Re: 40 years
Personally, I never cared for Sergeant Pepper; I thought it was pretentious, contrived and self-indulgent. I also think that it had a hugely damaging effect on popular music by encouraging other musicians to go in this direction, leading to some of the most pompous, over-blown drivel ever committed to vinyl. It would have been much better if the Beatles had bucked the trend in '67 by going back to basics and becoming the tight little rock 'n' roll band they were in 1961. They would have produced better music and possibly pushed the music scene in general in a much more exciting direction, well away from the clutches of the dreaded progressive rock menace,
However, I accept that my views are very much in the minority!
