Summary

Today is the 50th Anniversary of The Beatles "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album, and the Fab Three - Y2J, the Winery Dogs Mike Portnoy, and Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante - are reuniting to discuss this historic, groundbreaking album. They breakdown the recording, the songwriting, and the track listing. They discuss the LSD influence on the Beatles creativity, and what role The Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds" album may have played in the Beatles' creative process. They name their favorite and least favorite songs on the album, and ponder what may have happened to The Beatles if manager Brian Epstein had not died.
