It's really important to not forget how this sounded to people at the time. For what was thought of as rock music, this was absolutely extraordinary and relatively unhinged. Rock music didn't have those kinds of chord changes or dramatic shifts in mood like in that middle-eight

No, you need historical context or else you have people saying stupid shit like "It's good but the boys really start cooking in '66." Frankly, they never topped this song until the release of Strawberry Fields Forever

Disallowing curiosity of historical context is kind of stupid, I agree, but what I don't see as stupid is stating a preference, one such being the Beatles' quality improved in 66. People overhype when considering context, sometimes. Which partially or even completely disengages one from one's genuine preferences.

This is the song that really "started" the '60s. Many will tell you that this was the first song The Beatles played on "The Ed Sullivan Show"...but it wasn't.
