Thread 127321080

Why do gen x and millenial critics think Revolver is better than Sgt Pepper's? Boomers were right, this is their masterpiece. It's everything they been working towards manifesting.

Zoomeretard, boomers fave is abbey road

Mill’s go for the white album

>>127321097
Pretty sure it was the boomers who named this the best album of all time in several publications

>>127321097
most clueless poster of the day award. when abbey road first came out it wasn't considered anywhere near their peak. hard days night and sgt pepper were their most popular albums. its only in the last 15 years that magazines like rolling stone have started to consider abbey road as one of their best

>>127321097
Abbey Road was getting slammed by boomers for being overproduced lol

i just dont like filler artfag wankery
or at least not at that ratio

>>127321080 (OP)
who cares, you get different answers from different states in the us. you fucking retarded zoomies are doomed in your lame need to reach consensus

>>127321226
it is

kinks were the actual good brit band anyways
put sgt peppers up against arthur or village green. its not even fucking close. sgt peppers was the beginning of the terminal artfaggery that led to the end

>>127321080 (OP)
If they put Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane on the album it would have been remembered as their greatest effort. Swap When I'm 64 for Strawberry Fields at least would have been great

Revolver came first and marked a more dramatic shift. Sgt Peppers is maybe better but they were already into their "weird" territory by then.

did you know /mu/ used to hate this band? you used to get bullied relentlessly for even insinuating you liked the beatles. better times. you wouldn't have liked it.

>>127321080 (OP)
Critics give Revolver the bump because it was more experimental and revolutionary, but I think Pepper is a more refined and cohesive musical statement.

>>127321080 (OP)
it's cuz they were a pop group and then on revolver all of a sudden there were songs like eleanor rigby and tomorrow never knows

>>127321476
>Pepper is a more refined and cohesive musical statement.
its as cohesive as Revolver, or in other words, there isnt much cohesion

>>127321623
Your wrong and should feel really bad about your Beatles opinions. Show wallpaper.

>>127321623
>its as cohesive as Revolver, or in other words, there isnt much cohesion
NTA but.. Sgt Peppers is a very deliberately kaleidoscopic record. Every song is very drastically different from the next. Reolver has some standard rock tunes and some extremely different songs. It's like half a normal (if progressive) record and half wildly experimental.
Peppers, on the other hand, maintains a consistently psychedelic tone throughout.

>wildly experimental
lol

>>127321683
>listen to sgt peppers
>"sup we are the sgt peppers band"
>*a bunch of songs that are not related between each other*
>"well, sgt peppers band has to go"
>*a long song that starts heccing wholesomerino, but becomes the heccing slowburn dark horror*
yea man the best album ever

>>127321080 (OP)
The granny/jeet tunes are a slog

>>127321754
that's not on Revolver.

But let's play your little game. That opening chord on "Hard Day's Night", which came out the same year as the song you posted, was considered absolutely revolutionary. Artists weren't using chords like that in their songs in 1964.

>>127321754
and less than three years later they were cutting tomorrow never knows
unprecedented

>>127321760
I don't see why any of those statements should be disqualifying.

>>127321080 (OP)
This album probably tastes like birthday cake.
