I`ve always considered "Revolver" as superior to "Sgt Pepper".
Granted, Pepper took rock in a new direction, but the songs and musicianship on the earlier album are superior imo.
And Brian Wilson claimed "Revolver" inspired him to produce "Pet Sounds".
All are great albums, btw.

Yeh it might be slightly better than Pepper, though sometimes I like the colourfulness of that album. And yes all those albums are great. I think Abbey Road may be the most consistent album by The Beatles though.

I was about to say that, too.

Good song, though, Blind Blake is always awesome. Has great fills.

But yeah. Not "The House Of The Rising Sun" we're talkin' bout here.

I think that it's beyond dispute Sgt.Pepper is the most significant and infuential album ever made but that doesn't mean it's the greatest and I think we have to ask questions about an album with WI64 on it as thegreatest album ever made.
Is there a difference between an album being the greatest and being the most significant and influential?
What's everyone else think?

I just worked out you are referring to When I'm 64, which I think is a nice song with a nice somber contrast in the middle section. The arrangement is nice and it has it's place on the album.

There is no one greatest or most influential album and anyone who makes huge claims for some album as being that is likely to get some ridicule.

Of albums I have listened to I'd probably go with Ziggy. Led Zep's IV album seems pretty influential too, in the hard rock and metal scenes.
