TBH I still find Sgt Pepper too cheesy, and it's weathered time poorly. DSOTM hasn't dated (IMO).

For me, DSOTM hasn't so much dated as become wallpaper. Thanks so much, classic rock radio.

Dark Side has better guitar solos. Pepper has better bass playing.

That's tough. I really love "Echoes" but everything else on that album is kind of meh. On the other hand there is so much good stuff on Revolver.

You can't ask which is best. You can ask which is better, but best requires at least three.

I'm also of the Revolver and Meddle (or maybe even Wish You Were here) camp.

Never cared for DSOTM that much; didn't like the sax or the female singing.
Sgt Pepper makes me happy

They were both landmark albums because of their production techniques, better or best doesnt factor in imo. They both were significant to the art form we share here

Pepper makes me happy, too, especially since I substituted When I'm 64 with Strawberry Fields/Penny Lane. The 2017 remixes. Probably the best of Giles' remixes so far.
DSotM, I think, is Floyd at their apex. Any Colour You Like tends to bore me, now. I think Gilmour said that this around the time their group cohesiveness started to break down. They'd already done an album difficult to supercede.
And Roger going full-on misanthrope…sheep, dogs, pigs…

Has its moments. Heard it first on lyserge. I remember my head feeling like it was melting into the wall with Astronome Domine....

Always sounded to me like early Floyd stuff was way too influenced by mind bending drugs. Not in a good way. Maybe after Barret fried his noggin they stopped overdoing it and were able to produce proper music. Beatles were the other way around. Started off with proper music (often a bit cheesy admittedly) but then went on to fry their noggins and forget how to make music. I mean...Yellow Submarine. Really? Straight out of the playground...

to me the Beatles where always the top commerce boy band.
disgusting

Shows what you know about RnR history. See them in their early days, wired on speed and beer, with Lennon coming out on stage in his underwear with a toilet seat around his neck. Boy Band? Hahahahaha…

greententacle · Post by **greententacle** » Sat Mar 19, 2022 11:25 pm

so they where proletarians before the boyband.
even more disgusting

Sgt. Pepper vs Dark Side?
