Why is "Sgt. Pepper" so overhyped?
  • Please

    Wow, what a great "review" this was...as if you could call a few give and takes between two hacks to be a "review".

    And then there's this howler: the Stones have outsold the Beatles? Uh, not exactly. The Beatles have sold an estimated 500 million records worldwide, and counting. http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/technology/maney/2004-05-04-google_x.htm

    The Stones have sold an estimated 100 million records and counting.

    That took me about 10 seconds of basic Google searching.

    I also love "the Stones are not likable". What in the hell does that have to do with what the topic of this "debate" was supposed to be: namely, how does Sgt. Pepper stack up musically in retrospect? More importantly, what does that have to do with ANYTHING relating to music?

    You people voted for Hubert Humphrey...and you killed JESUS
