Yes, I know. "Sgt. Pepper's" isn't Number 1, what can I say. I love Abbey Road, I grew up wearing this album out. It showcased George Harrison's songwriting talents (Here Comes the Sun and Something) as well as Ringo's only midly impressive drum fill-in of his whole career (The End). It's a great album that holds up well with time. [First added to this chart: 05/08/2012]

I could've done without "Four Sticks", but other than that the album is nothing but lyrical and melodical genius. [First added to this chart: 05/08/2012]

The lyrics and music are just downright dirty with the blues with infectious grooves from Richards and Taylor, but damnit it's such a great album that highlights the Stones at their finest. [First added to this chart: 05/08/2012]
