The CD format ruined the great cover art on that one. I remember spending hours looking at the figures and trying to get the clues to hoax. So much more than music, eh?

Me too!
The White Album is so weird and crazy that I can't help but love it!!!
It has been my favourite Beatles album right from the moment I first listened to it (way back in 1986) and my opinion has not changed since then!

You can call it pop-prog. Anyway, if you consider progressive a song like KC's I talk to the wind, you can as well consider the whole Abbey Road as progressive (ok, maybe skipping Octopus's Garden ...poor old abused Ringo!)

However, they may just be the catalyst that started the whole progressive movement. for that reason, they are worthy of our attention.

Absolutely correct, I think that way too!

Yes "Sergent Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band" is a masterpiece.

I've read here that it was pre-prog but (it is my opinion) the real prog album the beatles made is "Abbey Road".

Long tracks, synth....[IMG]smileys/smiley32.gif" border=


Hmmm...long tracks? The only long track on the LP is I Want You that clocks at 7'40", and I would call it hard rock (or hard blues) more than progressive.
The other tracks are far less than 4 minutes long (except Come Together, 4'13"), as was the group's habit!

Unless you consider the whole B-side medley as one track...but I would not do it!

aahhhh....the Beatles!!! what they have done for me you can't even imagine!!!! I love all of their albums from Rubber soul on (but I'd say that Help too isn't bad at all). It's true that Abbey Road is their most proggish effort, I DO consider I want you a proto-prog song, it's just CRAZY. And the medley of course isn't "normal" pop. Antway, Pepper is definitely great, at least for a guy like me who also loves pop other than prog (maybe one day I'll try to explain this), I think there is much more to it than only A day in the life (which is darn great of course!!), just the way they conceived the whole thing was a prog way.

The only time when I will listen to the Beatles will be when God himself comes to me and says:"Listen to the Beatles"...

I liked it when I was a teenager. I bought it back in the 80's and was quite blown away, but now it sounds ancient - and not in a pleasantly nostalgic way either. I think better albums were lade by lesser bands in 1967, notably The Moody Blues.

I also think the Beatles made better albums too. The White album and the wonderful Revolver!

One thing must be said: compare the engineering of albums made by Beatles or Rolling Stones with those of their contemporaries...Abbey Road and Ummagumma seem to come from different aeons!
Same thing with ITCOTCK

True, but 'The Days of Future Passed' by the Moody Blues, recorded in 1967 sounds years ahead of Sgt Pepper in terms of production, and in most cases the songs themselves.

IMO, anyway..

I would agree - Sgt Pepper sounds dated, but some songs from Days of Future Passed (I'm thinking mainly of Tuesday Afternoon) sound like they're from a different era. (Mind you, others sound very hippy-ish and the strings are awful).

Revolver is a more "prog" album than Sgt Pepper IMO, just listen to "Tomorrow Never Knows" and wonder how they managed to record that live in the studio with men dotted round the studio playing tape loops with pencils holding the tapes! It's also fascinating to find out what the sounds actually are (McCartney laughing, the solo from "Taxman" backwards etc).

I liked it as a kid!  It introduced me to the world of psychedelia.
