Is Sgt Pepper Prog?

Now I understand why this place is calm and peaceful lately.

^OK....I had noticed that Micky had been gone for a while....I missed his acerbic wit and mentioned it in the thread earlier but I guess he missed my post also.

^What do you mean by....'his condition got sidestepped'..?

Glad we're all getting along now. :) Just wish I'd never starting that stupid texting thread lol.

I also appreciate the insult, thank you. When resorting to namecalling you're basically throwing in the towel.

Throw gas on the bonfire? Wrong there, pal.
99% of my posts have always been in english and that 1% french is here to stay. You can see it as a 'marque de commerce' or you can try to ban me from the site but good luck with that, man.

Have a nice day.

Pet Sounds contains about the same amount of rock. There were literally thousands of progressive albums being made before either Sgt Pepper and Pet Sounds...but like those they too weren't rock albums.  When we talk about prog rock I think we need to remember the rock part of the equation...or else we're back to the likes of Stravinski, Stockhausen, Coltrane, Charlie Parker and Ligeti who all made progressive albums before The Beatles and The Beach Boys.  All of the above mentioned artists influenced prog rock on a wide scale, but that does not make them prog either.  Hey, wait a minute! How many rock songs are on In The Court Of The Crimson King?

5.

Like I said in French (Guldy the Censor is always deleting my witty French comments ):

Utter nonsense!

I just listened to the album actually and I guess you're halfright about Lucy and with a little help from my friends (although the latter doesn't quite feel like a rock tune before in landed in Joe Cocker's lap). The rest sounds like baroque pop with a bit of rock perchance? So yeah we probably have different definitions

But a prog album? Nahh...

That is exactly my point. Both The Beatles and The Beach Boys are heralded in this thread for having made the first prog album, yet neither of those albums are rock. They may be progressive, just like the ones I mentioned, but they're not rock.
