Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Date undefinedFrankly, the album has obviously secured itself the "classic" title. Honestly, how could it not? While many feel it to be over-rated and pretentious, the impact it had on pop-culture, and the impact it continues to have, is simply massive. It is a fair assumption that there will never be another band like the Beatles, and by extension another album like Sgt. Pepper. While this is rather sad, it's also for the best. Anyone who loves the album shouldn't have a problem with this fact, as they can simply put on Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band; thirty-nine minutes of music that changed the world.

Date undefined... but I only gave it 4 stars because Paul died before this album was finished. Had Paul (not Faul) been involved in the making of this classic album, it would've been even crazier.
Still... beautiful album by the 3 remaining Beatles. Highly recommended.

Date undefined"Before Sgt. Pepper, no one seriously thought of rock music as actual art. That all changed in 1967, though, when John, Paul, George and Ringo (with "A Little Help" from their friend, producer George Martin) created an undeniable work of art..."
Really?? Before this album NO ONE considered rock music art. I didn't know. Guess they were just all wrong then weren't they?! Huh. And to this day it is "undeniable" that Sgt. Pepper is a work of art. Maybe...but *undeniable* is such a strong word. In anycase I find this album came at exactly the perfect time to maximize it's success.
"I declare that the Beatles are mutants. Prototypes of evolutionary agents sent by God, endowed with a mysterious power to create a new human species, a young race of laughing freemen." ---Timothy Leary
Yeeeaahhhh. Well, people were getting into somethings and this album seemed to really connect. Does it still matter so much? Does it stand the hard test of time? The answer is NO to that question. Obviously it's place in history is secured as one of the most important and influential albums in late 20th century pop music. Sgt. Pepper is undoubtedly an interesting album with the concept of creating alter-egos and an imaginary band for The Beatles as well as the studio innovations that went into the songs. Honestly though, the one song that truly stands out and I find interesting circa 2008 is "A Day in the Life". Why that is I can't put my finger on it, but that's how I feel.
