the greatest album of the 20th century hands down...

The Beatles single handedly re-invented pop and rock and roll after Elvis was drafted, Jerry lee Lewis was stabbed in the back by the British press, Buddy Holly went to Valhalla and Chuckleberry was arrested and jailed for doing what comes naturally.
A pretty sad commentary on the morals and ethics of  system that was in dire need of reformation but the Beatles supplied the soundtrack with up-beat wails and then unfathomable strange but universally appealing hymns for the crisis en masse that was the death of religion and the rising of the techo-gadgetry inspired pathetic individualism of shoddy goods and flick controls. i.e remotes, sell phones auto trannies and whatever else that served to isolate the masses from reality.

This album was the crowning glory. The Beatles never did release a dud album but this is the daddy of them all.
Pushed on by the Beach Boys who saw themselves in competition with the fab four the Beatles took music to several new levels that were unimaginable in even the previous year.
Like the Beach Boys with their homage to folk music and the public domain viz Cottonfields and loop John B the Beatles delivered homely homilies alongside sikeaydeelic novelties that stretched the recording technology to the limit.
Whatever the future holds this album is like the pyramids and other wonders of the world that will live forever.
