you always hear the term "best album" always carelessy used, often by music critics.
is sgt pepper really the beatles magnum opus, if not which do you think is their best album?
you can vote three times in this poll, anyway you choose.
-
Maybe their magnum opus wasn't an album but a single: Strawberry Fields Forever b/w Penny Lane. I consider that single to be their absolute peak.

from : Notes on "Eleanor Rigby" (http://www.icce.rug.nl/~soundscapes/DATABASES/AWP/er.shtml)
George Martin credits the influence upon him of Bernard Hermann's score for the film, "Fahrenheit 451", though I also detect an affinity here for the same composer's infamous "Psycho" overture. Against a "warp" of mechanical and strident chords (the effect of which is heightened by their being played in short, choppy down-bows 'near the frog' of the bow, the non-vibrato fingering, and the close miking) is woven a continuously varied and syncopated series of melodic counter-figures in either the cello or violin; trace it, section by section, yerself! And if you do, notice the exquisite "softening" effect created by the sometimes retreat into eight notes in the warp, instead of the very stark quarter notes.

Done. But what does all that stuff in the other thread have to do with James Bond?

everything and anything.. the usual whiny illogical PETA bashing and the opaque responses were predictable.. i just wanted to add a light touch to the thread before it degenerated into fingerpointing, pointless pontificating and distortion of the animal rights message.
