This Lp is iconic, one of the landmark recordings in the history of popular culture. This was the game changer when pop music was suddenly looked at as an art form. Imagine being a teen in the US when this record dropped here in early June, 1967. This record kicked off the "Summer Of Love" here in the US.
Hippie culture literally exploded with the release of this record and this album was the soundtrack of that summer. Here's the deal young lady. The proper way too listen to The Beatles is chronologically from 1963 with their first Lp "Please Please Me" up through 1969 with "Abbey Road" which you've done too truly appreciate the growth of this band in just 7 years. No band has ever even come close to what they accomplished even through today and I promise you that it will never happen again and you can take that to the bank. I would love too see you check out "Help" released in August of 1965. This was the quintessential pop record of that year up to that point. This was when their music began to mature from the previous year. Catchy song after catchy song and then please, please "Rubber Soul" released just 4 months later on December 2, 1965. Lennon called this one the pot album and is kind of a must. Next "Revolver" released on August 6th, 1966 and is absolutely iconic and was their first marijuana and LSD record. Many critics feel that Pepper is the greatest Lp of all time while many others say "Revolver" I tend to lean towards "Revolver". Now, if "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Penny Lane" we're on "Pepper" like they were supposed too be then I would lean toward "Pepper". These two songs released as a single in early 67 as a double A Side is still regarded as the greatest single in history. Are you beginning too see a theme here, "Pepper's" the greatest Lp ever, no it's "Revolver" is and these two songs are the greatest single in history. Pretty heady stuff, wouldn't you agree? In your lifetime you will never see another Beatles. They were and still are simply one offs and not gonna happen again. They are that damn special ! Hope too see these down the road, you would really enjoy these records and you do a great job on your reactions. ☮️✌️💕👌

Yep, you're probably ready for "The White Album" now. One of the most wonderful, eclectic, fantastic collections of music ever! From the straight rocking "Back in The USSR" "Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey" and "Revolution" to the quirky "Rocky Raccoon" and "Bungalow Bill" to the hard driving chaos of "Helter Skelter" to the oddities of "Piggies" and "Why Don't We Do It In The Road" to the beautiful tenderness of "I Will" and "Julia". Yes, it's all here and why I'm never far from this fabulous album!

Fun reaction... I enjoyed it. Something that is hard for a modern first-time listener to realize is just how ground-breaking "Sgt. Pepper's" was. The Beatles were the top entertainment act in the world at the time, but the group had gone quiet for months. Then Sgt. Pepper's dropped and everyone played it at once. It didn't sound like any other pop music at the time. The level of experimentation that the Beatles did (while still keeping it melodic and telling stories) was just shocking. A song that sounds like a circus? You get high with a little help from your friends? Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds??? When I'm 64??? (Our grandparents were 64, and the Beatles got us to think about what it would be like to be our grandparents' age.) And "A Day in the Life" with its detached vocals and menacing orchestra -- there was nothing else that sounded like it. The entire world of popular music pivoted around this album... this album is why people say, "there was pop music before the Beatles, and there was pop music after the Beatles." Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is the point where "pre-Beatles" became "post-Beatles."
Listening to today's music, you hear all kinds of sounds and song structures, which makes the Beatles sound interesting but not astonishing. But it was the Beatles who made experimenting with sounds and structures a popular thing in pop music -- it just wasn't done before. That is the legacy of the Beatles. Well... one of the legacies, anyway.

Great reaction, Bruna! I thought you did a very nice job with your analysis and you may count me as a fan of your reactions! The Beatles had many more LP's and there are many more iconic groups after that who also put out great albums, so I hope you will continue on this journey for some time yet to come!! Keep up the great work!

Great reaction to a great album. A little triva for you which is rather spooky. In 1963 on a British TV show called Ready Steady Go, there was a miming and dance competition to a song called Jump The Broomstick won by a 14 year old Melanie Coe. The judge who chose her and presented the prize was none other than Paul McCartney! She's the very same Melanie Coe that She's Leaving Home is about!!

I think saying A Day In The Life is considered by many as one of the best songs by The Beatles sells it short. I think it's considered by many as one of the best songs by anybody ever
