Is there any area in which The Beatles don’t stand head and shoulders above their peers? It occurs to me as I look at the iconic image to the right that this is only the band’s second-most famous album cover.
Abbey Road is an odd and wonderful album. Most of the second half is dedicated to a seven-song medley introducing such characters as Mean Mr. Mustard and Polythene Pam before launching into the anthemy singalong of ‘Carry That Weight’ and culminating in the symbolic finish of ‘The End,’ in which each Beatle trades off a solo on guitar or drums before capping off the album, and their career, with the profoundly simple phrase: ‘And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make.’
