The Beatles - Revolver

I know Paul McCartney would have to be physically revived after seeing this album up for free, but it's important to know where the Beatles turned the corner. The "Fab Four" already had plenty of solid credibility as songwriters, but Revolver is one of the first public turns towards psychedelia in popular music. All of these songs are in stark contrast to their surrounding tracks- a definite no-no for a band at the top of the pop music world with everything to lose. Rubber Soul, this album's predecessor, is filled with musical hints and tastes of the creativity exercised on Revolver, which, combined with the immense confidence it took to release said album within its context, paved the way for not only Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club and Magical Mystery Tour, but experimental and "indie"-type music. The social unrest within the Beatles minds allowed itself to be quite obvious. All that creative room to breathe along with the freedom to speak clearly inspired (and still does inspire) countless musicians to seek independent direction and forced the listening public to actually listen more intently. Did they spark the hippie movement? It doesn't matter; Revolver is nearly immortal and will forever remain a benchmark in British and pop music.
