revolver utter mogs tf out of pepper. Ive never gotten the appeal either. white album and abbey road are better too.

Very true. Have you seen my John Lennon wallpaper?

Whats cohesive about Sgt Peppers?

>paul is going around planning an elaborate album concept and conducting avant-garde free improvisation sessions
>all of john's songs were just bored musings on random shit he read in the newspaper or saw on tv while wasting away in the suburbs
Most brutal creativity mogging in music

>>126954691
A bunch of lukewarm grany tunes you mean.

>>126954691
Paul was infinitely more talented than John. The stretch of time right after the breakup where they were dissing each other was so funny because john had to contend with the fact that he couldn't hold a candle to solo Paul.

>>126954530 (OP)
Sgt Peppers is Beatles worst because it's McShartney's brainchild

theres nothing on pepper that carries the album for me like eleanor rigby, tomorrow never knows, yesterday, or dear prudence. and theres no kicking rock bangers like helter skelter or taxman either. its certainly not bad but for golden era beatles standards I dont find it special.

>>126954714
harrison BTFO both of them, he just didnt have a planet sized ego like john and paul so he just did his own thing on the side.

>>126954801
A Day in the Life mogs all of those fucking tracks and you know it.

>boomers actually listened to "when Im 64" and shit their pants, crying, and it was all warm and squishy and it kinda felt good, but it was naughty and they needed a spanking for it and then to get scrubbed extra hard in the bath

>>126954664
he's wrong to say it's more "cohesive" but I would say it flows better. each song is so unique, they sort of act as foils to each other

>>126954714
Nah. Paul was simply more professional. He's absolutely the better craftsman, but John is hard to beat in terms of raw talent.

>>126954821
yeah I actually forgot about that one. definitely the best on pepper. but I still think revolver is better.

>>126954821
It's a nice little song but the chorus going "AAAaaAaaaAAAA" just means they couldn't figure anything else to tie to unreleated pieces of lyrics together.
Beatles use alot of aaAAAaa chorus, I love them, but I also want to be invited into an etheral trip, not pushed off the edge.

>>126954816
>harrison BTFO both of them
Nobody actually believes this. "Harrison is the best beatle" is simply just the second most acceptable contrarian stance after "the beatles aren't good".

>>126954801
Sgt Peppers is celebrated as a complete work; I think that's why it's so often cited as one of the first "concept albums" (even despite the concept being half baked, only sparsely applied, and with the genius premise of "we are a BAND and we are singing SONGS"

It's the sheer variety on the album that blows peoples minds, rightly

>>126954691
Creativity mogging in the sense that John did the best songs on the album?

>>126954866
That's my literal favorite part of the song next to the massive grandiose orchestral climaxing lol. I think it's because it's mean to be trippy and dreamy moreso than a typical structured song. Sure it's lazy in the songwriting sense but it's their best song imo. Saves Pepper from being a mediocre album.

>>126954691
Yeah John's musings are almost always more interesting than Paul's lyrics about.. whatever. All of paul's songs are about one thing at a time. They're all somewhat fantastical. "She's Leaving Home" is uniquely interesting, lyrically, but still one dimensional.

John songs are like these tours of the psyche

>>126954821
Tomorrow Never Knows and Dear Prudence are just as good

You're the porn addict here if the first thing that comes to your mind at the word "Climaxing" is jacking off.

>>126954933
Why are you thinking about another man orgasming?

>>126954860
Would you not consider vocal range a part of talent?

>>126954992
I just think it's cool

>>126954918
this is why Paul's lyrics are better: they aren't pretentious purple-prosey ramblings

>>126955161
John lyrics are way better

>>126955176
nope. see >>126955161 for why
also Paul's rhymes are way better. all of John's rhymes are poor (lazy with crazy for instance)

>>126955149
I would, though I'm not sure who you're advocating for here. Perhaps Paul has a better range but John's voice had a much rawer rock sound. John commented "Oh, Darling!" should have instead been sung by him and I can't say I disagree.

>>126955161
>>126955176
>>126955183
Paul's rhymes are far superior; you can memorize Paul lyrics after hearing them one time, whereas even John himself would fuck up his own lyrics sometimes (as they are far less 'intuitive')
That said, John's songs are more vulnerable and personal. John's lyrics are real.. he talks about his emotions in a straightforward way. Paul has no lyrics which may compete with I'm Only Sleeping, Yes It is, Girl, etc.

I'm not saying Paul isn't emotive, but he always seems to describe his problems from a distance, and in a way that seems secondary to the music. Like as in Yesterday, or For No One, or of course, Hey Jude, which only obscurely references John's son.

>>126955183
John's lyrics just sound better "Please don't spoil my day, I'm miles away" it's simple it's beautiful. "Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see" Paul tells stories, John paints pictures

>>126955248
>Paul tells stories, John paints pictures
I couldn't have said it better.

>>126954816
Within You Without You is the most out-of-place song btw, George's India autism nearly ruined the record.

>>126954539
Welcome. Now go back.

