I Want You (She’s So Heavy)

Here Comes the Sun

Alright. So fully aware that my first two picks were a little more obscure, let’s fix that. Before I strike out with three strikes I figured just about everybody is familiar with this album.

Abbey Road (1969), the second last Beatles album (last recorded with the whole band), as if it needed any introduction. The best Beatles album ever made? One could easily make that argument, although critics initially hated it for its heavy use of technical effects and reliance on instruments like the Moog synthesizer. If The Beatles (White Album) consisted largely of them playing around with different sounds, Abbey Road could be considered their refining of those sounds with an incorporation of blues and progressive music, as well as musical styles that would later be associated with alternative rock.

My favorite Beatles album is probably the other most likely candidate for “Beatles Best”: Sgt. Peppers. Even if it is hard to pick the best album, every true Beatles fans has their favorite Beatle. That one’s easy for me. George Harrison. While I do enjoy Harrison’s Beatles songs a lot, (see “Here Comes the Sun” for proof) it really is his solo works after the Beatles that seals him in my mind as my favorite. Don’t be so surprised to see one of his albums pop up here eventually :3
