Out of The Beatles’ legendary discography, which album does Paul McCartney love the most? The answer is Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band—and for good reason.
In interviews, McCartney has called the 1967 concept album his favorite, crediting its inventive approach and his own hands-on role in its creation. “I’d pick Sgt. Pepper’s, meself, because I had a lot to do with it,” he once joked. But beyond the humor, the record remains a defining moment in music history.
After the death of manager Brian Epstein and with John Lennon increasingly distracted, McCartney steered the band toward this ambitious project. The result? A psychedelic, genre-defying masterpiece featuring classics like “With a Little Help From My Friends” and “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds.”
Decades later, McCartney still stands by it: “It still sounds crazy even now. You’d think it would have dated… but I don’t think it does.”
For Macca, Sgt. Pepper wasn’t just an album—it was a cultural statement. And clearly, it still holds up.
