To my set of ears (only), Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is at the top of my list. Many reasons to support its best recording of all time. But let me just mention only a few here.
When Beatles did this one it was almost a revolution of rock bands at that time, this album brought in the full size orchestra to mingle with the pop. The Beatles changed from clean-cut teenagers to long-hair hippies right after came back from India etc....
And strickly talking about recording, it was so hard at that time to record the four pieces instruments with (like I mentioned) a whole full size orchesttra, George Martin was the big force to accomplish that gigantic challenge for every musicians that got involved.
Every song (I mean EVERY SONG with no exception) is so delicately produced and played at their best if you really nit-pick every note of each song, they are simply unbelieveable accomplishment of those young English lads. I can say every note is crystal clear and if you don't know there's no stop between songs like the other norm albums.
Here are the song list that I'd challenge anyone to listen and let me know if any of these is a piece of crap. If you never listen to this album please do yourself a big favor. You can really educate youself by listen to this one. I believed I have educated myself after listened and tried to play songs of this album note by note for so many hours and so many years ago and still amazed at it up to this very day
