Sgt. Pepper OR Days Of Future Passed?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I'm not denying what influence and innovations The Beatles wrought upon the music world (at least from Revolver, if not Rubber Soul and on - their Can't Buy Me Love era does jack-sh*t for me) - but starting with the arrival of Hayward and Lodge, the Moodies just took the 'everyday' music form, several notches beyond the norm. Even surpassing Lennon and his cronies (IMHO, of course).
I may not listen to them on a regular basis these days, but I couldn't imagine my life without the Big 7 in my collection. 
I'm content with Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's, Magical Tour and Abbey Road. That's all I need from the Fab Four.

	I know this might sound silly but I think you have to get into what month in the year each one of these were released. It just makes it more exciting.

	Tough call, but I'm giving it to Days of Future Past by a hair. I really love that album, a little more than Sgt. Pepper's.
