Abbey Road
Monday 8 February 2010
The Beatles' finest moment? Yes, there's the silly Maxwell's Silver Hammer and Octopus's Garden and they mess with a perfect ending with the pointless Her Majesty, but ... but!
We have George's perfect moments, the ending of side one, Ringo's drum solo (and Octopus's Garden isn't all that bad...), the epic side two medley, the iconic cover....
It doesn't have the swirling othery-ness of Sgt. Pepper's but given that they were barely a band at this point, to put together a consistent, coherent, brilliant 47 minutes means that this deserves its place in the top 10 albums of all time.
