Ah, spot on for catching my rather blatant mistake. Even if Abbey Road did come after S.F. Sorrow, it still has a very Beatle-like feel to it. To me, Phil May's voice often sounds a tad bit like John Lennon, and the guitar effects and background instrumentals remind me of that signature Beatles style.
And yes, I know that Jagger and Richards were both in the band in the beginning. Perhaps one reason why they are disliked by some is because they threatened to "out stone" the Stones? If this album is any indication of how their other work might be (I haven't heard anything else), then I might just like prefer guys more than the Stones themselves. I've never been fully able to get into the Stones music, though I do enjoy alot of their songs. I don't really get what all the hype is around them... But anyway, what's there not to like about Tommy? I thought it was a great new direction for the Who. I now see the influence that S.F. Sorrow had on it, but I wouldn't consider it a knock-off or anything...

All I know the Beatles started recording Sgt Pepper in Nov of 1966 and "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Penny Lane" were released in Feb of 1967. Songs like "A Day in the Life" and 'Sgt Pepper" were already recorded before Pink Floyd even finished recording their first single "Arnold Layne". I remember reading that S.F. Sorrow was recorded when the Beatles were finishing of the last songs of Pepper. What does it matter anyway they all influenced each other?
