In sheer emotional impact and creativity nothing else by the Beatles comes close, and nothing by any other group is even in the same league

Not a bad album for a cut and paste segue. Side two flows together quite seemlessly. Not a particular favorite of mine, out of the whole catalogue, but enjoyable, nonetheless.

everyone here shits on this album because "muh beatles" but it's really a serious contender for the greatest album of all time. on my 2nd listen of the album in its entirety i really learned how to appreciate it, and every track on the album with the exception of with you without you (because that song is bad, however the peaks of the amazing tracks like a day in the life or getting better) brings me into a state of sheer bliss

these plus Electric Ladyland, Fun House, Tago Mago, Souvlaki off the top of my head.

Honestly Abbey Road has so much filler I don't see how anyone can think it's the best BEatles album let alone rock album. They were clearly already past their peak

Can someone explain that album to me? It's a piece of shit. Not a single song on it is memorable. I'd gladly pick Rubber Soul/Revolver/Sgt. Pepper/White Album/Let It Be over it. To me it's 3/10

>Not a single song on it is memorable
Do we have different definitions of memorable? Because I can name any of the first five to seven tracks to random people on the streets and they'll be able to hum it, maybe even sing along.

Just because they don't stick to your particular, individual, personal memory doesn't mean they're not memorable.

And I'm not even defending the album. It's just that that was an idiotic thing to say.
