1001 Albums Summary

I like Revolver more---it's more focused. However, I like this one because it has my favorite Beatles track on it ("A Day in the Life"). The differences in vision between the members becomes more obvious here, although not to the degree that it does on The White Album. My big issue with this one is not the album at all, but is instead the way it is thought about. Many rock bands tried to make "Our Sgt. Pepper's" and many really shouldn't have. They were trying to make their big artistic statement, but this lost the audience and was a lot of why rock ceded influence to hip hop.
