Sgt.Pepper [40 years on]

[Jonone]

Agree with you Rasputin. Recording technology gives musicians too much choice in terms of overdubs etc. Of course it was good for the Beatles because they had exquisite taste and also had ... ideas, but generally why would you need more than say 32 tracks? It encourages musicians to be disciplined, and if you listen to a lot of 60s stuff be it Beatles, Motown, Stax etc the space between the instruments in the mix is as impressive as the playing in its way .. awesome stuff.

Welcome back warren!!

[Pervert]

I'll second that welcome back.

On Pepper, though, not only is it not the best Beatles album, it wasn't the best album released that year. But what I think doesn't matter. Anyone uses the words "classic" and "album" in the same sentence, and most people think of that one.

[Pervert]

That should be "Now that Warren's back" or "Now that's Warren back"
