Abbey Road
by The Beatles

Quite a poor album full of B side songs from Lennon and McCartney. The best songs by far are by George Harrison with Here Comes The Sun, and Something. If you take this album in isolation you would declare that he was the major songwriter of the band. The rest of the album has very quirky songs. One or two of them are decent but on the whole a disappointing album. This is one of their worst albums imo.

Masterpiece from one the greatest Rock bands ever.
Abbey Road is the final proof that, even in the midst of chaos, the magic of these four geniuses was unstoppable.
It's not just a collection of songs; it's an epic musical journey, a tapestry of fragments that come together seamlessly, creating a bittersweet farewell that still makes your skin crawl.
It wasn't the ending we wanted, but it was a perfect ending.

in my opinion this is the greatest album ever made
it is jam packed with great tunes. every song on the
album is a winner. george harrison steals the show
by writing the 2 best songs on it.

Shortlisted for the album of the year at the 1970 Grammys. The eventual winner was the self titled album by Blood, Sweat & Tears

What else needs to be said about this album that hasn't been said? Every song on side 1 is amazing on their own, as well as every song on side 2 flowing perfectly together into one of the greatest, if not the greatest medleys ever written. Abbey Road is something you can never get tired of, and is the closest thing I've heard to a perfect album.

This album contains some of the best, Come Together & I Want You, and some of the worst, octopus’ garden and maxwells silver hammer, of the Beatles.

Rather a mixed bag and not the Beatles best album I’m afraid. Decent enough listen though

Abbey Road is the best album from the best best band of all time. The Beatles will always remain the greatest creators of the album as art (especially since that art has mostly disappeared). The reason that I rank Abbey Road above their other work is because they really were peaking as musicians. This album is just better produced than almost anything that came before it (specifically it's a quantum leap from the white album). I'm one of those who find the connected side two to be the best pop music ever created by the fab four. But even beyond that there are just elegant moments that you didn't find before these sessions (the interplay between George's guitar and Paul's bass in Something). And as with all Beatles albums the ideas of four splendid imaginations always take you to unexpected little islands of pop scribbling. Just an outstanding album adventure that is mostly unequaled no matter where you look. And what better moment to end a career like this than "the end" (it's unfortunate the Her Majesty is placed where it is but you can't have everything).

Not my favourite Beatles album but there are some great moments on here. I much prefer Revolver as I think the songs as a whole are stronger.
