It's also worth noting how heavily the whole Sgt. Pepper is influenced by Freak Out! by Frank Zappa. That record basically singlehandedly started the psychedelic revolution in rock. If you don't know it go listen to it!
- ZenoArrow 9y ago>"Freak Out! by Frank Zappa. That record basically singlehandedly started the psychedelic revolution in rock." Zappa did some amazing stuff, but he didn't invent psychedelic rock. Can read more about the early history here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_rock https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_rock
- carlob 9y agoNot invented, right (but I didn't say exactly that). However in the context of Sgt. Peppers: According to David Fricke, the album was a major influence on The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Paul McCartney regarded Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band as The Beatles' Freak Out! from Wikipedia
- ZenoArrow 9y agoOkay, but I'd say there were probably multiple major influences. Pet Sounds is also meant to be a major influence on Sgt. Peppers: https://www.quora.com/How-did-The-Beach-Boys-Pet-Sounds-influence-Sgt-Peppers-Lonely-Hearts-Club-Band https://www.quora.com/How-did-The-Beach-Boys-Pet-Sounds-infl...
- grasshopperpurp 9y agoIt came out in '67, so it wouldn't have influenced Sgt. Peppers, but I read that John Lennon had like 10 copies of Beefheart's Safe as Milk (Ry Cooder played guitar on that one).
- emmelaich 9y agoAccording to Wikipedia Pet Sounds was released in 1966 and Sgt Peppers in 1967. Not only that that but McCartney and Wilson both know that they were influences on each other.
