Headquarters or Sgt. Pepper's?

For some weird reason I don't know which album I like better

"Headquarters" by The Monkees or "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" by The Beatles.

Both albums held the number 1 and 2 spot on the albums chart for almost the whole summer and I listened to both of them but I still don't know which is the better album

I know Sgt. Pepper's has all the fancy artwork and the history but they both have very good music.

If you just forget who The Beatles and The Monkees were and listened to both albums, which would you think would stand the test of time.

I thought this thread was titled "Headquarters FOR Sgt. Peppers" and I was gonna say, dude, he lives on the army base.

It's better, I mean. Way better. Headquarters also "stands the test of time," however.

"Sgt. Pepper" is soooo obviously much better that this thread is completely absurd. "Pepper" has actually become more underrated than overrated over the years. It is and will always remain the highlight of The Beatles' albums output. Just because an increasing of clueless morons don't accept that pop music is supposed to be art, and have artistic ambitions, doesn't mean they are right.

Why muck about with this 'pop' stuff? Get some REAL art — you know, Mozart.

the end of the monkees but the start of the beatles best work.

"Sgt. Pepper" was more like the end of The Beatles' best work. But still a pinnacle.

If you forget that they were stars of a TV show and had a bubblegum image, HEADQUARTERS could have been a Buffalo Springfield album. Michael Nesmith was probably doing the country-rock thing long before anybody.

I dig both bands, but SGT. PEPPER was one corny slab of wax - I'm going with HEADQUARTERS.

I like the Monkees debut a lot better, because that's where they really sounded English and Beatles-like. Boyce/Hart wrote most of their best material.
