How fucking great is this album? I seem to listen to this disk once a week for years; it never seems to bore me. The scope of music on this album is amazing. Every masterpiece of pop all on one disk. Every song just gets better, and the songs all seem to fit into a central theme. It is not just a bunch of songs thrown onto a disk.

Best songs. Here Comes The Sun. Talk about a perfect pop song. The melody is so catchy it makes you cry. George Harrison kicked ass.

Something is even better. How great is the sweeping melody. Like being on a raft, looking around heaven and the angels.

I Want You is the kind of rock song I wish Prince would do. Dramatic and surprising. The ending melody is forboding and mysterious.

Sun King is amazing. Like a carnal bath in pure light.

Because is mystery under the bridge, waiting to grab ya.

Oh Darling is bluesy and balsy, but also sweet. A wimsy, breezy masterwork.

Golden Slumbers is sad and really infects your heart.

The rest are eclectic and amazing. Experiments that never seem forced or predictable.

Her Majesty is the end track that just blows ya away.

All in all the great statement in pop and all music. Very few will ever match the scope of this. Makes ya want to shake every new band and beg them to quit.

Most of their stuff is very good actually. People sleep on them REAL hard.

i liked the white album better

Mine too. Close with "The Beatles" but i think Abbey Road nicks it. The second half just drops my jaw every time i listen to it.

I love how "Sun King" segues into "Mean Mr. Mustard," which is probably my favorite song on Abbey Road.

This is my favorite Beatles album.

Her Majesty was part of the medley with Sun King/Mustard/BathroomWindow... it was snipped out, but you can still hear a bit of the first note, I forget where... it was snipped out and taped to the end of a reel, when they played the edited album side, the song accidently was still attached and McCartney liked it, so it stayed and got mastered with t he album side. --- I read this somewhere.

I like You Never Give ME Your Money better than Here comes the Sun, and how can you knock "Come TOgether"

Only flaw is the really cheesy synth used on "Because" in my not so humble opinion.

Their best imo. I agree, it just never gets boring. I've been listening to it at least once a week since I first got the album back in the early 80s. The White Album comes close but doesn't have that album feel Abbey Road has. Here Comes The Sun, Come Together, Something, and the medley at the end are the high points for me.

This album is proof of how capable they were of such unity after friction, partners, and all the crap that separates people in groups such as these. I wouldnt say everyone in the group was all into it.. but they stuck it out and put forth some incredible musical effort.. They achieved greatness that was in their earlier music.. they brought forth an energy that had been lost in the let it be sessions. McCartney and Lennon had some unstopable hits.. and Harrison's music was emerging with beautiful songs such as Here Comes The Sun. I dig the opera type songs that fade in and out of eachother.. I dont recall Lennon carin to much for it, but it all sounds amazing when they flow into eachother. This is a Five star album.

"Abbey Road" is a great album, no doubt - BUT "Octopus's Garden" is a pile of diseased shit and "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" is no better.

They're my two least favourites on Abbey Road as well. Still, they're easily durable because of what else is on there. It's a great album.
