One of the greatest albums in music's history, and I'm not a Beatles' fan. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

Funny thing is, as much as I adore the Abbey Road album, I've always preferred Cockney Rebel's cover version of Here Comes the Sun to the original (shame on me I guess )

What a brilliant poll. And I like the fact that you can vote for the medley as a whole or seperately as individual tracks. Well done.
We only need to see a poll like this about once every couple of years though. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

My favorite in general was Revolution 9 just for being so damn off the wall.

Abbey Road is the eleventh studio album released by the English rock band The Beatles and their last recorded. Although Let It Be was the last album released before the band's dissolution in 1970, work on Abbey Road began in April 1969. Abbey Road was released on 26 September 1969 in the United Kingdom, and 1 October 1969 in the United States.

I know there has been debate as long as prog has been established were the Beatles ever really progressive rock? I honestly think the Beatles really belong in a category while being very progressive they also had a strong sense of pop melody thinking more of harmonic structure rather than the beat that was essential in early rock and roll, I think side two basically proves that.

Ah, I can't decide - the entire first side is possibly my favorite single album side on earth. Here Comes the Sun for such uplifting sweetness.

"Here Comes The Sun". I remember hearing that song after my dad bought the 1967 - 1970 compilation and was totally entranced with it. Took me a while to get into Abbey Road itself, though. I was about seven or eight when I first heard the album and had no idea what to make of the medley. ------------- He looks at this world and wants it all... so he strikes, like Thunderball! |

Come Together for being such a cool and laid back track. Great bas work by Macca and Lennon with archtypical playful singing and lyrics.
I recently used the track for testing new potential speakers and continue to find details that I haven't heard before.
