Mike et al:
I'd be pretty hard pressed to find the most influential, though lately I've
been hearing a ton of psychedelic music that "borrows heavily" from tracks
on Revolver. So perhaps we can narrow it down to most influential Beatles
album - and from what I'm hearing lately, I'd have to say Revolver.
Also- as a side note - for those who have never been to a Fab Faux concert,
you really need to hear them do "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" live. That
and Helter Skelter live really are some amazingly rocking tunes (okay, and
I was pretty thrilled to hear Savoy Truffle live too)...if you ever do get
the chance, check 'em out - you won't be disappointed.
