11. The BeatlesRevolver
All the others I’ve picked are almost like beautiful losers and The Beatles are the only winners here. We always loved The Beatles, me and William. Everybody goes on about Sgt. Peppers… but fuck that, this is the one that everybody should go on about. This changed music forever I feel. And it’s just bizarre to think this was three years after With The Beatles. To hear stuff like ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’, it’s mental it came three years after ‘I Wanna Be Your Man’. I loved punk rock but it didn’t exclude everything else. I felt that the people who took to punk like that were seeing it all the wrong way. Punk was to open doors, not to close doors, and we loved The Beatles before we loved punk. It wasn’t like overnight you chuck all your old records away. That would have been utterly moronic. This album just morphed into something that nobody could have predicted. I think music changed overnight because of it.
