Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band — 1967
The Beatles
The album that reframed the LP as a complete artistic statement rather than a singles vehicle, dressed in orchestral flourishes, music-hall whimsy and studio trickery. Its influence on production and album-as-concept thinking is hard to overstate. Best heard start to finish, the way it was designed. Sits between the landmarks and earns its spot.
On vinyl: The original pressing is a collector's piece; a modern remaster is the sensible route.
