Sargent Pepper worse than Magical Mystery Tour? Come on! Maybe you should give both albums another listen...

I don't like Sargent Pepper's as much as Abbey Road or some of the other Beatles albums, but it did make a HUGE impact on popular music. It even caused Brian Wilson to have a nervous breakdown.

I dunno. I don't like it as much as the general majority, but i have heard that there are people that think "Horses" and "Rumours" are overrated albums as well, which leads me to believe that taste is very personal, after all.. :)

disagree, Sgt. Peppers was the pioneering album, while Abbey Road is a good listen it didn't try as many new techniques and while Magical Mistery Tour used the ideas better it wasn't the first to try them.

Horrendously overrated is an overstatement but indeed i like Abbey road a lot better.

This is not an anti-Beatles entry. I just think that Sgt. Pepper is horrendously overrated. Look at the albums that came before and after it - Revolver and Magical mystery tour. Both are much better in terms of songwriting, plus Magoical mystery tour is even more experimental than Sgt.
Revolver and Magical mystery tour should definitely be praised much more than that one as a whole.

What do you think?
