little uneven and not as good as Electric Ladyland. But it has soaked in on me over the years. Now, there's not a single microsecond of this album that I don't absolutely love, and I now think it's the Hendrix album where the voodoo r..." [+] Reply

"The best, most consistent Doors album. I can't understand exactly why they left some of these off their debut, but it worked out for the better of the atmospheres on both sides of the coin." Reply
