 Topic: Abbey Road...
Posted: April 19 2006 at 03:10 |
Well... a Beatles album has finally reached the top 100 list. That didn't take very long, did it? 
It's not that I don't like the album but... well, I'm sure you guys know the story by now.

I think it deserves to be there. The Beatles were one of the most influential bands ever and Abbey Road is one of their best and most progressive albums. Besides, it has a side-long epic, sort of.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Sorry to steal your thunder Legoman, but Abbey Road hit the Top 100 on April 11th, and I still don't think proto-prog albums should be counted towards the overall chart.

^ So that would mean "The Nice" couldn't be included also.

I take your point Ian but I see The Nice as a "proper" prog band anyway.
When "Please Please Me" gets to number one, then you'll all remember my words...

Finally, It should be up there with Lateralus, The Yes Album and other albums that are in the top 50.
It is the only Beatles album that I could give more than 3 1/2 stars ... instead I give it a perfect 5!!! Incredible album!!!!!!

Abbey Road is more progressive than, say, The Lamb Lies Down The
Broadway. Having said that, it is not my favourite Beatles album, and
on the other hand TLLDTB is not a bad piece of work.

It will get to the top 50 in less than a year, well deserved. Awesome album.
