Why The Beatles DISLIKED Recording Sgt. Pepper

- Author Robert Rodriguez writes that while Lennon, Harrison, and Starr embraced the creative freedom afforded by McCartney's band-within-a-band idea, they "went along with the concept with varying degrees of enthusiasm." Studio personnel recalled that Lennon had "never seemed so happy" as during the Sgt. Pepper sessions. In a 1969 interview with Barry Miles, however, Lennon said he was depressed and that while McCartney was "full of confidence," he was "going through murder." Lennon explained his view of the album's concept: "Paul said, 'Come and see the show', but I didn't. I said, 'I read the news today, oh boy.'"
Everett describes Starr as having been "largely bored" during the sessions, with the drummer later lamenting, "The biggest memory I have of Sgt. Pepper... is that I learned to play chess." In The Beatles Anthology, Harrison said he had little interest in McCartney's concept of a fictitious group and that, after his experiences in India, "my heart was still out there. I was losing interest in being 'fab' at that point." Harrison added that, having enjoyed recording Rubber Soul and Revolver, he disliked how the group's approach to Sgt. Pepper became "an assembly process," whereby "a lot of the time it ended up with just Paul playing the piano and Ringo keeping the tempo, and we weren't allowed to play as a band as much."

Another well-balanced look at the truths behind the Beatles "mythology." As a creative person, I know many of the best projects can emerge from the worst/most stressful experiences. I like how you give a nuanced 4-sided view of what was going on-- there's no 1 truth when it comes to collaboration.
Loved Sgt Pepper - John was always Pooh Pooh about everything including his own songs.. Good for Paul to do his best to make such an incredible album work out. I love Paul more and more as time goes by. I never had a “favorite” and will always love them all, but I respect his personal life as well as professional; he’s a wonderful man in my eyes. I’m 74 now and went to the 1st Beatles concert at Hollywood Bowl 60 years ago: Box 111 Aug 23rd. Yeah yeah yeah. 😅
The sad thing about Sgt Pepper is that none of the people who created it could ever experience it as the listeners did. It was inspiring. It conjured up images of older times and mythic times, even while dealing with modern settings (e.g. She's Leaving Home). Even the songs' sequence implied tantalizing connections between unrelated disparate events. In short: It was a creative, mind-expanding experience. Ironically, the people who sculpted this amazing collection couldn't appreciate any of this, since their own experience was of the dreariness of working out all the details during a long gray English Winter.
Interesting that the Beatles prob could never enjoy it like….non Beatle listeners
@@JonRayRunawayVealMusic Of course, they would always have a different view - but it's sad to contemplate that their view was SO negatively different.
Wow! What a truly wonderful insight! You're right: when you're working for months on a record, even if it turns out the greatest album ever made, you will remember the hardships, the boring hours and days till you add your special piece of magic etc...
Whereas we, the listeners, were simply blown away by their sheer ingenuity und brilliance and beauty. 🙌
And some of us still are... The magic still works🤩
@@dreammachine2013 It's not unlike editing video or film. I once worked for many weeks on a project that won awards. To this day, I see the editing mistakes I ignored or allowed to slip by, and parts of the music bed get under my skin (how many times can you listen to the same playback without cringing? - even if we'd had Beethoven's 9th as a bed it would've eventually irritated me).
That's a very insightful argument as to why some of us think them akin to gods, while they of course remain perfect mortals to themselves. The distance between us and them plays a role, I'm sure.
And for a 45-year-old like me, perception of-- aka fantasizing of-- a time which precedes my birth and awareness is certainly another factor of "distance" that serves to bolster the mythology that they were some "supernatural force," when of course they were merely a rare assemblage of extremely talented people we were lucky enough to receive and behold.

While I've got anyone's attention: shout-out to George Martin! If anyone ever deserved the title "Fifth Beatle", it was most certainly that man.
People take this album for granted (Revolver seems to have taken its place as most beloved Beatles album), but it remains an essential piece of late 20th century music.
Revolver is Superior.
Yes I always say yes Revolver is a stunning album, I love it, and it might be some peoples' favorite BUT you can't turn around and slight Pepper. It is one of the best albums ever made
Paul McCartney is a genius! The concept for Sgt Pepper's was his and it is brilliant. It is my favourite Beatles album. I still can remember when it first came out and listening to it with my friends - we were astounded it was so new, so different. Pure joy.
