How can an album with the Memphis Horns and most of Booker T & the MGs fail? Well, here's the proof. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But overall bar a decent track or two its warbling pish. Sgt Pepper's lonley hearts club band. Not a bad opening, upbeat and promising. Fucking help of my friends, f**k off Ringo you wanky dick. No c**t likes you. Lucy in the sky has a decent chorus and thats it. Getting better, naw it isnae Fixing a hole, sounds like an advert for friendly bacteria Yakult Shes Leaving home. No wonder Paul, you warbling p***k Mr Kite. Just f**k off John George Harrison Sitar song. George Harrison Sitar song When I'm sixty Four. Nothing says I buy the Daily Mail like this song Lovely Rita. Not a bad song. Good beat despite the Ringo handicap Good Morning. It has cats and dogs and Elephant noises on it and foxhunting. Reprise. Again a decent wee song A day in the Life. One of the best songs of the sixties. So 2 good songs and one great one. This is regarded as a classic. f**k off. Pepper isn't The Fabs' best album, but it's still a great record. The title track and its reprise are ok. With a Little Help from my Friends is a great tune - very melodic, and I love Ringo. Lucy in the Sky, Getting Better, and Fixing a Hole are drug-fuelled psychedelic classics, imo. She's Leaving Home is great - Mike Leander's string arrangement is brilliant. Never been a huge fan of Mr Kite, tbh, but it has strong melodies, and an inventive production. George's tune is brilliant - a great mix of Eastern and Western musicians combining - the strings in the call-and-response instrumental middle section are stunning. When I'm 64 is a great wee song that harks back to music hall song writing, although it has a relatively week middle eight, imo. Lovely Rita is ok - the outro is trippy as f**k. Good Morning is ok - bits of it are in 5/4, and the guitar solo is stunning. A Day in the Life is sublime - Ringo's fills are perfect. It's become fashionable to knock Pepper, but it's a great bunch of songs on the whole, with brilliant innovative production techniques for the time - great harmonies, some terrific guitar parts and sounds, and some of McCartney's best basslines. The main thing about it, though, as you say, is that it was a game-changer. Interesting that no singles were culled from Pepper. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Watched The Bootleg Beatles do that album a couple of years ago in Portmeirion with an orchestra, and it was good fun. Much like a lot of The Beatles' stuff, I quite like most of it without really loving it, but I'm a HUGE fan of "She's Leaving Home". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockMusic Posted March 29, 2019 Author Share Posted March 29, 2019 How could I forget: Paul Simon's Graceland is one of the most serious pieces of pretentious gash ever put to record. Compare that pile of dung to what he did in the 60s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a spectacularly bad record, only got airplay due to the use of African musicians, who were popular at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
