About

<b>100 Best Albums</b> Giles Martin, son of legendary Beatles producer George Martin, once told Apple Music that <i>Abbey Road</i> is the perfect gateway into the Beatles universe because it sounds so contemporary. And it’s true: While other Beatles albums conjure a specific moment frozen in amber—the matching suits and mop-tops or the mid-period mischievous experimentation with pop form or the technicolor burst into psychedelia—<i>Abbey Road</i> sounds like nothing more or less than four extremely gifted humans playing one indelible song after another in the same room together. The 11th and penultimate album in The Beatles’ historic catalog was the last on which all four members worked in the studio as a unit, all at the same time. And while singling out one album as their most impactful is a fool’s errand, 1969’s <i>Abbey Road</i> is indeed the most agele, simply an immaculate, unmatched collection of songs by a world-changing band at their creative peak. .
