why do people like this album so much

I mean it's nice and "good" but nowhere near as good as it's hyped up to be.
You haven't really heard this album until you've heard it in MONO!
>>60470871
listen to it louder :^)
Abbey Road is better
>>60470892
abbey road's even worse though
not even as interesting harmonically or studio-doohickery-wise it's just some nice cheesy songs
>>60470583

>>60470914
Not interesting harmonically how? Sun King and because are great
Rocky racoon is the best beatles song imho senpai
>>60471114
your opinion is wrong
>>60470892
>>60470914
Abbey Road is a fine example of a band trying to keep their shit together while dealing with internal struggles that would eventually break up a band. Side one is more coherent than side two, but I like how all the incomplete songs on side two segue into one another and mix together nicely. That being said, nothing beats Revolver, though.

It is though. I love Revolver, but the psychedlia wore off, get over it. Abbey Road is way more contemporary sounding and way better to listen to on acid, trust me, ive gone through their whole catalouge high, and abbey road is the best

nope. Abbey Road is a good suite following a series of failed solo recordings.
>>60471146
You know they planned Abbey Road as their last album? They had already gotten over each other's shit and mutually agreed to put out a final album. That's why it ends with the medley and "The End". Let It Be kinda screwed up that legacy, though. Even though I like Let It Be as well.
Music is the most subjective art form. You like what you like, you don't like what you don't like. It is such an infant move to shit on music and say "Dunno why anyone likes this!" Don't listen to it motherfucker.
When someone critiques music with an educated ear and states their tastes I can respect that. Simpleton fucks who trash what they don't dig (or most likely understand) reeks of bait...you wanted a rise out of someone, mission accomplished prick.
I am not a big fan of EDM, pop country, boy bands, Broadway show tunes...so guess what? Don't really listen to them. Instead Inlisten to what I find musically and sonically appealing. Most real musicians and/or music lovers also investigate prior to dismissal. I will listen to anything once, and I have discovered tons of great music that I love and have moved me by doing so.
Lastly, Sgt. Pepper is put over so much because it deserves to be. Although Revolver is considered the superior album, Pepper inspired so many bands to take chances and use the studio creatively...it still, and always will, influence musicians making music commercially. Some oud player from an isolated village or a satanic death metal act may not be affected by its wake but those who write songs, record them in a studio and hope to have the public hear it are walking in Peppers footsteps.

>>60472346
True
>>60471711

Its good because, in general, the beatles wrote every song (less in the later years) having in mind that it could be a single. The shit Harrison indian fetish song pisses me off though

Sgt. Peppers has always been considered the superior album by the majority.

Let It Be was recorded before Abbey Road, putting The End as the last beatle track recorded
>>60470583
Because it's the pinnacle of the Beatles' discography. It has songwriting on par with A Hard Day's Night but a much broader stylistic palette and more interesting arrangements with a wide variety of instrumentation. It's their only truly great album.
>>60472624
She's Leaving Home is the best Beatles song

le pet sounds XDDDD
Tbh revolver always felt really uninteresting, same with abbey road. Sgt. peppers and white album were always my personal favorites just because they were just generally more diverse sounding. Sure they had some lame songs but the albums in general are more fun than abbey and revolver
i have a lot of respect for the beatles but i really dislike sgt. peppers. the album is filled with songs that have been drilled into my head practically since birth from my family, tv commercials, radios in public, shit like that, and i'm sick of it. it's a cheesy album and i don't know why people like it so much. i'd rather just listen to rubber soul or magical mystery tour or something.
I Want You (She's So Heavy) is the best Beatles song and one of the best songs of the 60's desu.
Sgt. Pepper's is indescribably, incomparably, revolutionarily important. If you treat music as a component of industrial/leisure Western society, you can really enrich your relationship with it by researching the world it came from and commented on. With Pepper you're talking about the most famous people on the planet reaching a breaking point, having been stalled an pacified and "tolerated" by their record company on the previous two records. It's the beginning of the end and the end of the beginning of pop music.
>>60471316
This is the best bait I've seen in months.
>>60472191
Actually, they recorded AR last, LIB came out later because of delays during the post production and the whole "wall of sound" thing.
But I agree, kinda of screws up the chronology, The End was a nice goodbye song, great way to end a band.

