"It was 45 years ago today... The Beatles' Sgt Pepper inches toward the half centry mark":

This really makes me feel old. I remember you couldn't walk down the steet with out hearing one or another of the songs from this album blaring out of some house or business. An interesting fact about this album is that no single was ever released of any of the songs on Sgt. Pepper. The Beatles were apparently unintersted in a singles release because they wanted the album to be taken as a whole work of art and not a collection of songs...

When Haydn first heard Beethoven's 3rd (Eroica) symphony, he is qouted as saying, "From today, everything has changed". For the world of rock and popular music, this was their Eroica..
