SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND

I've always consider The Beatles as an important link in the long Progressive Rock Chain and its develop through time. This is one of the top albums in the History of Music and I knew it since the first time I listened to it when I found it in my dad's CD drawer when I was 9 years old. Considering the psychedelic elements that the Liverpool quartet tried and achieved and the influence that this album had in popular music on that time, they started to forge along with some other bands the bases for our beloved genre. The album is not to intricate, it contains mainly poppy and catchy songs (all of them, but "She's Leaving Home" & "Within You, Without You", this last one written by George Harrison, that have a sadder mood)with an excellent orchestration, really well composed songs, the happy style that marked the music of The Beatles is present on each single track.

I also have to notice the great vocal arrangements. During this complete job, The Beatles showed the world what were they made of, and that they weren't a moment band, they arrived to stay and print their name as "The Biggest Band Ever Known".

This is of course a precursor in synthesizer experimentation and also an essential album on every Progressive Music Collection.
