Something I noticed tonight

Originally published at a denizen's entertainment. You can comment here or there.

Among Beatles albums I:

1) Consider Sgt. Pepper overrated

2) Talk up Revolver whenever I listen to it or think of it

3) In practice I seem to consider the two albums about equally good in practice

So, that's odd, especially they seem to be two of the three which get almost automatic consideration for the top spot in "greatest albums of all time" lists. I think I feel like Sgt. Pepper gets a lot more cultural reference than Revolver, is more a subject of default acclaim. So I get inclined to say it is not as great as people say, even though I find it pretty wonderful.

Standing behind that response, yes. Overrated, but seriously awesome.

'Pepper' is fun, but it has to be the white album for me every time :o)

Revolver is definitely my favourite. The white album has its high points, but I find it far too uneven.
