    I can't understand the hype of Abbey Road. The only Beatles albums I have are that one, the White Album, and Sgt. Pepper... I love the other two, but Abbey Road just blows except for a couple songs.

    i've got Abbey Road, and it doesn't inspire repeated listens. i don't think it's bad, but surely not a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination

    I dig the first Stooges album, but I agree Fun House is better. I love Raw Power, too.

    Abbey Road has some incredible songs on it (Something, The End), and some really fun ones (She Came In Through The Bathroom Window), but it is not the Beatles best album. I'd probably have to give that to Revolver. I also think Let It Be is massively under-rated. I see alot of critics describing it as a let down, but I love just about every song on it.

    Abbey Road rocks.
    Here Come The Sun-George's Best Song

    I Want You(She's So Heavy), they invented the trippy groove with that, and who doesn't love the trippy groove?

    Add in one of the coolest basslines ever(Come Together), a masterpiece of a ballad(Something), a cool Ringo tune(Octopus's Garden), and the 3 guitar onslaught, and possessor of maybe the greatest line ever written(The End) and you can't deny that Abbey Road is one of the best albums ever.
