It will stand the test of time, if the human race is still here 100 years from now people will still be listening to and appreciating this. Any casual browse on UA-cam will find choruses, music groups and home studio recording artists making their own versions of the medley. It's a classical piece of music. I remember buying Abbey Road when it came out, we didn't have a proper stereo, I was still using a basic "record player" that a cousin gave me. I played this album till it wore out.

While I find their other albums like the White Album more interesting, Abbey Road for me, is their masterpiece. Thank you for your analysis.
I remember thinking (as a teenager) when Come Together first hit the radio waves, I had never heard any sound like that before. Needless to say, I bought the album, and yes, it's a masterpiece that no other band could have even conceived.
Thank you for posting this. I think it’s worth mentioning that in I Want You the instrumental interlude has a beautiful interplay between Paul’s bass and George’s lead guitar. Also, I Want You ends Side 1 on a chord that directly leads into the first chord of Side 2’s first track Here Comes The Sun, whereas the last chord of Her Majesty that ends Side 2 directly leads into the first chord of Side 1’s first track, Come Together. This creates a perfect circular effect. Even though I doubt very much that the Beatles intended this it does seem to me that with it the gods of Music were bestowing their blessing on the whole album. Thanks again.
Genuinely holds up so well production wise as well. Not sure Abbey Road will ever be topped. I like the earlier albums too but something like Sgt Pepper’s hasn’t aged as well imo.
For me, an old guy who grew up in the 60's. Abbey Road is the crown jewel of all the Beatles' absolute gems. In fact, it is in my top 2 albums of all time. (I keep flip-flopping it with Dark Side of the Moon for the number 1 position)
Abbey Road is the worst Beatles record, and I only like Here Comes the Sun. But the album is so loved. It sounds like a group with no producer (G Martin might have been mostly absent?) and is about a band really to break up.

They were the Mozarts of pop music and will never be equaled as a band. Their diverse output in the relatively short time they were together was amazing.
Bollocks. They wrote some nice too s, but increasingly began to believe their own bullshit (along the lines of ‘they are the Mozarts of pop music). The White Album is in many ways an indulgent mess.
"pop music"? Many of their songs, especially on the White album were not "pop" and they never became popular because they were so different than what was on the radio in 1968 and 1969. When FM radio became more popular then the general public heard some of these songs but in the early 1970's (too late though).
Abbey Road is the sonic template of the 1970s. It's difficult to imagine either Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon or The Cars first album without it. And those are just two examples.
@@TeresaTempleton-u6i It’s sooo good hey! I only recently took the time to really listen to it. Love the album. She’s so heavy is such a great track. 🤘🔥
You don't even mention THE BIG ONE which the nick name for all the songs on side 2 from BECAUSE thru THE END. All those songs were attached to one another and was a major point of the record. Just so odd to omit that.
I remember being in The Marquee Club in Wardour Street in late 1969 and this album was being played it must have been before it’s release,and you knew who’s Lp it was.I believe we might have been waiting to see Eiher Blodwyn Pig or a Group called Village led by Pete Bardens on keyboards and the early appearance of The Attractions bass Player
An excellent album, of course, but only #5 on my Beatles list, (1. Pepper 2. Revolver 3. Rubber Soul 4. White Album). But the Beatles #5 album is still miles and miles better than almost anything any other band ever did, that's how good they were.
I was a Senior in High School when Abby Road was released. They made some great albums, and I have them all from the Beginning…but Abby Road is my Favorite. ❤️
In my opinion, Abbey Road is the greatest Beatles album. Followed closely by Sqt. Pepper and the White Album. In reality, there is no bad Beatles album. They are all great in their own ways.
Maxwell's silver hammer is a wonderful McCartney song, which deserves its place on the album and in the Beatles' back catalogue. The pain they went through recording it was worth every minute. In my humble opinion. The album, Abbey Road, has never been surpassed!
Who's to say, rank or decide which is the greatest album? That being said, Abbey Road is my favorite album by The Beatles. It would be a perfect album for me if "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" was dropped. Just my opinion.
The solos were Paul McCartney, George Harrison and John Lennon. Eric Clapton was not on Abbey Road. Eric Clapton played on the song " While my guitar gently weeps" off the " White Album" 🚶🚶🚶🚶🎸🎸🎸🥁☮️
No, sorry. Paul, George, and John, in that order, and repeated three times. As LouisSpeciale pointed out (above) you may have been confused by While My Guitar Gently Weeps on the White Album, which has Eric Clapton's only ever appearance on a Beatles album.
Nope! The Beatles had three guys (Paul, John and George) who could play lead guitar and all three actually did play lead on certain songs. For example, that was Paul McCartney playing the blistering psychedelic lead guitar bridge on "Taxman" and that was John playing lead guitar on "Get Back". There are numerous other examples of John and Paul playing lead besides George on Beatles' songs. Also, Paul played ALL of the instruments on his first solo album and John played lead guitar on the entirety of his first solo album.
It’s actually both, just ask “Rolling Stone”. Their initial “review” lambasted it& called it garbage, then, two weeks later, they published a glowing review of the “masterpiece” in their next issue! 🤔 the ultimate critical flip flop of all time! Jann wenner, man of the people!!!🤪
The Beatles are my favorite, but this is not even a mid level effort from them. Especially side one, which drops off a cliff after Something ( which is great). I agree with John, George and Ringo that Maxwell is awful. Its production wore away at them, probably a factor in their breakup. Darling and Garden are embarrassing,and I Want You drags. Side 2 has great moments, such as Sun, but some lesser ones as well. Overall you can hear their impending demise.
Timeless!!! If there Ever was Anything “timeless”, Abbey Road is it! Overrated would be the stupidest word to ever use in the same sentence with “Abbey Road”! And shame for even titling the thumbnail that way. Sacrilegious! Blasphemy!
Pretty good review, until you got to the end where you call the Beatles “prog”. Why does every clueless millennial and gen z think everything that isn’t metal is prog? The most overused term in music. The album has elements of hard rock, rock and roll, heavy rock, blues rock, and folk rock. Prog is a term for real progressive rock groups like Yes, Rush, and Genesis. The Beatles are extraordinarily talented and diverse. Prog is a lazy term these days, and used to back date groups into a more narrow genre that did not exist earlier, and had and have descriptive genres that accurately capture their art.
If I understood him right, he wasn't saying "the Beatles are prog" but rather that their music had elements that can be seen as foreshadowing prog. Specifically, You Never Give Me Your Money had "a structure that people have looked at as a precursor to progressive rock tracks" he says. I think that's true, it has. The very same has certainly been said of many other musical ideas in the Beatles canon, by such prog royalty as e.g. Jon Anderson. It isn't a crazy thought.
@@scottstambaugh8473 OK. Track One- Come Together - stolen from Chuck Berry - You Can't Watch Me Track 2.