>>126954691
john was based for chimping out during the ob la di sessions and paul was based for making it the take they used

I dont give a fuck about lyrics, Im listening to a song not reading a book. pauls voice and melodies are much better, simple as that. not being a mega pretentious shitlib is a plus too.

george>paul>ringo>john

>>126955386
>pauls voice and melodies are much better
Okay, how about the other parts of a song lol
A song isn't just a voice and melody. You'd get far less conventional structures with John songs, which were compelling.

Also.. stop. Lyrics are important.

>>126955430
Well, some of the other parts are gonna remain pretty consistent between John and Paul’s songs because they aren’t the only two members of the band. Ringo is still gonna do his thing, Paul will still play bass and George and John will still be on guitar. I know you’re getting at composing styles but because they’re still in the Beatles for the songs we’re talking about you kind of have to use melodies and lyrics to tell the John and Paul songs apart.

>>126955386
Paul writes beautiful melodies but so does John. John's voice is beautiful, there's no other voice like it in my opinion

>>126955472
>you kind of have to use melodies and lyrics to tell the John and Paul songs apart.
Absolutely. Alls I'm saying is I appreciate the nuances and quirks to John's songs more and more as I get age. The songs speak to me.
Paul's songs appeal to my aesthetic sensibilities but mostly just that.

>>126955386
>I dont give a fuck about lyrics, Im listening to a song not reading a book.
Yeah dude and when I'm reading a book with illustrations I ignore the illustrations to focus solely on the words. And when I'm watching a movie I don't care about the script or the sound design or anything, only visual stuff. Every work of art should only appreciated based on the most narrow definition of the medium it's in, that's the sophisticated way.

>>126956209
>reading a book with illustrations

most people stop doing this after turning about 8 years old, rajesh.

>John Lennon wallpaper....

Paul's songs could be about anything and it's reflected in his songwriting. It just doesn't matter. Martha my Dear is about his dog. Just had a nice tune and was like "I guess I'll sing about my dog". IIRC "Yesterday"'s original premise was laughably silly. Helter Skelter is about a carnival slide. He doesn't often touch the depths of human emotions though is quite gifted at depicting the serene. Mother Nature's Son, for example.

John's music and lyrics are inextricable. There is no "She's So Heavy" without the music and lyrics being exactly what they are. He's much more holistic in his approach in that way.

George seems pretty deliberate with his songwriting and only transcends when the inspiration is genuine, such as in Here Comes the Sun.

Ringo blows them all out of the water, of course.

>>126954594
>John Lennon wallpaper....

>>126954530 (OP)
When I'm 64 is one of their greatest songs imo. Makes for a great gypsy jazz interpretation, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4ZCtdZ-VRQ

>>126954639
I know for a fact that you're not the real "Toejam Fag", but it's nice to see somebody carrying on the battle against Blue Meanies like Boyband Fag.

>>126954801
I like the mono version of Getting Better, but it HAS to be the mono version.
The stereo version is shit.

>>126954530 (OP)
Pepper's was stage 9 cringe, right before the MMT peak of cringe.
Ticket to Ride is their best moment, and Revolver is their best album.

You know, The Beatles took a lot of time and effort to printing the lyrics of their songs with their records, (Sgt. Pepper, MMT, White Album) so you are going to sit down and read the lyric sheet with every song you listen to, young man, or else!

Are all good. Surprised you didn't mention Something, lol. The rest weren't all that special.

I personally thing Long Long Long is his greatest achievement with the band.

>>126956610
Yeah I addressed this.. Paul sings song about nothing. John's lyrics are more compelling.

revolver>>>rubber>>pepper>>abbey>>white

rest are trash

>>126956646
White Album btfos Faggy Road, Sgt Pecker's Lonely Fags Club Band and Rubber Hole

>>126954592
pepper was first beatles album that had same tracks both in uk and usa.
it was really the birth of albums, instead of singles, being main pop/rock product. probably why it is the most historically remembered.

>>126956621
>comic books, graphic novels,
Are for children or the intellectually stunted.
>or artwork in general...
This doesn't mean anything or even address his comment.

>>126956624
I also didn't mention I Need You.
Those are good George songs, but not among my favorites.
Yeah, Long x3 doesn't really get the love it deserves.

>>126957650
Ahhh. YOUBLOWGOATS...!!!

>>126957450
Wait I though Rubber Soul -> Pet Sounds -> Lonely Hearts.

>>126957450
Almost true, but not 100% accurate.
Yes, Sgt. Pepper was the first album where the U.S. and British version were ALMOST identical. (The U.S. version did not ave the lock track at the end of side two)
Actually Side one of Beatles for Sale, and Beatles 65 are exactly identical, EXCEPT, Beatles 65 doesn't have Kansas City on it.

Also, the ONLY difference between the U.S. and British Revolver is that the British version has three extra songs left off the U.S. version. (And Your Bird Can Sings, I'm Only Sleeping, and Dr. Robert)

However, Beatles fans got to hear And Your Bird Can Sing, Dr. Robert, and I'm Only Sleeping on Yesterday and Today, which was released one month before Revolver in both The U.S. and Britain.

Go back to /b/.

>>126957818
We didn't get Yesterday and Today here in bongistan.

if it was just one album without all the filler Id agree
