Abbey Road

Abbey Road was by far my favorite Beatles album. It sounded a lot more modern than their older albums. The White Album and and Sargent Peppers had kind of a retro sound to them and they were a little weird for me.  I still liked them, but literally every song on Abbey Road I liked.  There were some songs on it that I didn't know was written by the Beatles. For example, "Come Together",
"Here Comes The Sun" and "Something". For some reason I thought they were written by the Stones or something. 
One thing that I especially enjoy about this album is that the last songs (not including "Majesty") are all synced together to form one song. It actually blew my mind when we listened to it because I had never heard anything like that before.  I don't know how the Beatles did it, but it sounds so cool it's insane. It legit sounds like one song and how they bring the melody from the first song back into one of the songs at the end is genius.

"You Never Give Me Your Money" was the first song in the medley and I absolutely loved it. I wish they had just continued the song and have it be slow rather than speed up but it was a great way to start out the super long song.

 
 
"Maxwell's Silver Hammer" was hilarious but freaky creepy. It had a really catchy tune to it but I have no idea how you would come up with the idea to write a song like this.
 
 
I wish the Beatles were young and how they were back then today because I would definitely listen to them a ton and love them much more. It would be pretty cool to be alive while the Beatles were extremely popular and not just some old rockers like they are now.