Love it and I understand those who don't and are terribly critical - one thing though - I have never heard anything better created by those who are so critical. 🙏
👍🏼
lennons the genius lol
guess you never saw Pink Floyd in a theater in 1973 doing Dark Side of the Moon with the surround sound and the epic lasers, lights, puppets and of course the timeless music. That LP is much more cohesive than Paul's little vaudeville schtick. The best songs on Pepper had nothing to do with Paul's idea. But Pepper did hit hard 6 years earlier. But then people were crying in awe at Pink Floyd's show. That LPs music is just as timeless as Pepper and of course has sold many million more copies than Pepper.👀
Again……Paul saved them….
They didnt need to prove anything
Wow Paul is Jesus. A Jesus who liked uppers as much as the next guy lol
As always
According to this evangelist.
😂😂 Paul is responsible for their worst music.
The methodology of Pepper is much like that of Brian Wilson tracking Pet Sounds for the Beach Boys. Multiple takes ad nauseum, multiple reductions and a whole kitchen sink of instrumentation. George was always pissy, John a contrarian, and Ringo forever being available whenever needed. Penny Lane best exemplifies the Brian Wilson influence, but despite John's poo pooing the album, A Day in the Life is not only the highlight of the album but I think it's the finest Lennon-McCartney collaboration.
*Pepper* is one of the Beatles albums that I heard and tolerated before I was 7 years old and found my interest. After I found my interest after watching Yellow Submarine, it became an album that I thoroughly enjoyed. It was only subsequently when watching various documentaries or reading books about the group that I figured out how impacting it was when it was issued in 1967 I wasn't aware either that it represented such a low point in the evolution of the group. I was never one to fall for the Paul is dead conspiracy brigade, but it wouldn't be difficult to understand why so many people do feel that way when you factor in how big of a Divergence took place after the making of the previous album, *Revolver*.
Jimi Hendrix edorced it singing the title song `live`.
It was twenty years ago today. I loved it
When you have Jimi Hendrix doing covers of your song that was released three days prior, you did something right.
Sgt Pepper used to be considered the greatest album of all time. Now IMO it's become the most underrated album due to people bashing it.
First of all let's talk a bit about George. He only has one song on the album but it's a great song, one of the songs that gives Pepper the mystical quality it has. If he had shown up more often perhaps he would have been able to get at least one more tune on the album.
As for John, who cares what his opinions of his work were? The songs he contributed are fantastic.
Now on to Paul who is sadly the Beatle who gets the most hate from "fans". (haters)
She's Leaving Home happens to be a masterpiece. Its not rock, and not meant to be. It's in an early 20th century British classical style, very much like a Ralph Von Williams kind of thing. People also forget that John was involved in writing that piece as well, particularly the contrapuntal lines in the chorus.
People attack Lovely Rita, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with that song musically. Getting Better all the Time, Fixing a Hole, and Help From My Friends are all very strong pieces of music. When I'm 64 is nostalgic and charming, IMO the best of Paul's "Granny" numbers, a fine example of British Music Hall style. The title track and reprise are actually pretty hard rockers, proto grunge due to the very dirty sound coming from rhythm and lead guitars.
If one cuts through the revisionist BS and reconsiders the album on its merits as music the luster returns.
Of course no one questions th greatness of A Day In The Life, which is perhaps the greatest song that John and Paul wrote as a partnership, with George Martin's orchestration as the third piece of that greatness. The very idea that a pop song, an immensely popular one, has atonal chance music in it as a bridge is nothing short of phenomenal.
It truly is one of the greatest rock/pop albums of all time.
AGREE !!!
All right, you've sold me. I'll buy it. ;)
@@jaerivus You'll love it. Sold more than Big Macs I'm sure.
This is very true.
Sgt Peppers was put on such a pedastal for decades that it was only a matter of time when it was going to be knocked down.
Everything that gets hype is pronevto anti-hype.
Peppers is a glorius pop album, endlessly colorful and varied. Going from the classical She is leaving home to circus like Mr Kite to full blown indian raga of Within.. to swingin music hall of 64 and ringing gutars of Lovely Rita is unheard of.
I bet Martin felt like he was working with a different artist for different project for each song.
Pepper pails compared to many 67 releases regarding pure experimention but captured the spirit of the time perfectly
100 percent agree!
The best theory I've heard is that there is a narritive that flows through the songs on Sgt. Pepper, about a guy who is sad and lonely and depressed with his "Norman Normal" life until he smokes some herb and lightens up. Then he strolls around thinking profound, surreal, and creative thoughts.
