I honestly feel of these three 'Are You Experienced' is the only one that isn't massively overrated.

But on a side note:

Pet Sounds - Extremely interesting means to accomplish extremely generic music... I'm not the biggest Beatles-o-phile, but I always felt that Pet Sounds sounds extremely weak in comparison to Sgt. Pepper, White Album, and Abbey Road.

I honestly think all albums above mentioned also profit off of the Rock Myth. I mean, I think what a lot of Jazz musicians like Mingus, Coltrane, Sun Ra, Ornette Coleman, and Cecil Tailor were doing a lot more in moving music into more complex, and abstract directions at the time.

Al Pacino = God
