   If "Smile" was released like this in 196

   would pop music had changed differently? Would people not have   
   understood the concept?  Would Sgt. Pepper have been different, given   
   McCartney's professed love for Brian's music?   
      
   I feel that "Smile" would have inspired more concept albums  because of   
   its American theme.  The one-hit wonders would have become one-album   
   wonders, with no hit singles but great concepts.   "Days of Future   
   Passed" by the Moody Blues with the "nights in white satin" is much like   
   the "heroes and villains" recurring refrain, you know?  Well, anyway,   
   there would have been more albums like that.
