Good call.

Strip away all the ink spilled over this record, and the totally half-assed "concept," and what you have is a record dominated by mediocre to downright hateful Paul songs.

There's one masterpiece ("Day in the Life"). "Lucy in the Sky" is great, and...okay, I guess "Within You Without You" is pretty cool. The Beatles made at least 5 records that were better.

My own pick is "A Love Supreme." Totally overrated.

I agree with Mr. Food on the Floyd.

Total fucking crap from start to finish. Wankery.

Not saying you'll ever like it, but it took me YEARS to get this whole record.

The Song is Over, still bad.

And I always loved the first two and last two songs.

But the rest of it took about twenty years.

Sgt Pepper's is the first thing that comes to mind. I actively dislike most of it.


It is not out of the question. I'm a feeling man, I love "Won't Get Fooled Again".

Sgt Pepper's, though, I love almost all of it.

Yes.

And, all of the Doors and Eagles output.

This thread is putting knots in my stomach.

You all are crazy. My picks are solid, though.

Another one that bugs me is Bug by Dinosaur Jr.

I find that album to be grating.