Every album was good for Paul because he was the main Beatle cheerleader for that band. Paul was the guy that kept everyone working, and on point. If Paul hadn't pressed so hard, they may not have the catalog they have today.
Sour pain in the ass George and envious John attacks again
J & G mostly checked out after they stopped touring in 1966. Paul was the guy who kept pushing them to work.
@@tommybotts absolutely
I wonder how Paul didn't just say screw you all and quit. I guess his positivity and love for the Beatles stopped him
They make it sound like being in the Beatles was the biggest drag in the world!
True and remember, later, George didn't want to do the rooftop and almost robbed the world of a great Beatles moment
The beginning narration is straight from Goldman's "The Lives of John Lennon".
Personally I think they should of put ONLY A NORTHERN SONG on it plus edited WITHIN YOU WITHOUT YOU maybe even STRAWBERRY FIELD'S and PENNY LANE.
To me the concept is still on the record as their childhood as heard from Peppers band.
Ich weiß nicht welches meiner Meinung das beste Album ist; ich schwanke tatsächlich je nach meiner persönlichen Gefühlslage zwischen With The Beatles, Rubber Soul, White Album und Sgt. Pepper, manchmal aber auch Let It Be (naked).
John is talking rubbish and is just being a contrarian for effect. All of these tracks belong on this album and the concept completely works. Their best album as far as i'm concerned.
Totally agree, John was always doing what you said. He was the biggest naysayer of their works in retrospect including tracks of his own. Shall we take a moment to think of him making such comments regarding his “elephants memory” group with Yoko?! Hmmm.🤔 so very peculiar.
@@Eidann63 Good point because I always thought Elephants Memory sounded like a bad garage band with John trying to pass them off as some cool underground NYC hip thing. Sorry but I'd take the boring old Beatles and slave-driver Paul McCartney over them anyday
2nd for me behind Abbey Road, Revolver 3rd.
Poor Paul. The guy was always trying to make something great along with George Martin and he had John and George against him. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say the world is a better place because Pepper was made.
Paul was the driving force of the Beatles. Ringo even said they were lazy, if it weren't for Paul's work ethic the Beatles would've just vanished after a few years.
...and the revisionism continues, no album before or since has had the impact and influence at the time as Sgt. Peppers did, not Pet Sounds or Revolver or even my fave Rubber Soul. Like it or dislike it now or even then is irrelevant, it hit western culture and spread throughout cultures both artistically and musically.
This is a very interesting video, all of which i knew about anyway. Paul appears with 20 songs? George off building a swimming pool? They're Speeding at night? George Martin composer? Paul running up and down to the control room? and they're all bored, and who is this Billie Sheers character 😂
God bless Paul for being the driving force behind he band in the second half of their evolution ❤
Amen; totally feel the same.
Some journalist called John Lennon "the laziest man in England". Then he got up and wrote "A Day in the Life" and "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds". Lazy jerk!
To some extent, the crappiness of the recording studio gave them a common enemy. And yet they dug deep and improvised, but great credit must be accorded to Paul and Martin. It was a revelation when it arrived, "at first blush"; even more amazing is I thought they were using the latest studio tech, not bees wax, tobacco tins, cardboard tube and string. Very British that, Paul's knighthood thoroughly justified right there.
They should have let George focus on his swimming pool, cut his pretentious, preachy guru thing, “Within, Without You”. Huh?
That’s the only real stinker on the album. Lennon’s Strawberry Fields was already written and recorded.
They could have swapped that little masterpiece in, but to help George get some royalties, they cut him in, with a dud.
And all he does is piss on the album afterwards. Some “thanks”.
I have to disagree strongly. The "concept" of Sgt Pepper is arguably not a narrative but a collage of how everyday experience can be transformed and revealed to be the wonder that it really is (and that includes the dark side too). Central to this is the very different sensibilities that the Beatles represent eg Ringo's slightly melancholy everymen, George's preachiness/spirituality, John's cynicism etc. They see and speak for all of us in a way in the sense that we are all capable of viewing the world in different ways in different contexts, at different stages in our lives. (In this context it doesn't matter whether they correspond to the Beatles' actual personalities BTW).
The album's extraordinary richness is in the way these personas interact musically and lyrically. George's contribution is extraordinary in its own right eg to quote the musicologist Alan Pollack : "This intense and musically complex synthesis of Beatles' pop, summer-of-'67-sensibility, and classical Indian music is not to be taken lightly, and certainly not with ease....
