goose Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 @19:00, the genesis of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, including the child's painting that inspired it. George Martin describing the opening keyboard phrase @ 20:45 is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadoood Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Great album. I get it's historical significance. Personally, I feel Dark Side of the Moon is the first " modern" sounding album. It still feels fresh today, whereas Sgt. Peppers is very much from 1967. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 @23:00, Goerge on the impact of drugs on the creative process. Just before that, Paul talks about how the drug scene is much more destructive today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I respect Sgt. Pepper, and love at least four, maybe five of its tracks. But it doesn't please me the way Rubber Soul, Help! Or The White Album do every time I spin them. I will not say overrated, as it is just a matter of taste. A Day In The Life is a fantastic song though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 And Pet Sounds is still ten thousand times better. I absolutely love Pet Sounds.Sgt. Pepper parallels Pet Sounds in so many ways, including the pre-album release of an epic single that was not included on the album in the end.

By Tor Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Anyway . Sgt .Pepper .The reason I`m here right now typing this post is because of Sgt. Pepper . I listened to music from the wee age of 5 years old ( 1967 strangely enough ) picking up 45`s for the entertainment of my family and friends and putting on classics like Hello Dolly , Juliet and many more sounds from the 60`s Fast forward to 1973 and I bought Band On The Run .by Paul McCartney and Wings . Loved it . Then I found and bought Sgt . Pepper on which my new Pop hero was on . I stuck it on sat back That was the day my life changed . Talk about Alice in Wonderland it just blew me away from the start of the orchestra tuning up till the last orgasmic long strains of the crashing PianosPure magical music form a band at the top of there game the album that had it allRock , Psychedelic , Indian , Soap opera , the Tune in of a Day In The Life ( a beginning of Prog ?) This set the path for the rest of my life It is and as long as I live the greatest album that I was very lucky to stumble upon . For all albums I have heard there are many great ones .Sgt. Pepper was then and now the reason why I listened to albums , that maybe one day I may come across that Buzz and divine moment that I had all those years ago .But I know that will never happen . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I'd love to be able to watch the documentary. How well I remember when the album first came out. It made quite an impact back then. It is a shame that most of you here weren't around (or too young) to live through all of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) I just remembered that A Day In The Life was banned from being played on the radio for a time when the album came out. I clearly remember taking the album jacket to my brother-in-law and asking him to read they lyrics and tell me why the song was banned. I think I was about 12 or 13?

Narps Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I have never heard an entire Beatles album or owned one. I have obviously heard their music over and over again.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I think sgt pepper has aged well, considering its immense popularity still But for me, it just isn't consistent enough to satisfy me. But its all taste, not an issue with the era. And a day in the life is just beyond perfection. Alongside helter skelter and good night, it is one of those atypical beatles songs that simply stop people in their tracks and go "dude, this band wrote Yellow Submarine? What the hell is this???"

I can honestly say, they do not strike me as your thing. But the white album would be my recommendation to you, as it has some genuine heaviness and lyrical daftness that i find endlessly addictive, and beautiful. Like Tusk, I love every single song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Love the flow of Sgt. Peppers. One of my favorite George solos can be found on this album on Fixing a Hole. Short and sweet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put it on yesterday and got almost through the first 2 songs at picked up the needle and put it away . I put on Rumours instead.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 It's hard for me to be objective about The Beatles because I grew up with them. Even when I hear one of their songs today, I don't listen to it and think: "Wow! Great song!" but more like "Oh, a Beatles song." I think it was Ringo that prompted me one day to ask why they needed a drummer because he seemed to do nothing. :laughing yellow guy: :laughing yellow guy: :laughing yellow guy: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your enjoyment of Tusk largely depends on your view of Buckingham's experimentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
