Good for Sgt Pepper and the triumph of white-bread music

Every “top album” list tops out with Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Lotta crap here, but example:

Love SPLHCB (and to a lesser extent Pet Sounds) because it completely squashed R&B, funk and soul as a force for years.

With very few exceptions, I like white-bread music like Beatles, America, old Sparks, Raspberries, Jellyfish, Bread, Emmit Rhodes, ELO, Carpenters, Sweet, Queen (they lapsed sometimes, but mostly).

Also prog rock like Tull, ELP, Yes, UK, Patto, Gentle Giant, Klaatu, Alan Parsons, King Crimson, Crack the Sky etc.
