That's a nice story.
I searched on Google and saw that there was actually a recording studio at Tollington Park from Decca. So there's another analogy to be found between Abbey Road and Tollington Park.
Or is this all well known to progressive Brits / Englishmen / Londoners?

Caravan's "The Fear And Loathing In Tollington Park Rag", the album closer on Cunning Stunts, was inspired by "Her Majesty", the album closer on Abbey Road, don't you all think?

Oh I think 'Her Majesty' ;  is there a funnier, more poignant or appropriate goodbye from anyone?

Come Together, Something, Oh! Darling, I Want You (She's So Heavy), Here Comes the Sun, You Never Give Me Your Money, She Came In Through the Bathroom Window and Golden Slumbers are all some of the most magical music I've ever heard. That's like what, 8 out of 17? Not bad. Note that I think most of the rest is also awesome, but these are the cream of the crop.

For the sake of this thread, my gut feeling told me to go for You Never Give Me Your Money because it's the first song from the album I fell in love with,

Well, if I cannot choose for the medley as a whole (nudge nudge, wink wink Wink ) , I choose Sun King.

The Beatles were good at close harmony. I could have voted Because as well. Mind you, AR is also good because it has some powerful rock tracks. But the two tracks that I mentioned are my favourites.

Lately, it's been "She's so Heavy".  That long drawn out coda is one of the coolest pieces of music ever.

I'm trying to figure out how I should vote in each poll because you really can't cast the same vote can you?
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

damn..the better poll has just been deleted. I just made a good post too. Now we are stuck with this crappy poll. The cheap knock off. This pale imitation.
