No. At least half of it is overly experimental guff which really hasn't stood the test of time.

>most influential
What makes you think it is any more influential than the any of the important works that preceded it e.g. the music of Billie Holliday, Louis Armstrong, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly etc.? That's just not something you can quantify.

It showed everyone how big the production of an album could be, elevating the format. But this was bound to happen and gain traction eventually. Beatles just did it first while they were the biggest band on the planet. From a musical standpoint, this album isn't as influential as many other works from its time.

Also it's a 7/10 at best

this. i am all for people having their own preferences but i strongly believe that from a purely musical standpoint this album is nowhere near the best of '67, let alone ever, and that the enormous commercial apparatus surrounding the beatles has seriously clouded people's vision about their artistic merit. i'm not a scaruffi-level Beatlehater but come on, listen to some other psych rock/pop from the '60s and you'll see how average this stuff is.

A Day in the Life is pretty sweet tho.

y'all have shit taste desu
