Well, Sgt Pepper was The Beatles attempt to do a 12X5 and Pet Sounds. So in all fairness if you going to say that you have to say "... Majesties Request for example was no more than their attempt at recreating Sgt.Pepper... which was no more than their attempt at recreating 12X5, & Pet Sounds."

And the Stones weren't the only one who riffed on the Sgt Pepper album, so did Frank Zappa with "Were Only In It For The Money."
