 Abbey Road Dec 03, 2008
For me, Abbey Road is the Beatles' masterpiece. The Beatles were the Beatles because, while they embraced rock, they also transcended it...attaining a kind of lyrical quality that few, if any, from the Rock era achieved...and Abbey Road is the ultimate manisfestation of that. In a sense it is a bitter-sweet experience for me to listen to it: sweet because it is so impressive; bitter because it signifies what they could achieve...yet this was their last album before they split. Ah! the what-could-have-beens....

If you don't like this, then you most likely have not heard it. So what are you waiting for - buy this today!
Classic Beatles Nov 18, 2008
What's to say? This is one of several of The Beatles' best albums from the prime of their career. It was produced after their "Top-40" years when they were dedicated to creativity.
Mostly great songs; great Production Nov 05, 2008
Love most of the album then and now. Didn't really understand, though, how much coulda been used elsewhere (like the "White Album"), and how much - not alot - came from other places: Come Together with its' Chuck Berry reference really driving the whole thing; Something, impossible without James Taylor's classic; Oh Darling, yet another Little Richard tribute while Richard was without a recording contract.
Some other curiosities: Mean Mr. Mustard & Maxwell's Silver Hammer (c'mon Paul!); I Want You (She's So Heavy) - a nice soundtrack for a bad Buster Crabbe pirate movie.
Which leaves up with the gems: above mentioned classic A and B side; Here Comes The Sun, You Never Give Me Your Money, Because.
And just like the double-album, we're left with not enough Harrison, to much PM Music Hall cuteness (as memorable as it surely is) and that pretentious "End".
(Is Eric Clapton playing lead on "Something").
