ABBEY ROAD

This is the last album of the greatest band of all time, and what a finish it is. After several unsatisfying albums (of the Beatles' standards), they shook the world with "Abbey Road". Even though "Abbey Road" was released before "Let It Be", it was recorded afterwards.

Come Together: There are a lot of classics on this album. This is the first. A very chill- out song; it has a bluesy feel to it. It's a nice Lennon-track, and it's a fine opener.

Something: This song is amazingly beautiful. Nice string arrangement and a great guitar- solo. This is probably Harrison's finest moment ever.

Maxwell's Silver Hammer: A fun little tune by McCartney about a serial-killer. It features synthesizers and percussion.

Oh! Darling: McCartney's best vocal performance ever. PERIOD. This is an amazing song, and probably Beatles' ultimate rocker.

Octopus's Garden: The traditional Ringo track featured on each album. A very charming song with nice vocal harmonies. Unfortunatley: The weakest track on the album...

(From this point ahead, the record is flawless. It's really a great experience)

I Want You (She's So Heavy): This is one of my favorite Lennon songs. An epic and pretty proggy song. The chorus sends shivers down my spine each time. Very nice guitar-solo.

(By this point in Harrison's career, he really started to shine. And it's pretty evident in the next song)

Here Comes the Sun: A very melodic song with nice acoustic guitar. It features string arrangements and synthesizer.

Because: It brings tears down my eyes. This is one of my favorite songs of all time. You could safely say, that this song is Queen's biggest inspiration. It features stunning melancholy vocals: A choir...

Now we get to the good part... I usually describe this next piece as simply: "The Abbey Road Suite". It's a 16-minute song compiled of 8 unfinished Lennon/McCartney songs. It is arguably Beatles's finest moment. The song start with the beautiful "You Never Give Me Your Money and continues with such classics as "Sun King", "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window", "Golden Slumbers" and "The End". This song should be experienced by anyone interested in good music. Ít's a great end to the Beatles' career.

This record shares the space as the best Beatles album with Sgt. Pepper, thus securing it as one of the finest albums of all time. Plus: It features the boys at their musically best. It's highlights are "Something", "I Want You (She's So Heavy)", "Because" and (of course!) the Abbey Road suite.
