I don't know what all the fuss about Sgt. Pepper's was all about anyway. The cover was pretty cool but the entire albums sounds like a collection of children's songs except for Within Without and A Day in Life both of which were fantastic songs. Compare Sgt. Peppers to Love's Forever Changes from the same year and song for song Love's album is far better and has a lot more ideas going on than the Beatles album.
I think the White album is the best Beatle's album by a long shot. The songs are darker and far more adult than anything they've ever written. There are 32 songs on the White album and 15 to 20 of the songs are classics. Had the White album been edited down to one album it could have been a perfect album, but the Beatles chose to leave a dozen or so not brilliant songs which probably should have been saved for a future Beatle's outtake album instead of left on the ablum.
