The Beatles-Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band
Interesting that the song "When I'm 64" seems odd to us now. 64 is hardly old, in fact it's not even retirement age. When you listen to the song you get the feeling that 64 means senility and dementia have already set in and you have no time left in your life. Welcome to the glorious age of 2017.
To some people this album isn't taken seriously. Why? I'm not sure. To me it's one of their better albums with songs that can really hit home. "She's Leaving Home" must be heartbreaking to parents who are going through drama with their kids. It's one of the more emotional songs they've written. Everyone knows that "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" is about LSD, even though I've heard rumors that Lennon never meant it to. It's a great song regardless of the meaning.
This isn't their best album, but it's still The Beatles. It's inherently good just because it's done by one of the greatest bands of all time.
