In theory, you could believe that an album is only marginally the best album ever, but it could be rated as far beyond anything else ever conceived. It would then be overrated. However, I don't think that much thought has gone into his statement :P

Well, a lot of people get crazy over Sgt. Pepper. I happen to really enjoy listening to the album but the way some people talk about it like it's some magical, god-like entity (I haven't seen that response on Music Banter). It's a very important, very good album, and I listen to it a ton, but there are some minor things that urk me about the album. Basically, some people I know treat it as a perfect album when in reality it's just a good album.

Its because its seen as the pinnacle achievement of the Beatles and like any album thats held in such high esteem, critics will always look for its flaws. Is it one of the best albums of all time? Most certainly, even if its just the second best album of 1967.

If you are interested in reading a review which does exactly that, allow Rolling Stone to elaborate:

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Really?

Four smilies?

I knew Rolling Stone was never a match for Janszoon!

There are so many pieces of unnecessary pomposity in there, I present you with a choice few:

Well thanks :). I'll see what I can do.

I, in general, don't like that kind of 'eighties rock'. Which is why I only play boat on the river, as it's so different from all the other Styx tracks I've heard. Or did I really miss out on something?

Well, I obviously prefer these old Ten Years After albums to FWM. It's just... Well I don't like pop music I guess. And the later Fleetwood mac is zo... poppy, so aimed to be loved by many. It's disturbing.

Great albums, but due to the status quo you will rarely see "music experts" change things up.

addendum:-

Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen - isn't really remarkable, except for the title track and Jungleland - much prefer Nebraska

Nebraska is definitely better and I consider it his "masterpiece". The Boss was always sounded better without the E Street Band.

I prefer the Springsteen live album 1975-85.

i've heard some songs from it - his cover of "Chimes of Freedom" is beyond horrible

No point worrying about what other people think, most people just jump on bandwagons to make up for not listening to so much music. These kind of lists are as much for those people as anything, to make them feel they can know the 'important' albums, even if the reality is they are barely skimming the surface of music.

I'm sure it's not a perfect album but I can just dip into it. His live sound can just sound more alive than in the studio at times.

Bruce Springsteen is fucking awful. Yes, I know, Nebraska is blah important blah but he's probably the most cringe-worthy artist on the list.
Anyway, this thread isn't about 'best of' lists or even this specific one. Urban's idea about what to do with it is a good one.
Let's all please stop talking about the frustrating banality of lists like this before I spit up on myself and have to spend more quarters at the laundromat.

His studio stuff can sound awful, though I've always liked Dancing in the Dark. :D

One album missing from the list here is the Miles Davis album 'Kind of Blue', the album that those who want to make out that they know jazz say is amazing even though it's probably the only jazz album they know and they have nothing to compare it to.

Anyway as far as the idea of when I listen to albums like these the answer is not very often. I like discovering new stuff (whether recent or old) so I spend most of my time doing that than hearing things I already know.

It's right there at nr. 12.

I listened to it a couple of days ago. I largely agree with you and think that any person who considers themselves interested in music (and not just a small fraction of it) needs to get this one because they should listen to something from Miles Davis and they should check out the world's best selling jazz album at some point to see what the fuzz is about. I also think it's a very good album, a natural recommendation and, hopefully, a gateway into (more) jazz for those who check it out.

Obviously I didn't look closely enough. :D I think there are a couple of good tracks, the rest sound average. Miles Davis was obviously a very good musician, but there is an awful lot more to jazz than just him or this album as well.

it's bollocks compared to On the Corner

People always say that A Kind of Blue leads people to listen to other jazz, but I wonder how true that actually is? How many people have it as their only or one of their few jazz albums, and maybe like it a bit but not hugely but will reassure themselves that it's a classic because of passed down 'wisdom' through the years.

my first Miles is actually Birth of The Cool intrigued to get his other stuff - i only got Kind of Blue 2 years ago, even though there was massive hype about it and i found the hype unjustified

I think Kind of Blue possesses a subtle beauty that I find hard to describe. The flowing, subtly shifting keys and melodies, the laidback delight of listening to it. Put it on, lean back, close your eyes and relax and it's just bliss. Every musician in that perfect line-up does a great job. I think it's a very nice change of pace compared to his hard boppers from earlier in the 50s.

