Most groundbreaking album of all time? - GoFuckYourself.com

Paul Markham · 07-26-2010, 06:17 AM

For me it will always be Sgt Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band. Released in 1967, it changed popular music.

Before it albums had been a collection of singles. After it albums could be very different.

Electric Ladyland of 1968 is also up there at the top.

Pandemos · 07-26-2010, 06:34 AM

Autechre's Confield.

It broke electronic music and allowed it to be reconstructed in ways most people haven't even begun to think of yet.

Just one? I can name hundreds.... here's a few:

Ozzy Osbourne - Black Rain
Metallica - Death Magnetic
Donovan Frankenreiter - (self-titled)
Velvet Revolver - Libertad
Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Lonely Road
The Crash Motive - Consequences
Green Day - American Idiot

lots more. There's still plenty of good music. You just gotta turn off the radio to hear it.

I just read an 800 page book about the Beatles. I was never really a fan and knew little about them, but I was stunned after reading their story. I had no idea.

I know you said "album" which generally is an "LP", but I'm going to list what is with out a doubt the most groundbreaking "record" ever made. THIS...changed it all.

The days of spending what it costs to produce something truly great are gone. A band needs to be playing for a few years, have real talent and the genius to break the mold. To produce such a thing.

Dark Side of the Moon was first played live and refined before they got to the studio.

Sgt Peppers was recorded over a 129 recording session.

Don't see many bands being allowed the freedom to do that today.

You're right, I can't. Not because they all suck but because I don't really buy albums. Got loads of compilations of stuff though.

I'd say everyone else has MORE freedom to do whatever they want...with the advent of cheap computers and digital workstations and the internet.

There's a TON of great music out there today. It's just not pushed in your face via radio and MTV. You have to go looking for it...but with the free tools available, it's not all that hard.

Agree 100%. Then in the 1970's it was the Sex Pistols. Not many people bought the album...but it definitely changed everything again.

And then the 1990's and Nirvana came along and changed it all again.

I don't believe that either the Sex Pistols or Nirvana are in the same league as the Beatles...but I do believe that both bands completely changed rock music in their respective time periods as much as Sgt. Peppers did in the 60's (again, neither band even came close to the genius of Sgt. Pepper but they DID change the direction of music)

Scott McD · 07-26-2010, 02:01 PM

No idea. I like music, but not as much to be able to select one as "most groundbreaking of all time".

I just don't think of music that way at all...

You sir are 100% correct, Brian Wilson was/is a musical genius. The best part about the Beach Boys/ Beatles feud is that Brian Wilson openly sent music to John Lennon just to piss him off. Matter of fact its been well documented that Pet Sounds drove John Lennon crazy and he had nightmares that he could and never would top with Brain was doing...oddly enough he was right.

....

Although not a big seller for the band originally, Pet Sounds has been influential since the day it was released. Rapturously received in Britain, it was lauded in the music press and championed by many top pop stars. The Beatles, for example, have said that Pet Sounds was a major influence on their album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and Paul McCartney has repeatedly named it as one of his favorite albums (with "God Only Knows" as his favorite song) ? completing a circle begun by The Beatles' influence on Wilson. McCartney stated that:

? It was Pet Sounds that blew me out of the water. I love the album so much. I've just bought my kids each a copy of it for their education in life ... I figure no one is educated musically 'til they've heard that album ... I love the orchestra, the arrangements ... it may be going overboard to say it's the classic of the century ... but to me, it certainly is a total, classic record that is unbeatable in many ways ... I've often played Pet Sounds and cried. I played it to John [Lennon] so much that it would be difficult for him to escape the influence ... it was the record of the time. The thing that really made me sit up and take notice was the bass lines ... and also, putting melodies in the bass line. That I think was probably the big influence that set me thinking when we recorded Pepper, it set me off on a period I had then for a couple of years of nearly always writing quite melodic bass lines. "God Only Knows" is a big favourite of mine ... very emotional, always a bit of a choker for me, that one. On "You Still Believe in Me", I love that melody - that kills me ... that's my favourite, I think ... it's so beautiful right at the end ... comes surging back in these multi-coloured harmonies ... sends shivers up my spine.[26] ?

Other artists have also cited Pet Sounds as one of the all time classic albums. Eric Clapton stated that "I consider Pet Sounds to be one of the greatest pop LPs to ever be released. It encompasses everything that's ever knocked me out and rolled it all into one."[27]

Elton John has said of the album, "For me to say that I was enthralled would be an understatement. I had never heard such magical sounds, so amazingly recorded. It undoubtedly changed the way that I, and countless others, approached recording. It is a timeless and amazing recording of incredible genius and beauty."[24]

Beatles producer George Martin stated that "Without Pet Sounds, Sgt. Pepper wouldn't have happened... Pepper was an attempt to equal Pet Sounds."[28]

Bob Dylan has said of Brian Wilson's talents, "That ear ? I mean, Jesus, he's got to will that to the Smithsonian."[29]

In 1995, nearly thirty years after its release, a panel of top musicians, songwriters and producers assembled by MOJO magazine voted it "The Greatest Album Ever Made." It was number one in New Musical Express's list "The 100 Best Albums". In 1997, Pet Sounds was named the 26th greatest album of all time in a Music of the Millennium poll conducted in the United Kingdom by HMV, Channel 4, The Guardian and Classic FM. In 2006 Q magazine readers voted it the 18th greatest album of all time; critics of German magazine Spex voted it the best album of the 20th Century; in 2001 the TV channel VH1 placed it at #3. The Times magazine ranked it the greatest album of all time. It also placed #2 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time behind only Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles. In 2004, it was one of 50 recordings chosen by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry.

In 2006, the album was chosen by TIME as one of the 100 best albums of all time.[30]

The album was named as one of Classic Rock magazine's "50 Albums That Built Prog Rock".[31]

.....

For my picks:
Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
Slayer - Reign in Blood
Nirvana - Nevermind
Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced
Robert Johnson - All Time Blues
Wu Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang
Misfits - Walk Among Us

If that's the first thing released by him, then I'd agree. Everyone can talk Beatles etc. all day long, but looking at music TODAY, Elvis shaped it more than anyone because he's pretty much the first to create the pop frenzy. Beatles may have shaped a lot of good music, but Elvis has had more of an impact on the music industry as a whole I think.

It hit the billboard Top 200 without ever being played on the radio and is basically responsible for the rise of the entire death metal scene. A lot of people don't care for that stuff, but there's no denying its impact.

I don't like the Beatles that much but I can certainly appreciate the impact they had on pop music, a genre I generally don't like.

That's a good point. But Paul's point was ALBUM oriented. Elvis never put together a concept album that influenced the creation of albums afterwards.

Of course Elvis changed everything.

But the "pop frenzy" thing I have to disagree with. That's always existed with popular singers throughout time. For instance before Elvis it was Frank.
