That the Beatles abandoned any pretense of being a rock 'n roll band.

What sort of music do you listen to when you go boating, Don?

ROTFLMAO! Why do you think the Sgt. Peppers album was so important?

As little as possible. That's why I sail...to be one with nature.

Exactly like the commentator on Don's video observed, it marked the
point where the Beatles gave up on Rock n Roll and moved into
experimental pop.

I did not look at Don's video.

I guess great minds think alike.

BTW: You have it turned around.......they moved from pop to R&R with this
album..

(friendly retort.....)
You guys have an odd defintion of rock and roll back there.
Rock obviously meant something different on the west coast.

Ok, here's the acid test. (pun intended)

Which would you rather *dance* to.....

Roll Over Beethoven (Second Album), or Fixing a Hole (Sgt Pepper)?

Long Tall Sally (Second Album), or Lovely Rita Meter Maid (Sgt
Pepper)?
(that's dance, not march....Lovely Rita would make a better march)

Even the boring and simplist rhythm line of "She Loves You...(ya ya
ya)" from the second album beats heck out of "For the Benefit of Mr.
Kite" from Sgt Pepper- which is most absolutely a march by any
standard.


And the final arbiter, (big grin here), of course....how much does it
sound like the Rolling Stones? [Brown Sugar vs. A Day in the Life]
The Stones never forgot how to rock n roll. The Beatles grew bored
with rock, began taking themselves seriously as musicians, and Sgt
Pepper was a deliberate attempt to leave the "Beatle" era behind.

Actual rock groups from the era, in addition to the Rolling Stones, of
course, include very non-Beatly acts like Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Grace
Slick and the Jefferson Airplane, the Doors, etc. Even Bob Dylan
outrocked the Beatles, (on Hwy 61).

Try dancing to "Strawberry Fields Forever"..... :-)

What do you listen to on your boat?

I don't dance but if I did it would be to their early pop songs.

BTW: R&R started in Cleveland, not on the west coast. ;-)
