Re: Who & Sgt Pepper



Gary, re:

>to suggest that the Who had no interest in it at all is ludicrous.  This
album was incredibly important and influential to everyone at that time in
one way or another. 

hMMM... I don't know. I listened it to it once and thought it was a piece of
<Picard>. Pete Townshend has a long history of "concept" pieces, dating back
to "A Quick One While He's Away" and most recently, "Psychoderelict". Other
than a few early songs, perhaps like "The Kids Are Alright", & their early
R&B influences, The Who really became their "own band" and tried more to do
their "own" thing, rather than "copy" someone else's.
