Pet Sounds vs Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - Part 2

<p>And so to part two of our clash of the titans, as the second week in our 'beef' season sees us go through The Beatles seminal 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'. Once again there's a hell of a lot to get our teeth into here so it's another long old episode (sorry about that).</p> <p>Where to start when talking about arguably the most influential works of art of the Twentieth Century? We talk about how Paul McCartney and George Martin made use of innovative recording techniques to create the album's sound, we talk about how the Beatles and Brian Epstein completely revolutionised the music industry and how music was promoted (and how that legacy is still present today), and we also talk about how the recording sessions marked the beginning of the end of the biggest band the world has ever seen.</p> <p>In our latest 'video killed the radio star' segment, Tim reveals how a gin commercial led him to recall a classic Smashing Pumpkins video from 1996, and the guys attempt to get some free gin (Hendricks, we are very much open to offers...)</p> <p>Also this week:</p> <p>- Tim asks whether the demise of 'Points of View' led to the fracturing of British Society;</p> <p>- Kev reveals what links this album to his Grandad's favourite footballer; &nbsp;and</p> <p>- when discussing one of the most iconic album covers of all time, Tim decides to focus on the use of grammar...</p> <p>We also decide which album of 'Pet Sounds' and 'Sgt Pepper' is the better. In doing so one of us awards the first ever ten out of ten on Album Clash, and one of these albums shoots straight to the top of our all time chart. But which one...? You'll have to listen to find out. (Seriously, that's kind of the point of this whole thing.)</p> <p>Finally it's Tim's turn to choose which two albums will be the next to go head-to-head in the ring of death, and which famous rivalry we will be discussing in the next of our 'beef season' clashes. All I will say is, it's going to be BIG!</p> <p>This. Is. ALBUM CLASH!!</p> <p><br></p> <p>***PLEASE take a m
