BeatlesAbbey Road

Come Together slinks in on a swampy, loping bassline and a hushed vocal that dares you to lean closer. Something is George Harrison's finest moment, a love song wrapped around one of the most revered guitar solos in pop. Here Comes the Sun radiates pure warmth. Then Side Two stitches eight fragments into a sixteen-minute suite that builds to The End and its three-way guitar duel between Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison. The Beatles signing off at the height of their powers. Play it whole, every time.
