Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band was released. What do you all think? Is this still the greatest album of all time? If so, is it the greatest because of its music or because of how revolutionary it was? Should Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields have been included in the released album since they were recorded as part of the sessions? Why weren't they? Was this the high point of the Beatles' career? Was this the high point in pop culture? Narayan

Probably. No other album had as much infuence on popular music. It was probably their best work and the height of their carrers. What an original work as well! It's a perfect album to daydream to.

Before Sgt Peppers, most rock records were little more than concerts done in a studio. Sgt Peppers expanded the parameters to include sampling, 8 track recording and the interpolation of complex melodies. In short, Sgt Peppers changed rock and roll from bubble gum music to an art form. ----------------------- Visit my weblog!

I gave the album as a present to my first serious girlfriend. I almost wish that I didn't - I can't listen to it without thinking of her and those wonderful, marvelous, happy go lucky, totally innocent days of my youth. Jeff

Can't quite put my finger on it - but I knew when I heard it. Jeff

Peppers, but I agree with your point. IR

But does anyone know what language they are speaking in this vid? I know the song, and been awhile since I've heard this version. Me thinks sometimes we forgot some of our roots. Lets learn from each other. Nit Picker's cool. Course ya don't know bout the "Jack in the Green"?

One of my favorites is still Meet the Beatles. Meet The Beatles January 20, 1964 Capitol Records Marked as "The first album by England's phenomenal pop combo", Meet The Beatles was the first Beatles album released in America by Capitol, even though the band had already released two albums in their native Britain. Combining songs from those two albums, including a slightly different track list of their second UK album With The Beatles, Meet The Beatles was released just barely two weeks before their historic first performance on the Ed Sullivan Show. Two songs are presented in "rechanneled" stereo, as Capitol had only mono mixes from EMI. The cover photo is the same as the UK With The Beatles, but has a blue tint to it. Click on the song titles for detailed information including song backrounds. recording dates, chart positions, special notes, and much more. Side A (LP) 1. I Want To Hold Your Hand Lennon/McCartney 2. I Saw Her Standing There Lennon/McCartney 3. This Boy Lennon/McCartney 4. It Won't Be Long Lennon/McCartney 5. All I've Got To Do Lennon/McCartney 6. All My Loving Lennon/McCartney Side B (LP) 1. Don't Bother Me Harrison 2. Little Child Lennon/McCartney 3. Till There Was You Wilson 4. Hold Me Tight Lennon/McCartney 5. I Wanna Be Your Man Lennon/McCartney 6. Not A Second Time Wilson (Quoted from aboutthebeatles.com/disco...tles.html) Narayan

Peppers, but I agree with your point. Yeah, those are both terrific albums and you're right, the Beatles were certainly thinking like serious songwriters rather than bubble gum pop stars on those records. But I think Sgt Pepper exerted a special influence, not on the way the Beatles thought about the possibilities of rock and roll, but on the way other people thought about them. Without Sgt Pepper's, I wonder if we ever would have heard the likes of Radiohead, Pink Floyd and David Bowie, or if everyone would still be trying to write and perform three minute radio singles in the traditional guitar, bass and drums format. ----------------------- Visit my weblog!

Kid A is probably my very favorite, but I think that Amnesiac, OK Computer along with Kid A kind of form the holy triumvirate of Radiohead albums. Though, Hail to the Thief and The Bends are both pretty decent, too. ----------------------- Visit my weblog!

They sound pretty unique, so I don't know if comparisons ar going to be very helpful. About the best description I can think of is that they kind of sound like Roy Orbison singing Dark Side of the Moon. But even that's a pretty crummy comparison. You just have to listen to it to see what I'm talking about. ----------------------- Visit my weblog!
