The influence of sgt. Pepper"s lonely hearts cub band ? - SteveO - 17-06-2013
Nice comment, J ! Other than the George Martin Effect, these guys could write great songs and play kickass rock !!!!! IMHO ! They had consistency, churning out one classic song after another...who else did that ???? I don't want to belabour the point, but songs like - In My Life, She's Leaving Home, Yesterday, A Day in a Life, Blackbird, Hey Jude, Let It Be, For No One, Eleanor Rigby,...represent a classic song that will last in the future decades. I don't think the repertoire of The Stones for example and the other major bands will endure the ages ! The Beatle influence is global and everyone knows a good Beatle tune at a kitchen party or at a beach bonfire !
There's a 10 year gap in our ages....I was 11 when the Fab Four emerged..so you were a year old ! ....You love Oldfield, Vangelis and Jarre the way I love the Beatles ! We both have excellent taste in music and you actually make it !!!!
Jerome Wrote:Just going to add my sixpence too. I am sure hearing Sgt Pepper's way back when must have had some influence on me but it's not an album I enjoy - or own. In fact I do not own a single Beatles album (yes you can shoot me in the morning folks). And I am not a Stones fan either, although I do like individual tracks by both bands. I don't think that statement about the synthesizer is right, as they had been around for decades before then. All the other info seems spot on though. One thing I will say is that as a producer George Martin was the perfect guy for the band. I have a number of books where his work is mentioned and a large part of what made up the Beatles more ambitious projects was down to his innovation.

The Flaming Lips are doing a re-imagining of Sgt. Peppers as a benefit album, with a host of current artists. Here's more on that: http://www.music-news.com/ShowNews.asp?nItemID=83241
