THE BEATLES "abbey road" 1969, vinyl,cd. #1 everywhere
had to pull this one out to get Geri Halliwell out of my head...otherwise i might have nightmares tonight!
what can i add to this that aint been said over the last 42yrs?
its simple...its The Beatles,its pop/rock perfection by three talented Scousers...oh yeh and that guy that plays drums,sings silly childrens songs and is more famous for being Thomas the Tank engine!
the final album by the Fab Four but released prior to Let It Be.
two of Harrison's finest songs are on this one (something & here comes the sun), Lennon was sued by Chuck berry but settled out of court with Lennon agreeing to record some of his songs, which appeared on his 'rock and roll' album in 1975, for ripping off "you cant do that".
Macca's "oh!,darling" set the template for some of his best tracks with Wings.
elsewhere Lennon blues's it up on "shes so heavy", Macca chips in with the whimsical "maxwells silver hammer" and "her majesty".
side 1 is a set of normal songs, side two is Macca's creation of splicing numerous snippets of unfinished songs together to create one huge soundscape.
...then theres the cover itself which caused much debate and speculation, Macca walking barefoot and out of step with the other Beatles, and that VW Beetle with the licence plate which reads "28 IF"....all hints to the fact Paul died in a car crash back in 65/66ish.
forget Sgt.Peppers,Revolver,Rubber Soul,white Album.....this is their masterpiece!
i cant be bothered posting links....im too tired for that, and everyone knows these songs anyway!