Of course, if you don't like it, you don't and that's hard to argue with.

it's too much "easy listening" for me

i'm not surprised if it was primarily responsible for making jazz an accessible commodity and stuff like "soft jazz"

i mean i play modal jazz but i put in some caustic atonal notes here and there

Are you suggesting that this is what Miles should've done on Kind of Blue?

yes, some sort of challenge to the ears would be nice

which is why i like the "unlistenable" stuff he put out in the early 70s

I guess I should include mine in this thread being the threadstarter and all...

1. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles
My friends Dad was a massive Beatles fan and would listen to this in his van when he would take us places all the time. He died when I was in my early 20s so I guess the last time I heard this would have been in my mid - late teens in the early 90s.

2. Pet Sounds - The Beach Boys
Like 2 songs off this, bought this for next to nothing around 10 years ago so I guess that was the last time I ever played the whole thing.

3. Revolver - The Beatles
The only Beatles album I'll play by choice. I think the last time I heard it was when I included it in the Urban 100, so around 6 years ago.

4. Highway 61 Revisited - Bob Dylan
Bought it around 5 or 6 years ago, found it a bit boring, never played it again.

5. Rubber Soul - The Beatles
See Sgt Pepper

6. What's Going On - Marvin Gaye
I seem to remember about 3 or 4 years ago where we did this Mods review albums suggested by other Mods. R-T suggested this album so I listened to it then.

7. Exile on Main Street - The Rolling Stones
8. London Calling - The Clash
I have a thing about listening to double albums at work (Yesterday it was Tago Mago) and I listen to these two albums quite often, I would easily have listened to them sometime in the last 3 months.

9. Blonde on Blonde - Bob Dylan
According to Last FM I last played this album on 1st December 2006, which was a couple of days after I saw Primal Scream in London, I seem to remember buying this in Gatwick airport on the way home to make up the numbers in a buy 3 for the price of 2 thing they had going.

10. The Beatles ("The White Album") - The Beatles
Had this bought for me for my birthday, also for that birthday I received Radiohead's Amnesiac album when it had just came out so that should date it for you. Never played it the whole way through.

11. The Sun Sessions - Elvis Presley
Never heard it, wouldn't mind though.

12. Kind of Blue - Miles Davis
Downloaded a torrent of Miles Davis stuff around 5 years ago. Think I played this once around that time. Not really a jazz person but I prefer On The Corner & Bitches Brew.

13. Velvet Underground and Nico - The Velvet Underground
If I ever listen to The Velvet Underground it's without Nico, not heard the whole thing but the bits I have heard put me off.

14. Abbey Road - The Beatles
See Sgt Pepper

15. Are You Experienced? - The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Whenever I listen to Hendrix I usually put on Electric Ladyland, Axis Bold as Love, The BBC Sessions or a live album, I hardly listen to this album for some reason. The last time I would have heard this was when I was uploading it onto my hard drive when I first bought my computer (23rd Jun 2007 ... thanks again Last FM)

16. Blood on the Tracks - Bob Dylan
Bought it the same time as Blonde On Blonde (last listened 23 December 2006 - Last FM)

17. Nevermind - Nirvana
Mid 90s at least. didn't even listen to it when I included it in the Urban 100

18. Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen
Never

19. Astral Weeks - Van Morrison
Never, Will probably end up checking it out in the future.

20. Thriller - Michael Jackson
One of my best friends at school was a massive Jacko fan, in fact his whole fucking family were. When you went to their house as you walked through the front door you were greeted by a massive mirror with Jacko in his Billie Jean gear in such a pose that it looked like he had been impaled up the arse with a wooden stake and whenever I went around there he'd always listen to the Thriller album so much so I never felt the need to ever listen to it again. I'm guessing this would have been around 1988/89.

