Okay, I get Pepper's not being the best but not top 5? Is this some kind of neo-hipster, 60's edgelord retrospective thing? You could argue maybe that Abbey Road, Rubber Soul, Revolver and the White Album were better but that's largely based on taste. In terms of production, writing, theme and performance it's hard to seriously argue any of them were better than Peppers. But what other album would get into the top 5 to push Sgt.Pepper out?

What the hell!? I'll grant you George was at his best with the Beatles but John and Paul better afterwards? They had some decent songs but if not for who they were the vast majority of those songs would be unknown to most. Imagine was a good song but I still think songs like A Day in the Life were better. What did Paul write in Wings or afterwards that could possibly compare to Yesterday, Hey Jude, Let It Be, etc?

I challenge you both to a shirts-off fight on the front lawn!
