Not just you. It may have been eye popping in it's day but there is never a day when I think "boy would I enjoy hearing 'Lovely Rita Meter Maid', 'When I'm 64', 'She's Leaving Home', or 'Mister Kite' right now!". Does anyone?
I can listen to Rubber Soul or Revolver or Abby Road from beginning to end over and over. Sgt Pepper, not so much.
It’s more about how the album influenced others at the time. But I tend to agree that it hasn’t aged nearly as well as most of the Beatles’ catalog.
I do. And also, "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds". Some of the songs like "Mr. Kite" don't work as a single, but blend in well with the 60's vibe of the album. I'd love to turn on the radio and hear something of the quality of "Lovely Rita" today.
And who cares if the album fits in to today's world? Part of the fun of Sgt. Pepper is that it came out during the "Summer of Love" and helps one form an image of that time.
