Why is "Sgt. Pepper" so overhyped?
  • the love generation enamored by technology

    At the time of its release, Sgt Peppers was the pinnacle of sound engineering and everyone was tantalized and fascinated by the richness of over-dubbing, orchestrations, sound effects, electronic filtering, etc, etc, etc. It foreshadowed the decline in interest for raw, unengineered rock music that was to be the 70s. I view sgt peppers as a negative influence in the history of rock music.
