Although I have yet to hear the rest of The Beatles' discography 'Sgt. Pepper's...' is a big contender for my favourite Beatles album. I loved every song on this album, even the ones I hadn't heard previously. The album cover is iconic and prompted many conspiracy theorists to suggest that Paul McCartney was dead and replaced with a doppelganger (which is clearly ridiculous but the documentaries made on it are spooky nonetheless). I loved the change in style of the music on this album, it is more psychedelic and experimental and was one of the first times The Beatles incorporated Indian music into their songs with the George Harrison written song "Within You Without You". This album is hit after hit and I recommend it to everyone who loves great music. Shockingly when the album was released in some asian countries the songs "A Day In The Life", "With A Little Help From My Friends" and "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" were excluded for drug references, that's such a shame because they are some of the best songs on the album. I wholeheartedly give this brilliant album 5/5.
Tracks I enjoyed the most: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, With A Little Help From My Friends, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, Getting Better, She's Leaving Home, When I'm Sixty-Four, Within You Without You & A Day In The Life.