One thing I'll say is that this song displays a tremendous melodic gift; with many long arch-like phrases as well as a sensitivity to the need for carefully paced passionate peaks; all of which is brought off with almost textbook-like proficiency but never a hint of the pedantic."
Now no music theorist will make anyone change their mind about whether they like a piece or not but I think I can make a good case for this song being an essential part of this album.
@@martifingers George’s song is still, really awful. Preachy, full of himself, and musically nothing there. John and Paul were very kind, letting him get a shot at some royalties.
The only mystery with the album cover is a missing apostrophe.
thanks for using the word FECUND.
2 years before Billy Peppers and The Pepperpots
John's envy of Paul's musical proficiency and charisma started to grow big starting with Pepper.
It's not really about a concept. It's a pastiche collage of Pop Art. But it's a touchstone of Psychedelia, yet it's possibly a victim of delusional grandeur.
The Beatles relied on Speedballs during Pepper??? On what authority?
That's a mixture of cocaine and heroin isn't it? I don't believe George ever did heroin and Paul certainly didn't.
John always with his negative BS!
lennon was not happy "Paul" took over the band
@@PaulFormentos so you write “Paul” meaning he’s really ‘Faul?’ Please!!
@@elementrypenguin3116 Explain "Paul's" fake mustache
@@PaulFormentos what is it I’m supposed to explain?
It was stupid. They never recorded in the U.S.
Well never having recorded in the U.S. makes the entire thing null & void. 😄
Apart from Lucy and She’s Leaving Home l am not a big fan of Pepper either.
Day in the Life don't move ya??
@@PaulFormentos a bit overrated imo
In my thinking they would have done something else might have been better this was a very very commercial album another one like revolver would have been just a successful or even better
Harrison and Lennon were major pains in the ass. I don't know how McCartney put up with their shit all those years.
To my ears, Pepper was soo boring as an album
There are some good individual songs, but as an album, the aura about this album puts me to sleep.
White album is better, kind of…
Jimi Hendrix said the exact opposite about the two albums. He couldn’t understand why the Beatles abandoned their 1967 creative streak. Personally, I like both albums, but they certainly did make a turn during and after India.
Totally agree with the three. The album is unlistenable.
SGT P is my least favorite Beatles album. Its inflated due to its departure from their norm and "concept" idea. But it really is weak. A few John songs stand out like "Lucy" and "Day in the life". But Paul's "granny songs" like "Rita" and "When I'm 64" are fun but surface level only. I have a hard time listening to it. A lot of fluff from Paul fills most of it. John saved it by at least bringing some edge to it from his songs. I also think it's telling that your casual Beatles fans lean towards Pepper. It's the most "safe" album to get into. Paul could write loads of tracks. But that does not mean those tracks were great. Quality should trump quantity. You see this on Let it Be and Abbey Road. Abbey Roads biggest songs were from George and John. Even though Paul did the dumb medley. I like that John could half ass it and show up half the time and still out shine Paul. I think Paul's great mind you. But he failed as a leader and pushing the band forward was fine as long as he was pumping out songs.
I definitely agree to an extent, to me Revolver was a better album than Pepper. Never could stand When I’m 64, Fixing a Hole, Getting Better (all Paul songs), and Being for The Benefit of Mr Kite (John). Definitely disagree about Lovely Rita though, always really liked that one. Also not big on Good Morning Good Morning but it’s an okay-ish song to me, honestly same with Lucy in The Sky With Diamonds (probably gonna get a lot of flack for that opinion lol). Other than that though I like pretty much all the other songs on the album pretty well. Still prefer Rubber Soul, Revolver, and The White Album over Pepper though.
My God, you just spotued the most lukewarm takes ever

I fully agree. apart from the first song, Lucy and A day... the rest of the songs are not very interesting. The white album is undoubtedly better
@@pez.emikazoo Is this Macca? Macca, bruh. I'm sorry, but it needed to be said.
ive always said Revolver and Rubber Soul smoke Sgt Peppers.
I think Sgt. Pepper is a beautiful album and I love the cover!
