Inspired by Revolver

While Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band is often cited as The Beatles' masterpiece, the preceding Revolver is really where their reputation as pop's premier experimentalists was forever cemented. It's the sort of album where each song practically spawned its own subgenre trend: power pop (“She Said She Said”), orchestral rock (“Eleanor Rigby”), electronica (“Tomorrow Never Knows”, famously appropriated by the Chemical Brothers on their 1997 single “Setting Sun”), world-music crossovers (“Love You To”), even contemporary children's music (“Yellow Submarine”). With this playlist, we survey the ongoing impact of this eminently influential album.
