I'm a baby-boomer. And growing up in the 60's, it is difficult for me to understand how listeners can hate on the Beatles. Guess you guys have no idea of what the alternative was. It was something new every week! We were starving! The Beatles gave us an alternative. Not to mention all the other ground-breaking ideas they brought to modern music. I'm done.
Great song! Yes, I could tell the middle part was Paul, and the rest was John. For one thing, Paul's voice is quite distinctive. But, more than that, the melody and the accompaniment is Paul-like. Less experimental, a little more popish, easier to sing! I think most of their songbook is credited to Lennon-McCartney, but after say, Revolver, their styles are distinct. In this song, we get to hear them collaborating, contributing different sections-- the contrast adds to the interest.
This is in the top three among Beatles' songs (I am the Walrus and Across the Universe are the others), and I always imagined that John and Paul had a name of a song and then each one came up with something different and they put it together. Although, I imagined Paul coming up with the first part and John coming up with the second part. Either way it is an incredible song.

Rolling Stone rated all their songs recently and this was #1. Apparently they fused together two songs. I believe the first was John's and Paul's was the second part. They were broken up by the alarm clock that was a gag to keep Ringo and George awake during the sessions. Also, they brought in every piano in the building to pound that last hanging E chord at the end that seems to last forever. What an amazing song and band!
Even though John and Paul both get credit for the song, this is clearly has Lennon's influence all over it, maybe with the exception of the diddy in the middle of the song which sounds more like McCartney's work. An absolute masterpiece. The Beatles were so far ahead of their time, yet knew exactly what the people wanted.

This song summarized the 60's for a great number of people I know. Lennon and McCartney were probably the best song writer of the last 50 years.
one of the great albums of all time. changed the course of popular music. amazing innovation and creativity. pretty good band, too.

Sgt Pepper's is absolute genius! Read the history on this album and it will blow your mind. Lots of little tricks and mind games most people dont' know about.
A theatre instructor once told us - "don't try to be dramatic, comedic, etc... it's in the slice of life where genius is found". This song - and L&M's collaboration - exemplifies that.
Apparently John gave the orders to the orchestra to play from the bottom to the top of the octave at random, hence the insane sounding buildup! Best song I can name to date.

Music critics have voted this the best song of all time. Amazingly, of all the #1 hits the Fab Four had, this wasn't one of them! Great music is rarely appreciated by the masses.
