It was 44 years ago that...


Parlaphone released the Beatles 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'.
What other albums can be considered having as much impact, actually altering the direction of a music genre?

Sure DSOTM set all kinds of Billboard Top 200 longevity records and sounds great, but I wouldn't say it altered a genre in any way. It's a slick Sgt. Pepper's style theme album and PF's total sellout effort. But no denying its success. Meddle marks their last art rock album. PF early adopters know the difference between grits and gravy. So here's a vote for Pink Floyd's Saucerful of Secrets, welcome to extended cut space rock.