Crowley on there TWICE
Sgt Pepper is a great concept album. Poor John, his comments are just plain wrong that "it doesn't go anywhere." "Mr Kite" doesn't have to do with the Pepper concept? A song about a circus poster is EXACTLY what the Pepper concept needed. "Good Morning" like "Lovely Rita" and "When I'm 64" present images of characters in the world (shallow characters like the guy driving around the school to pick up girls, a guy so shy he can't even talk to a policewoman, people dreamily pretending it's the future), characters like the audience for which they've made this Pepper show. Every song on the album fits the show concept. A children's song? (LSD) A family story? (Leaving Home) Even Paul's Getting Better and Fixing a Hole reflect the very audience they're singing to and George's presents a cynical turn, so many sides shown at once. The Sgt Pepper motif works fine as a set up and only Day in the Life is outside it. Also it's the last album where all Beatles were present for each recording -- which was why it was seen as "boring." At the time it was about respecting each other's contributions. Sgt Pepper is a finer concept album than Pet Sounds, by the way. It's still my favorite Beatle album too. Abbey Road sounds over produced and slick compared to it.
It was a work of art, and will go down as one of the most thoughtful and creative pop records of all time. Often those who create dont appreciate their own work. Pet Sounds had some wonderful (!) songs, but wasn’t Sgt. Pepper (and I do greatly like The Beach Boys having come from that generation.)
I'm with you on this. After Sgt Pepper there were many bands who tried their own concept albums, from the Stones (Satanic Majesties) to Procol Harum (A Salty Dog). The album inspired some of the most creative work of _other_ bands, and it was a turning point.
Mediocre, uninspired songs.
It seems to me the concept is a band playing songs on stage, the very thing the Beatles had recently stopped doing. Like most of their albums, they managed present yet another array of mysterious, innovative and surprisingly touching songs, at a new level of sophistication. Pepper wasn’t a guitar driven album although when guitar is used it is innovative as well. The first guitar we hear is Paul after having seen Jimi Hendrix live.
I the end, sgt pepper is all about, A DAY IN THE LIFE, this song changed everything, the true Beatles peak , the best song ever. Fact ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the informative vid...I enjoyed Sgt Pepper but not surprised that John didn't....he didn't have the commitment of Paul and was just a cranky guy ! 😆
It's understandable that not everyone would like everything about Pepper, and not every Beatle would have the same experience recording it. What everyone can probably agree on is Pepper contains some absolutely awesome tracks that have been given rave reviews by critics, changed the lives of some (based on comments posted), inspired many, and remembered and enjoyed by most even to this day, almost 60 years from its release.
I don't find that album as good as the White Album
Listen to Good Morning Good Morning (2017 remix). Fantastic.
For me it just starts the trend on Beatle albums where directly after you get some George Harrison mystical groundbreaking journey thing, it's immediately followed by what McCartney thinks Beatle music is all about. Vaudeville or Bubblegum. It starts here. And every album following you'll get this.
It doesn’t really hold up. Lucy and ADIAL are highlights. White album revolver and Abby are so much better.
Totally agree, but have to admit that many songs from that album are really "strange" even to this day...so it made whole album a real revolution
Strong disagree personally on what John said. "Lucy", "A Day in the Life", and other great songs from this album like "When I'm Sixty-Four" honestly couldn't have gone on any other album. They found such a home on this one. That's why this is one of my favorite Beatles albums ever.
Rich young guys disliking recording certain albums... perspective of life really makes it seem trivial after awhile.
Sgt Pepper is a great album even has a loose concept album.
It's a Paul album really but John makes contributions that rivals Paul's contributions so it really shows that Lennon-McCartney know how to write great songs.
George wasn't really invested in Pepper that much and he only brought up two songs which were Only a Northern song and Within you Without you which the latter got put on the album and its really a great song that pairs indian music and western music especially George Martian's strings and orchestra which makes the track much better.
Overall its one of their best albums 🍓
not considering personalities (morals values, politics, work ethic. or anything, else...) Paul was a hit machine, but his song are nowhere near the caliber and art of John's. John's contribution to music is much more substantial
This is a whole bunch of not very well founded assumptions and conclusions. The only thing I would tend to agree to is, Sgt. Pepper is not a concept album.
It's just when people say something it's snowballs into something bigger there are only three good songs Georgia song and Lucy in the Sky the sky
Who cares what they say now or then. It is still one of the best or the best album ever made by a rock or pop group.
👍🏼 yes.
white album any day lol
Peppers is peppered with lots of cool backmasking
1:31 what happened in 1966 george? Always dropping hints
9:56 why are there two Paul’s in the religious art?
