The Album of No Return
Hi, I’m Steve Gilliard of The NewsBlog.net. I’ll be posting here when I have time.
Tomorrow Never Knows from Revolver is like looking at a sonic explorer, ready to cast off into the unknown. The song is trippy, but the album changed what rock could be. It wasn’t pop, it certainly wasn’t the blues fueled rock of the Animals and Yardbirds, and it wasn’t the rock and roll of the Stones.
Everyone talks about Sgt. Pepper as the ground breaker, but by that time Pet Sounds was done, and new bands had picked up the sound. It was Revolver which kicked off the journey.
Why?
Because the Beatles had nowhere else to go. The pop was strangling them. They had no public life. They needed to make changes and this was the start
