Note, I had to edit per excerption requirements (300 words, counted).

Other artists/albums at the link. This was the main one worth reading. Others are a bit petty (people didn't like the bands to begin with).

Billy likes the Beatles. He doesn't like this album. Or what came in its wake (from the industry, not just 'The Beatles').

Billy Childish has released over 100 albums and a mind boggling number of singles. People may not like his recordings either, but at least he has a body of work from which he can speak.

St Pepper is the worst? They never heard Magical Mystery Tour?

[wideawake]

I agree that All Eyez On Me, Nevermind, Is This It?, Neon Bible, Marquee Moon, Sgt. Pepper, Arrival, Meat Is Murder and Trout Mask Replica are overrated.

However, Rubber Soul, Hatful of Hollow and Safe As Milk are excellent, excellent albums.

The negative review of The Velvet Underground And Nico is frankly brainless.

Who ever claimed Sgt Pepper was a “rock ‘n roll” album?

The Beatles didn’t.

[subterfuge]

They can say what they want, but the Peppers was a groundbreaking album at the time. Dwarfed by Abbey Road, but still groundbreaking. Childish could hold Pest Best’s jock.

Rock journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't talk for people who can't read.

Sgt Pepper must die! (overrated albums critiqued by different artists)

Well, they said that about John Barleycorn too.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

Paul McCartney is the dark one in the Beatles, not John Lennon, because he writes such depressing, scary music.

Honey Pie is many things, but depressing and scary? Only if one is being ironic.

[Hebrews 11:6]

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.