21. The Great Twenty-Eight - Chuck Berry
Never even heard of this album until today.

22. Plastic Ono Band - John Lennon
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA

Yeah **** off.

23. Innervisions - Stevie Wonder
I love love love love love this album.
In fact I listened to it at work yesterday

24. Live at the Apollo - James Brown
Owned 2 & 3 for years, only got around to getting the original very recently. Not had chance to hear it yet.

25. Rumours - Fleetwood Mac
Used to work with a woman who would play their greatest hits over and over and over and over and over again.
She never married.
I wonder why.

Oh Rumours?
Never heard it, never want to either.

26. The Joshua Tree - U2
Another friend at school, this one totally obsessed by U2, played this to death at his house when it came out and for the next subsequent 3 years. so last time I heard it would have been around 1990. Saw the same guy for the first time in 20 years at a rock festival in the summer. He was almost in tears at how awful they were at Glastonbury and how much of a parody of themselves they had become.

27. King of the Delta Blues Singers, Vol. 1 - Robert Johnson
Listened to the Complete Recordings around 5 or 6 years ago.

28. Who's Next - The Who
Never really liked this album much but it has a couple of decent songs on it. Like Are You Experienced I last heard it when I put it on my new computer in the summer of 2007.

29. Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin
If I want to listen to Led Zeppelin I'll put on LZIII or Presence. Hardly touch this one. I'm guessing sometime in the mid 90s was when I last heard this.

30. Blue - Joni Mitchell
The only time I'll ever listen to this is if some hot chick happens to have it on at the time I'm about to plough her.

I have a problem getting into the list mentality. Some if not most people are so eager to figure out which one out of a bunch is better and rank them according to usually very vague criteria. I like Miles Davis fusion experimentations on albums like In a Silent Way, Bitches Brew or A Tribute to Jack Johnson. But I also greatly appreciate Kind of Blue. Instead of focusing on which is better and instead of complaining about Kind of Blue not being edgy enough, why not just try and embrace all of it?

Some days I might be in the mood for Bitches Brew. Other days, I might prefer Kind of Blue. I don't feel a need to rank them and I appreciate that he made different sounding records.

i go through phases

first it was the "cool jazz" period

then his last few "hip-hop/electronica"

then his jazz-rock fusion

then his avant-garde

then his 3rd Quintet near-fusion

now i'm into his wah-wah'ed trumpet, raucous noise live period

never really liked his "modal jazz" period - i think Monk did a better job with "Brilliant Corners" for that kinda thing, even if it's not really "modal" in theory

That's kinda the thing though - it's an accessible Jazz album that's still very solid and true to the genre. It's hard to appreciate the crazier stuff until you have been initiated to the genre in general - it's like the way that you wouldn't necessarily recommend your favourite album by an artist to someone who hasn't listened to them before - you want to find the album that'll appeal to them the most to start off with, and let them ease themselves into it.

@Bob: I think not liking Bob Dylan isn't an uncommon point of view on this forum :P

^^yeah we Dylan fans are in the minority here

Il Duce > Miles Davis

Which is very practical if you want to introduce people to Jazz.
I like "Kind of blue" but I see your point.
I've always preferred Kenny Dorham's Quiet Kenny for that reason.
It's still a pleasure to listen to, not too hard on the ears, but it's a bit more challenging than Kind of Blue :).

Pick me, pick me!
Dylan fan very much.
Except for his religious 70s and 80's.

