Ringo Starr prefers The White Album and Revolver to Sgt. Pepper

Ringo Starr says he prefers Revolver and The White Album to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, because on those records the band returned to being musicians.

Hardly a surprise, you might think, on first reading that headline. But the story is that Ringo Starr likes 'The White Album' and 'Revolver' better than 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band', which might be considered slightly controversial, given just how seminal 'Sgt. Pepper' is considered to be. The former Beatle says: "As a musician, I preferred 'Revolver', and I preferred 'The White Album', because we were back to being musicians. It was like everybody got the madness out on 'Sgt. Pepper', so it served that purpose".
