The Beatles are the most over rated band ever, a good boy band, but nothing more. But if the Beatles are the most over rated band ever then Sgt pepper joins them as the most over rated album ever.
Not only at the same time but also in the same building as when the Beatles were working on Sgt Pepper, S.F. Sorrow and Piper at the Gates of Dawn we being created. Now those are two truly revolutionary albums of the 60's.
