yes, it is true the Beatles are not prog and Sgt is not a concept album. it is also true that they are the most important band ever and this is one of their greatest albums alongside Revolver and Abbey Road

I have had this album as a cassette, vinyl album and cd. The vinyl album artwork is amazing. The music itself is superb and it doesn't decay with time like so many other works from that era.

Now to those of you who dare to say that Sgt Pepper has some filler songs. No it doesn't. It is a solid concept album.

If i had to name 3 most important albums of all times, i would say Elvis 1956, Sgt Pepper and Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen. These are the albums that changed music world as we know it.

It was a concept album as the concept was they became a totaly different band and wrote and played what that band would write and play. The only song written by the Beatles as the Beatles was A Day in the Life. This song in particuler is one of the deepest (lyricly) songs in the history of pop music (prog is pop music)

A Day in the Life, Within You Without You and Mr. Kite are prog songs. The album the way it was sequenced and with the reprise tacted on makes it a concept album.  A Conept Album not in the theme sense but more in a musical sense. Anyhow the album was a blueprint for future progressive rockers.  I would say it was Revolver that is the better album. Revolver and Sgt Peppers are the biggest reasons why rock went away from its 50's roots. Those albums put art rock, psychedelic, and experimental rock on the map due to its sheer album sales and fusion with pop.

As you may guess by my nickname, I'm a huge fan of this album. Although it is not my favourite Beatles album (Abbery Road is), it is definitely and undeniably one of the greatest albums ever and probably the most influential, and without a doubt was an influence for most prog bands that would start appearing in the next few years.
I also think it was somehow a concept album, thought not lyrically, but in the way it was conceived and created.

In the end the love you take is equal to the love you made...
