50 years, how can that be possible? Still sounds amazing… it always will. Let’s get one thing out of the way, yes this is my personal favorite Beatles album but no, I don’t think this is their best one. That title goes in my opinion to Revolver, just like (IMHO) Sgt. Peppers is their most influential one. But Abbey Road always had a special place in my heart. It’s hard to explain, but in honor of its big 5-0, here’s a quick breakdown of why I love this album so much: THE COVER Recently the great Neil Sheasby of Stone Foundation wrote a fascinating series of posts about albums he bought based on how much he liked the cover. Well album covers don’t get much better than this. I am sure that no one bought this album based on the cover, but it’s so iconic that as a kid I remember this image came to my mind when the Beatles were mentioned even before I knew what songs were theirs. I love how you can see this album cover next to their debut Please Please Me and you
