 Topic: Sgt. Pepper OR Days Of Future Passed?
Posted: April 05 2014 at 07:25 |
Both albums released in 1967, more towards classic music than psychedelic pop and very important precursors to progressive music. Simply, which is better?  If anyone's curious, here are the ratings on PA:
Sgt. Pepper: 4.31 (from 682 ratings) Days Of Future Passed: 4.14 (from 499 ratings)
Got a feeling I know which will win, but hopefully it'll be interesting to read your comments! As always, thanks for any feedback  |

Really. I adore Days, but Sgt is the start of everything.

Definitely Days. Pepper has a few great tracks but is not the strongest of Beatle albums. Days on the other hand is very satisfying as a complete album work.

Both are great albums and I don't believe that one is 'better' than the other.
I think that Pepper was probably more influential, but I play the Moody Blues more these days.
Can't choose....  |

Which is better? I like both but really don't want to go there. I like Sgt. Pepper a little better.
Probably by a margin of 4.31 to 4.14...

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

The Magnificent Moodies -- just a beautiful album. Sgt. Peppers is one of my least favorite Beatles albums.

The Moody Blues Days of Future Passed

When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

Those of you who have picked one over the other are fools, fools I say,
