Bad assumption. We have fans here but the majority of us talk a little dookie on The Beatles.

can you give examples of chord progression that you like in songs on Sgt. Pepper and also try and justify the reason why it was so popular, when I regard it as one of my least favourite popular albums of that era.

Consider the time of its release and what the music world was like around it. It brought together psychedelic music and pop music in a way that was pretty much unparalleled at the time and brought psych even further into the public consciousness.
Musically I like it because it's catchy and nice. It's also composed with a really sound logic between how the lyrics and music progress. And the production sounds great to this day (probably because of how much The Beatles set the ground in the world of producing). There's lots of other reasons but I do think that it's overrated as **** can be and there's no need to force yourself to like it so long as you can understand the impact the album had.
