Aw man, the end of an era.

Just a dribbin' shame it as to end in a fight. Oh well, still we have this. After hearing the amazing Abbey Road, we can agree on the strategy of the Beatles: they were aiming for progressive material. Althought very pop, this album is still the firm intention of exploring much more ground since the White Album.

Ringo gave us his best track ever, Harrison litteraly lifted and animated the album with amazing songs and Moog effects, Paul was Paul and Lennon was sporting a superb red beard. Everything was there to create years of progressive madness. Man, talk about saving the best for last. *Sigh*

This album wouldn't be complete without the magnificent suite starting with Sun King and closing with The End. Oh so many good evenings related to those songs...

No Beatles collection'd be complete without Abbey Road, it would be insanity. If you don't have it, well shame shame. Just go buy it tomorrow and don't speak about it.