You know you're in trouble when Harrison writes the best songs on an album....compared to Revolver and Rubber Soul, it's well produced dross.
@@Ira88881 thanks for commenting…it really is hard to find the words to describe these songs I agree as they are so unique and diverse each in their own right. However I try to describe them as I understand them from my perspective. What would you have said instead?

When AR first came out, I was not much of a fan of I Want You, and usually skipped it when playing the album, Years later, I was listening to the album and let it play through. And suddenly, it hit me. I realized how great it is... the timing changes, the varying instrument backings, the production. This song is so much more than a repeated lyric. Not a singable catchy tune you'd hum to yourself. It's more of a jam session experimenting on the fly, and it gives an insight as to the way they built their songs in different ways. But hey, if it's not your cup of tea, fine. We all have our preferences. I never skip it anymore.

RAM by McCartney was probably the first prog album. Released May 1971. McCartney did a lot of stuff that had major influence outside of his regular hit songs in the early 70's. If you listen to RAM, also listen to the bonus track Oh Woman, Oh why. It's a sound you would later in the 70's from others.
I actually agree with calling the Beatles prog. I think the whole prog ‘genre’ is a contradiction in terms anyway. How can you be truly progressive if you’re bound to constraints of what the so called genre is meant to be? To the extent they innovated and weren’t afraid to experiment I’d argue the Beatles were more truly progressive than many of the bands people would think of as typical prog. Not sure why you seem to be so hung up on genres and labels tbh. Good music is good music.
@ For those of us that have followed, closely, and enjoyed the evolution (not progression) of blues to r&b to rock and roll from the 50’s on, having lived through it all; then from r&r to all the sub-genres of rock through the decades - these sub genres all have meaning. Prog has its own niche and a distinctive sound, and well includes such greats as Yes, Genesis, and Rush. While the Beatles unquestionably innovated and evolved rock in different directions, it is a mistake to call every turn in the road “prog”, which is a lazy way of characterizing sub-genres that have already established more descriptive and accurate classifications that were and are readily understood. That’s why they cane into being. “Prog” has become a meaningless basket that has in the last 10-15 years been misused to allocate most everything in the Rock world that is not Metal, which has its own half dozen sub-genres (slash, death, sludge, industrial, death, speed).
@ What gives all of those sub genres beyond mere categorisation? Prog being short for progressive, I don’t see what is progressive about boxing yourself into a certain genre. It’s why I don’t like that prog label, because it’s contradictory in and of itself. At least with a term like pop, you can align it closely with music that’s generally popular. Once you start all of these sub genres you mentioned at the end it gets a bit ridiculous. The average person would have no clue what to make of those terms as a way of distinguishing differently types of music from each other, so really what use are they?
@@jonathanmarkham1998 They are of interest to people who care about that music, and consequently find it useful, and part of the hobby. The average person does not care about bird watching and observing and categorizing the hundreds of species and sub species of these beautiful and amazing animals. Same thing. Interest results in knowledge, and fun.

That album is an early illustration of why the Beatles are not only in the hall of fame (duh), but each one of them individually is a well
So,what's your opinion on this album???
Hey Johnny, I wrap it up from 6:51 onwards. What are your thoughts on this album? One of the Beatles best?
This album has been my favorite since I was 4 years old and it always will be!

The album is amazing So many different styles Here comes the sun Because is so beautiful
So glad that Let It Be was put on the shelve and that Abbey Road stands as their last work together. They went out in a blazed of glory on this one.
Oh darling has been my favorite song since 1969

I was a junior and also still have all my Beatles LP's.
My 2 favorite Beatles albums are Rubber Soul and Revolver, but I think Abbey Road is their best post-Revolver album.

Prog being short for progressive, I don’t see what is progressive about boxing yourself into a certain genre. It’s why I don’t like that prog label, because it’s contradictory in and of itself.
At least with a term like pop, you can align it closely with music that’s generally popular. Once you start all of these sub genres you mentioned at the end it gets a bit ridiculous.
The average person would have no clue what to make of those terms as a way of distinguishing differently types of music from each other, so really what use are they?
@@jonathanmarkham1998 They are of interest to people who care about that music, and consequently find it useful, and part of the hobby. The average person does not care about bird watching and observing and categorizing the hundreds of species and sub species of these beautiful and amazing animals. Same thing. Interest results in knowledge, and fun.