The End is actually the last song on the album, Her Majesty is a hidden track, doesn't count.
It's like a wink while they're fading away.
How many years has mu been arguing about the Beatles? Have you not figured out that your opinions are never swayed either way?

dunno mate
That's not the white album
Sgt. Pepper was the first album I ever owned on CD, over the course of a year I had all the rest of their albums too. I lived off that shit for so long, supplemented with the occasional Jethro Tull, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd (bought a box set with all their shit as well), Led Zeppilin, The Who, Rush, basically a bunch of dadrock shit.
after a while I found out about Nirvana, Daft Punk, Gorillaz, and the world opened up a little bit. Then I got on the internet, and for a year or two things opened up even wider. Then finally I came here, and shit got out of control. Meme-rap, avant-garde, lo-fi, grindcore, math rock, noise, power electronics, industrial, shoegaze, jazz and jazz fusion, the list goes on and on and on.
Then, about a month ago, I started listening to The Beatles again, and was surprised at A. how much I enjoyed their early, simple "pop" stuff, how visceral and crazy it could get sometimes, and B. how far they had managed to progress into experimental shit in less than 10 years. Starting with Revolver but not really starting until Magical Mystery Tour or The White Album, they had some legitimately interesting and progressive experimentation and the song-writing to back it up.
Basically, don't write off the Beatles. I know you hate dealing with genuine emotions, but put aside the stupid jokes and the frivolous b8ing and actually listen to music with an open mind. You'll probably agree with me. fuck Scaruffi.

>The Beatles are nothing more than the 1D of their time
at their beginning they were.
>>60479587
It's almost like people discover things at different times or something.
>>60480306
Not really. They were a band that formed themselves, wrote their own songs and played rock music, they weren't a created product. That's not a boy band. The Monkees would be a better comparison to 1D, who were a created product.
>>60480334

I grew up in a household that didn't encourage pop culture so I didn't know about The Beatles until I was a teenager and some friend (who was in her 30's I think) showed me Strawberry Fields Forever and Hey Jude...and until I was an adult and sought out more, those were the only Beatles songs I knew

There's no point, just clean your fucking ears and listen to the album again.
While I prefer Pet Sounds as the "60's conceptual pop masterpiece", there is no denying the Beatles sound better than most bands of that time and even of today.

>>60481050
Holy shit. This used to be my least favorite song on the album back when I was getting into the beatles when I was 15. Haven't listened to this album since then and since I've gotten into more experimental music (The Beatles really opened the gates to music as a whole for me.) How the fuck did I think When I'm Sixty Four was better than this?
>>60481140
>Not how it works
I mean... it's music, you have to listen to it in order to understand where i'm coming from. I don't want to go into an argument because it wouldn't make any sense, people like you are often pretty autistic to get the emotional resonance their melodies can convey.

Actually, Her Majesty is actually listed as the last song on early pressings of the album.
>>60471114

Everyone who replies 'no' to that question is probably an idiot.
>Then your opinion is not relevant
Nothing discussed here is relevant, the popular consensus in the music world considers this as one of the greatest albums of all time, it has been that way for decades, and it will continue to be that way. I have particular reasons for linking this album that very few times are mentioned even with the absurdly high praise it gets, but I'll probably take the time to explain that on another ocasion with a more worthy individual.

Also, should I remind you that you also haven't said anything AT ALL regarding the content of the album itself. It seems to me that comment fits you better than me.

To be honest I don't care, you started the shitposting here >>60470868 therefore it was your responsability to back up your lazy statement of false objectivity. All I did was point that out, you basically owe me an explanaition to back up your opinion before I give you mine, and if what you have to say is so "valid" to begin with, I don't know why you're avoiding an actual argument.
>>60482438

Well you don't want a musical discussion, so it's been nice talking to you.

Again, the one that should start the discussion here is you, but you didn't, and by the way you're speaking, the whole "valid opinions" and "self esteem" thing is making me feel 99% certain that you're either a contrarian underage or a really dumb person, which is worse, so even if said music discussion was going to take place (something that is blocked by statements of neutrality like the one you're defending), people like you nearly never bring anything interesting or new to the table, so why bother?
>>60482785
>Again, the one that should start the discussion here is you
I wasn't that anon. It's not my responsibility. You should be asking him, no?
If ad hominems is all you can muster, then have a good day. Maybe someday you'll be able to discuss music.
