Yes, tread lightly, please. Two things I would refute in your post:-
i) no-one is obliging anyone to over analyse anything. The approach I would encourage is to listen and decide for yourself if you like it or not.
ii) rock really became rock before Sgt. Pepper, not after.

If it's your opinion, go ahead and call Sgt. Pepper "subpar crap" but to call the Beatles "drugged up Brits" is a cheap way to belittle an extraordinarily talented band, and on what basis? Because they are British and because they took drugs. As I understand it, some American musicians have taken drugs too, but I've never heard anyone on MB dismissing "drugged up Yanks".