he only made 2 and a 1/2 religious albums (Christian) and 1 Judaistic song

the rest of the 70s and 80s Dylan aren't religious at all

1. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles 10 + years. Apart from A Day In The Life I don't like it much at all and I grew up with The Beatles.
2. Pet Sounds - The Beach Boys Only listened to it once. Did absolutely nothing for me.
3. Revolver - The Beatles About 5 years ago however Eleanor Rigby is a brilliant track.
4. Highway 61 Revisited - Bob Dylan I will get stick for this for this because I don't really like Dylan at all but I really like this album and have it on CD. I think it was a couple of months back.
5. Rubber Soul - The Beatles Probably 5 years + again. I know The Beatles so well that I don't actually listen to them all that much.
6. What's Going On - Marvin Gaye A couple of months back. Apart from the meandering middle section, it's a cracking album.
7. Exile on Main Street - The Rolling Stones Never heard it. Not much of a Stones fan at all.
8. London Calling - The Clash A couple of weeks back. Love it.
9. Blonde on Blonde - Bob Dylan probably around 5 years ago. Can't remember much about it.
10. The Beatles ("The White Album") - The Beatles Once and that was probably 10 years ago. It's hard work.
11. The Sun Sessions - Elvis Presley Cannot stand Elvis Presley.
12. Kind of Blue - Miles Davis Around a year ago. Sketches Of Spain and Arghata are far better.
13. Velvet Underground and Nico - The Velvet Underground Around 18 months ago. I really have to be in the mood for it but if I am then it's a damn good listen.
14. Abbey Road - The Beatles About a year. Their best album for me. I want You is absolute class.
15. Are You Experienced? - The Jimi Hendrix Experience At least once a month probably. Absolutely love this album.
16. Blood on the Tracks - Bob DylanOnce. Again can't remember much.
17. Nevermind - Nirvana bleach is far better. Probably 7 or 8 years, it's just sat on my CD shelf gathering dust but it has some great tunes.
18. Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen Once. Bored the **** out of me.
19. Astral Weeks - Van Morrison Around 18 months ago. Have to be in the mood.
20. Thriller - Michael Jackson Never.
21. The Great Twenty-Eight - Chuck BerryNever
22. Plastic Ono Band - John LennonNever
23. Innervisions - Stevie WonderAround 5 years ago. A very patchy album. One day I like it and another it annoys me.
24. Live at the Apollo - James Brown Never but I do like James Brown.
25. Rumours - Fleetwood Mac3 years ago maybe? Does what it says on the tin and has some great songs on it for sure. You Make Loving Fun is class.
26. The Joshua Tree - U2 4 tracks are superb - Bullet The Blue Sky, In God's Country, Exit and Mother Of The Disappeared, the rest annoys the hell out of me so at least 5 years.
27. King of the Delta Blues Singers, Vol. 1 - Robert Johnson Less than a year ago. When the mood takes me I will listen to this and Sun House and drench myself in classic blues.
28. Who's Next - The Who 3 years ago. Don't really like it all that much but then The Who don't do a huge amount for me anyhow.
29. Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin At least 10 years, some great songs on here but just not a big Zep fan but Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You and Dazed and Confused are superb.
30. Blue - Joni Mitchell Around 5 years ago. I much prefer Hejira, it's her masterpiece in my eyes.

1. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles :3 years ago

29. Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin :4 years ago
30. Blue - Joni Mitchell :Never

1. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles - Today - I can understand how it changed pop music but definitely over-rated and never been one of my favorites by The Beatles.

2. Pet Sounds - The Beach Boys- Yesterday - At first i thought it was another album praised by the critics that i wasn't going to see the beauty in. Well I was wrong every single song off it is amazing..definitely not for everyone though mostly for avid music listeners not "don't bore us straight to the chorus" listeners.

3. Revolver - The Beatles- Today

5. Rubber Soul - The Beatles- Today - The Beatles album that got me into the group. If it wasn't for this album we would've never got pet sounds, that's it.

6. What's Going On - Marvin Gaye- 5 Months Ago - I never been a big fan of Marvin Gaye or Motown but I must admit this album is a masterpiece.

7. Exile on Main Street - The Rolling Stones- Last Week - It took me a whole year to even get into this album but once i became a hardcore stones fan i learned to appreciate it and eventually I grew to love it..really important album in their catalog.

10. The Beatles ("The White Album") - The Beatles- Today - The album is so mismatched there are songs i love and songs i absolutely hate.

11. The Sun Sessions - Elvis Presley- Two Days Ago - He's the king of rock for a reason anyone that's not familiar with his work check this out.

