The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.

forever changes.

Red Krayola - Parable of Arable Land

>>73212009
Was 1967, dare I say, the best year in music?

Phil Ochs - Pleasures of the Harbor

>>73212009
The Doors

>>73212009
VU and Nico bby

>>73212009
VU&N if we're being honest. But Red Krayola deserves to be mentioned. Much more so than Forever Changes.
>>73212035
Going out of my way to say this is wrong. Admit that The Beatles weren't that good of songwriters and were only toe-deep in experimental music.

I agree that Sgt Pepper was the best album of 67. It's so easy 50 years after the fact to claim that it was overrated because we've grown up after the fact and have been exposed to so much that was inspired by this band, especially this album. It's revolutionary in that it came up with concepts like flanging and was a huge breach of what Beatle's fans at the time could have ever expected. Remember, this is the same band that wrote songs like I wanna hold your hand, and yesterday in the same decade.

Yeah but we're not judging it compared to the respective musicians previous work

>still in their reactionary 'beatles actually aren't good' phase, and their 'i don't listen to the music, but treat musicians and works as proxies to explore the social dynamics of my limited universe' phase

Nah this is a Pet Sounds rip off without any of the charm that Pet Sounds has. Predictable use of instrumentation, adequate song writing, this album is good but you're kidding yourself if you think that it can compete with something like TVU&N which was truly ahead of its time.
