Huge album for my sixth grade year
Doesn’t age well as the Stones
Very little Beatles does
What stands out most from all those Beatles records is but particularly Pepper and Abbey is the clarity and arrangements of George Martin and Geoff Emmerick
The Beatles arrived with my Jr High years. I liked most of their music through Rubber Soul and Revolver. I wasn’t interested in Sgt Peppers or any Beatles album coming after it. I’ve often thought if their first years had included the likes of Obla Di Obla Da they would have been relegated to a richly deserved obscurity.
I agree that much of the Stones work has aged much better.
