"And what was on the album absolutely shocked the hell out of everyone at the time."

Rumor has it that Sgt. Peppers pushed Brian Wilson over the brink of sanity, after he listened to it over and over and realized it had eclipsed his masterwork "Pet Sounds."

(Which BTW, was a damn good album as well!")

Rumor also has it that John Lennon died a broken and dispirited man, because he was always haunted by the fact that after hearing Procul Harum's "Whiter Shade of Pale" he realized that the best song he had ever heard was written by someone else.

Indeed, the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds is a terrific album.
