Well, historic importance aside, it's pretty damn impressive, covers a range of sounds and expression unheard in rock to then, not really something i'd put on now, heard it so much as they were my first band - a masterpiece I don't need to ever hear again.

Just brilliant. Still sounds good as the day in the life in which it was recorded.

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....

Abbey road had some innovative moments, but the beatles are still a long shot from Prog. However, they may just be the catalyst that started the whole progressive movement. for that reason, they are worthy of our attention.

Really? I just found it too much for me. I mean some of the songs just felt like odd ends in the album. They could've cut down the songs and made it an awesome album, but t

The Beatles are obviously a very important band in the scheme of things and helped move rock forwards.However Sgt Peppers doesn't do it for me.It sounds hopelessly dated now and only 'A Day In The Life' can really be of any interest to a prog fan

Why not to think that Sgt Pepper's is a prog album?. Was really Pink Floyd or King Crimson the first developers of progressive music? Has anybody heard "Beeing for the benefit of Mr Kite" or "A day in the life" to say definitely that Sgt P. is not&nbs

I think "Pepper" is probably the first "Prog Pop" album - "A Day in the Life" is almost unprecedentedly inspired - but "Revolver" and the White Album (aka "The Beatles") contain some sublime prog moments. "Abbey Road"... Hmm. Utterly brilliant (it's t

Addendum - ALL the Beatle's albums sound incredible on FIRST PRESSING vinyl. Haven't got "Pepper", but I've got FP Rubber Soul + Revolver (both stereo) - and the sound is mind-blowing! I envy the people of the time; modern production focuses too much on "m

Ahhh Focus... I love focus, even the 26+ min. songs... Here we got another prog style. I like the funky spirit in all their work. Think about Happy Nightmare (mescaline), or Round Goes Gossip... They're great!! I think the first Beatles' prog so

Like it or not, there is no denying that Pepper laid the groundwork for future prog artists, as it was one of the first attempts at "serious" pop music with "arty" pretesnsions. I happen to love this album from begining to end as it all flows seamlessly

For me and my friends, being born in communist country, Sgt. Pepper was a symbol of free music and free world. It was really hard to get - only underground, and cost a lot of money - half of month salary. I remember when i first looked at the cover, e