14. Abbey Road - The Beatles- Has a special place in my heart.

17. Nevermind - Nirvana- 5 Years Ago - Good album by over-rated band.

20. Thriller - Michael Jackson- 2 Years Ago - Every song off this album is great definitely a special album for me as a child. *moonwalking*

28. Who's Next - The Who- 2 Months Ago - Not my favorite by the who but do love every song on this album...The Who Sell Out is better imo.

29. Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin- Last Month - As crazy as this is going to sound i like 4 Led Zeppelin albums more than this. Still a nice effort from one of the best groups to do it.

12. Kind of Blue - Miles Davis
13. Velvet Underground and Nico - The Velvet Underground
15. Are You Experienced? - The Jimi Hendrix Experience
17. Nevermind - Nirvana
20. Thriller - Michael Jackson
23. Innervisions - Stevie Wonder

These are the only albums from this list I've ever listened to. I've heard bits from other artists and have a few albums by others, but not these particular ones.

I'm really not interested in most proper rock or classic rock. At all. Since I was twelve or so I listened almost exclusively to music I found out about myself, so my listening habits are odd. That and having industrial and extreme metal being the basis of my musical knowledge and exposure kind of ****s up the whole classic rock thing.

1. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles
Maybe a year ago. I like it but it isnt one of my Beatles favourites.
2. Pet Sounds - The Beach Boys
Maybe a year and a half ago. I dont like it.
3. Revolver - The Beatles
Probably 6 months ago. I bought it on CD years ago on holiday in Florida and just recently bought it again on vinyl.
4. Highway 61 Revisited - Bob Dylan
Quite a long time ago. Maybe 2 years. I do like it but i havent listened to much Dylan in a while.
5. Rubber Soul - The Beatles
Again I'd say a year ago.
6. What's Going On - Marvin Gaye
Never.
7. Exile on Main Street - The Rolling Stones
Two to three years ago. I used to love it. I probably still would but it hasnt had a spin in a long time.
8. London Calling - The Clash
3 to 4 years ago. I like the debut but I never got away with this one.
9. Blonde on Blonde - Bob Dylan
Two to three years ago.
10. The Beatles ("The White Album") - The Beatles
Six months ago.
11. The Sun Sessions - Elvis Presley
Never.
12. Kind of Blue - Miles Davis
I'm listening to Bitches Brew right now, could be about a year or two for this one.
13. Velvet Underground and Nico - The Velvet Underground
Never. I've heard some kind of VU compilation I still have on CD but thats it.
14. Abbey Road - The Beatles
Couple of years ago.
15. Are You Experienced? - The Jimi Hendrix Experience
A few weeks ago.
16. Blood on the Tracks - Bob Dylan
Probably a year and a half. Used to be my favourite Dylan record.
17. Nevermind - Nirvana
I picked this up on CD maybe 3 months ago, as its one of those I never actually owned, despite having a CD-R since school. It could be four years or more since I actually listened to it though.
18. Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen
Never.
19. Astral Weeks - Van Morrison
Never.
20. Thriller - Michael Jackson
Not so long ago. A few months ago. Definitely went back to it a few times since he died.
21. The Great Twenty-Eight - Chuck Berry
I like Chuck Berry but never heard this. Just compilations, I think.
22. Plastic Ono Band - John Lennon
I think I listened to this once, maybe 5 years ago or more.
23. Innervisions - Stevie Wonder
Never.
24. Live at the Apollo - James Brown
Never.
25. Rumours - Fleetwood Mac
Never.
26. The Joshua Tree - U2
Years. I must have been in school. Could be 10 years.
27. King of the Delta Blues Singers, Vol. 1 - Robert Johnson
Three years, maybe. I wanted to like it but I couldnt get into it. Maybe time for another go.
28. Who's Next - The Who
Within the last year. It comes out every now and then still.
29. Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin
Within the last six months, id say.
30. Blue - Joni Mitchell
Within the last 18 months. I went through a Joni Mitchell phase but havent revisited in a while.
