SGT PEPPER WOULD HAVE BEEN A GREATER ALBUM IF THEY WOULD'VE INCLUDED "STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOR EVER" AND "PENNY LANE" LIKE THEY HAD PLANNED, BUT INSTEAD CHOSED TO RELEASE THEM AS SINGLES.
Yes, then they could have thrown out "Good morning Good morning" and "Lovely Rita".
@@Oledengamle
I heard they were preassured to release something, and only 3 songs were ready: (Strawberry fields, Penny lane, and When I'm 64).
They choose the former two.
EMI pressured them into releasing singles. So George Martin gave them those songs. He said it's the biggest mistake of his career.
They wanted to. But was forced to release those 2 early on.
I think Abbey Road was the only Beatles album that didn't have some of the songs removed?
one of the most important album in music history
It is the most important
How is it important? It only heralded the hippie movement.
The Greatest Album of All Time
No.
@@curly_wyn Yes.
@@curly_wyn Yes.
@@Goatchild90 Nope.
@@Flesh_licking_spider_monkeys Nope.
Still enjoy this album after all these years . I first heard it on a pirate radio station .Only their Abby Road album comes close .
The title should be why sgt pepper is the best album ever made.
No
Absolutely
Greatest album made by greatest band of all time
Revolver and Rubber Soul are better albums for me
@@dingtheking7013 right on
Greatest Album Cover of all time and Abbey Road
Your right
“The US”
*shows picture of the US, Mexico, and Central America*
1:28 Sure that’s the all the U.S? A see a bit of a problem with this map.
Did you have to mention Lady Gaga? That's like mixing oil and water. But Zappa was already there.
Yes? Because music and art as a whole is a trickle down experience. The innovations and ways of yesteryear form the basis of modern day creation. Whether or not you like it or consider consider "artsy" enough doesnt matter
@@iampinball3669 You'll have to explain yourself. It doesn't make sense in what you said.
It's great because of Pet Sounds
Ahm... How is Lady Gaga experimental??
Aleksandar Stojaković ikr. Basic 4 chord songs with slightly mixed modulations here and there. Disgrace.
I saw her standing there is a 4 chord song
Alexander Vickers I saw her standing there is also from very early in the Beatles career. Literally if you were to listen to all albums with the tracks in the order that they appear on the album in order, I Saw Her Standing There would be the very first song
HERR_FUCHS NEWS and it’s still better than any Lady Gaga song
@@endi3386 literally their first song with EMI
Great album... wonderful skills
I love The Beatles
Half a decade and still popular! Quite the fan base, reach out
In a day in a life there’s no mellotron thank you 🙏🏼
It's also not the first album after they ended touring. It was the second.
It was the first, their final tour was right after revolver
Pet sounds came first and was the main inspiration for sgt pepper
Rubber soul inspired pet sounds
A DAY IN THE LIFE CRESCENDOS WAS A LIVE ORCHESTRA
That fact is well documented. It's 100% NOT a mellotron. When they get such an easily researchable fact wrong it makes you question everything else they state as fact.
I remember buying it, cost 30bob £1'50 in modern money lol
hot presentator
listen to SWANS
In the book Mammoth Books of The Beatles from 2009, Sean Egan writes: “…the album (Sgt Pepper) has fallen down the esteem scale in recent years, both as a piece of art and as part of The Beatles oeuvre”.
As I see it because there are too many McCartney-compositions. They cannot age.
In the praised film about The Beatles Eight Days A Week by Ron Howard from 2016, Lennon´s songs are dominating: Please Please Me, You Can´t Do That, A Hard Day´s Night, If I Fell, Help, Ticket to Ride, It´s Only Love, Day Tripper, I´m A Looser, Girl, Norwegian Wood, Nowhere Man, I´m Only Sleeping, Tomorrow Never Knows, Don´t Let Me Down.
When they took up the recording of Sgt Pepper, they played Strawberry Fields Forever, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds and A Day In The Life, no other songs from that album,but at the same time there is a big picture of McCartney. A very common typical situation. Formerly very often.
The album A Hard Day´s Night is far mor innovative and powerfu,l despite the lack of strings, trumpets and so on. It has an increasing popularity opposed to Pepper.
This guy knocks Pepper and McCartney on every video. Give it a rest dude
imandan 1966. Sorry if I am too nagging. Beatles is Music History. It´s anxious to write correct history. But McCartney has always got too much credit.
Come off it. Everyone who knows anything about rock music understands the importantance of Pepper. A Hard Day's Night is just another pop, fan pleasing album with amazing tracks. However, there is little innovation and little concept and to even consider it close to Pepper is simply not true.
I love both albums dearly but one is just another album for the fans and one is revolutionary and much more intricate and beautiful.
Lennon and McCartney both wrote timeless classics, and although A Hard Day's Night sees Lennon at his pop-best, Sgt. Pepper shows the true genius and timelessness of Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison's craft.
To Eric Olvera.
Please tell me the innovations with Pepper, apart from the strings and trumpets, and apart from the cover picture with McCartney in the middle.
Tell me the m u s i c a l innovations.
The album A Hard Day´s Night .
In 10 of the 13 songs, Lennon was the dominant composer. (George Martin and McCartney seldom talked/talks about this album, because Martin wasn´t so influential here, he had no string arrangement, and because McCartney didn´t write so many songs here).
The m e l o d i e s in A Hard Day´s Night are innovative:
--The title song has glissando like arabian folk music?,
--The middle part in I Should Have Known Better has an increasing tension - with two changes of key - instead of the tension only in the A-bits, and with a change from short notes in the verse to long notes in the middle part. That increasing tension was the new thing! -- with The Beatles in the beginning.
--The intro to If I Fell has three changes of key! and the rest sounds like a madrigal from 15th century,
--I´m Happy Just To Dance With You is like a mix of Irwing Berlin and Lennon. The typical Lennon bit in the song is the hammering on the same note, and the joke with the repeating of singing “…just to dance with you…”in a minor key,
--and in When I Get Home, Lennon changes the melody only by changing the rythm in the same note!
Lennon was a pure genius, one of the greatest ever.
Johan Cavalli, Don't believe what a liberal democ(rat) says! Just like cnn, is fake news!
what the heck lady gaga ok skip
This album sucks.
And you probably listen to Billie elish and all this crap
@@pettystuffbyleo1258 I’m a Velvet Underground guy.
This album idea was John Lennon listen to his music and compare to paul music clear is the difference, paul is about romance,John was more psyched concept
Pablo Mora you couldnt be more wrong. Sgt pepper was 100% Paul. Learn some beatles history dude
Just shut up.
Pepper is overrated. It begins and ends very well, but there is way too much filler in the middle to warrant repeated listening.
The arguments about its greatness are generally focused on the concept, cultural influence and advanced production techniques that went into creating it. Very few people claim it's the greatest collection of songs ever, in that respect I wouldn't even consider it to be among the band's top 4 albums. Although it would have been much stronger if Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane had been included as intended.
How the best album ever overrated?
@@johnnymoondogs1816 it actually is overrated very very overratee but don't worry it's still one of the greatest albums ever created
