I just got a cheap LP of the Ramsey Lewis Trio covering about half of the White Album.
Honey Pie isn't on it. Neither is Paul's Helter Skelter.

Classic lyrics along with “yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dogs eye”. Drugs did so much for their talent. :(

Sad how many young people would say “wha...?” to that reference. Then again sad how many young people would say “wha...?” when asked just about anything.

Perhaps someone can tell me, a huge Beach Boys fan, what was so allegedly great that everyone seems to have found in their Pet Sounds album. Aside from a couple of songs, it sounds numbingly similar and boring to me.

I love Pet Sounds. The arrangements are rich and full, the melodies are beautiful, the harmonies are exquisite, and the lyrics are, well, OK, written by an ad guy. It marks the last time Brian Wilson was in full control of his faculties in the studio.
Besides, how many albums can claim a bass harmonica/banjo solo?

Who ever claimed Sgt Pepper was a “rock ‘n roll” album?
Exactly. And, one must be aware that there is a significant difference between Rock n’ Roll and Rock and Roll.
I prefer the former, but no one does it good anymore. Last group I heard do Rock n’ Roll well were the Stray Cats. But then, I’m a child of the 50’s...

Thanks for the explanation. I remain far from convinced, but based on your recommendation I will probably try it once more.

They can say what they want, but the Peppers was a groundbreaking album at the time. Maybe, but as pop, not rock.
