It's impressive how more often than not the technology is off, but the ways humans interact with such changes or technology is where it shines and shocks.

But the real question, will you do the windows?

Lol ok, have a good day sir.

Of course Page cared about the album statement, the band Led Zeppelin were his baby, and started releasing albums after Pepper. Not before.
November 20, 2025 at 4:27 PM
Yes, only a few months, after, because the albums were partially recorded concurrently. (PF stopped by the recording of Pepper in fact).

And why would these artists care about their artistic merits? Arguably due to what the Beatles were doing with their own statements.
November 20, 2025 at 4:20 PM
And while the Animals were broken up, their successor, Eric Burdon and the animals began doing standardized albums in both counties in fall of '67. The end of the year of Pepper. Again proving my point.
November 20, 2025 at 4:17 PM
Yes, and everyone knows the Odessey and Oracle as the album statement (released Post-Pepper, as we all know with Kooper's support) and the earlier one as more of a general collection. Pretty much proves my point.

Not at all, most British acts (the Zombies, the Who, The Animals etc) were putting out different albums across the ocean. Even within months of Peppers, PF still put out different versions of Pipers at the Gates of Dawn in the US and Uk. But by their second album it was the same in both countries.
November 20, 2025 at 3:56 PM
True, but a lot of those British acts went on to be the defining album makers of the post Pepper's era

The overblown "most important album ever" has thankfully been dropped but it did establish something in the development of rock. Certain ideas became the norm rather than exceptions.

I think that Sgt. Pepper still holds a historical importance in the development of albums in rock.

Each song flows into each other, an international tracklisting, meaning you had the album oriented rock era.

He was listed on the Rockville lineup and I was like "him alone?" but you got me psyched.
November 20, 2025 at 4:59 AM
The British Uncle Tupelo.... Is that anything?
November 19, 2025 at 9:42 PM
Woah, that's a heck of a lineup.

Saw the top three at Rockville this year

I did read somewhere that Sterling admitted he, or Lou, would never be able to play like Michael Bloomfield. So they created their unique style/sound.

The Arrow Through Me anecdote is fascinating.

The Madison Cunningham cover is fantastic too.

Didn't realize Nicky had played with any of the Dead.

Remember when it ruined tv's with that 3D fad?

This cover rules btw .... She got Buckingham Nicks back in print.

Maybe she can get Back to the Egg too.

Arrow Through Me is a certified banger, and I am tired of people pretending that it isn't.

I went to NYCC in like '08 or '09 and didn't take the opportunity to talk to him. I will always regret it.

I read comics but didn't think too much about the people behind them.

Also assumed there would be another opportunity.

I totally forgot that was a thing.

Friends I mean, and I guess the movie too

Donahue has made this argument forever though.

He used it to get around accusations from Sinead O'Connor.