Billy's here have you guessed
I bet John, George and Ringo loved the money it earned for them. Not to mention the notoriety and respect.
if it was about that they'd have got into something else where money is the focus not creativity, they're allowed to be bored with the process when it isn't sparking for them, creative people can be like that
Creators of ANYTHING always have feelings like this about their own works !! It's the same kind of sentiment that Alan Parsons has about The Dark Side of the Moon, "I don't need to listen to it again; I know every note!" Beethoven and Mozart were most likely dissatisfied with what they produced too! What remains is the works themselves and if THEY can speak for themselves, then the other issues don't really matter that much !!
George was tired of touring, was tired of recording, just tired. Quiet Beatle turned annoying
I hate to think that they could create such a beautiful thing and really not have enjoyed it. That's just sad.
Fixing a hole , Lucy and lovely Rita are just amazing and a day in the life
Well, ir was never my favorite either, I preferred Abby Road.
Because Paul was gone and Billy and Malcolm were in charge. Put two and two together. It was also recorded in the States at Capitol.
Poor Mal. done in when not needed, like brian was
@@PaulFormentos Absolutely buddy. Somebody who knows! Right on.
It's simple. the others did not like how "Paul" took COMPLETE control of the band
What's funny is that it was the others who didn't want to tour, once Paul lost touring, he threw all his effort and drive into the studio, the others didn't. Ringo probably would have still toured. Going off the road was the biggest mistake they ever made. What they should have done was toured only on THEIR TERMS. Limited dates, state of the art production for the live shows, the concert rider of all concert riders. They would have gotten it too.
@@benfullenkamp5750 State of the art in 67 wasn't ready for live pepper show
Were they really speedballing during the Pepper sessions? Like coke AND heroin? Thought John was the only one to try/have a habit with H and that that didn’t happen til late 1968-throughout 1969? I know Paul was doing a good bit of coke during the Pepper sessions and I would say the others partook too. But aside from Paul accidentally trying H once thinking it was coke I didn’t think any of them messed with H except John during 1969. Always thought that they just smoked weed, took speed, maybe had a drink or two, and did coke and maybe the occasional downer (Tuinal, Valium, that sorta stuff) in the studio, especially during the Pepper sessions and did LSD but not when recording or anything (aside from the time John accidentally took some mistaking it for speed). Didn’t realize they were doing heroin though. Or by speedball did you mean coke/speed mixed with regular more typical downers rather than a mix of coke and heroin? Would definitely like to see the source for that info you used for the video. Not saying it isn’t true or anything like that by any means, but between being a nerd about drugs as well as The Beatles I’ve always just wanted to know what state of mind they’d typically be in during recording sessions, especially from the Rubber Soul to the Let it Be era.
I suspect that they were snorting a mix of pretty clean coke with a little bit of a barbiturate tossed in to take the edge off. Meth was usually avoided in those days ("speed kills" was a common warning) and H was not widely used.
Nonsense.
@@rgnyc That's pretty much what i was thinking, know that John did H during 1969 but none of them were ever on straight meth. They just did the straight-amphetamine pills throghout the 60's starting in Hamburg in 1962 or so.
Mccartney was doing doing cocaine during the recording period of sgt. According to Barry Miles “Many Years From Now”that is
For mine, while Sgt Peppers contained possibly the Beatles greatest single track "A Day in the LIfe", I feel that its predecessor "Revolver" was a more complete album artistically and also in terms of whole-of-group involvement and commitment.
Most overrated period ever i don't mind the album at all, George is right
I think Revolver is their best. Not a bad song in it and it pushed the boundaries.
From this perspective, you can see the beginning of the break up of the Beatles. Revolver was their last super great album where all musicians were very motivated, and songwriting was at its peak
It was Paul’s first solo production, and it was great…!
not at all, some of the best moments are John's, I agree with the other members it isn't their best album it drags quite a bit in places
@@NickSBailey well I guess it’s all about personal preference, and the mass majority says it’s their best…!
Billy Pepper and The Pepper Pots Nice to get introduced to Billy Shears…
for a first release, Bravo Billy
Overrated. Its sound is interesting (although dated) but songs are mediocre.
Anyone has any common sense and can lose the fanboy childishness this whole sergeant pepper's lonely heart club band is pretty lame and sort of like a dork and it's not a concept out of him it's John Lennon's sad There's no concept to it all the songs could have been on any other album So this whole stupid dang peppers is just that it's stupid and I'm sick of hearing about Paul because he comes across me as a Monumental manipulative control freak and John and George is especially bulked at that and they were sick of the whole Beatles maniacal fab 4 infantile
