Message: [QUOTE="Aluminny69, post: 4303869, member: 103"] Don't tell that to Billy Shears! But seriously, from WIKI: The album was loosely [B]conceptualised[/B] as a performance by the fictional Sgt. Pepper band, an idea that was conceived after recording [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sgt._Pepper%27s_Lonely_Hearts_Club_Band_(song)']the title track[/URL]. A key work of British [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychedelic_music']psychedelia[/URL], it incorporates a range of stylistic influences, including [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaudeville']vaudeville[/URL], [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circus_music']circus[/URL], [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_hall']music hall[/URL], [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avant-garde_music']avant-garde[/URL], and [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_music']Western[/URL] and [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_classical_music']Indian[/URL] classical music. [I]Sgt.

The album had an immediate cross-generational impact and was associated with numerous touchstones of the era's youth culture, such as fashion, drugs, [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysticism']mysticism[/URL], and a sense of optimism and empowerment. It is considered one of the first [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_rock']art rock[/URL] LPs, a progenitor to [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_rock']progressive rock[/URL], and the start of the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Album_era']album era[/URL]. In 1968, it won four [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammy_Award']Grammy Awards[/URL], including [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammy_Award_for_Album_of_the_Year']Album of the Year[/URL], the first rock [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LP_record']LP[/URL] to receive this honour; In November, during his and Evans' return flight from Kenya, McCartney had an idea for a song that eventually formed the impetus of the [I]Sgt.
