Favourite track on ''Abbey Road''

What is your favourite track on the masterpiece ''Abbey Road''?
I think my favourite track has to be I Want You (She's So Heavy)! I just love that proto doom-metal riffage, plus the organ playing, and the fuzz at the end is heavenly!

Runner-ups are Something and Because.

 

"You Never Give Me Your Money". McCartney's expression of sadness and regret at the breakup of the Beatles, and the circumstances thereof; I can get quite emotional listening to it. Though Paul, instinctively, doesn't want the mood to linger, for him or for us: the track takes off into Side Two medleyland, "Out of college, money spent..."

 

'You Never Give Me Your Money' ..... I love all the songs within the song, it's a medley within the medley.

Runners-up:
'I Want You (She's So Heavy)'
'She Came in Through the Bathroom Window'

 

Golden slumbers

 

I picked The End...It always gives me chills

 

Polythene Pam - no contest for me. I always loved that song, since I was kid.

 

Definitely hard choice to pick just one but I also went with Golden Slumbers. Also like Something and You Never...Your Money.

 

Golden Slumbers.
Trash's version is not bad as well.

 

Side 2

 

ME TOO. (it's one long song as far as I'm concerned. Wife and I love doing this on Beatles Rockband))

 

Because - heavenly music and vocals topped off with some subtle Moog

Here Comes The Sun a close second

 

"Here Comes The Sun" is my all-time favorite song.

 

Something.

 

I voted "Because", and when I saw it had one vote besides mine, I suspected it would be you... I think our mutual love for that song has come up before.
But my next pick would be "Sun King", with "HCTS" in third place.

 

I think it has...

Love Sun King ,but it's so short ,wish it were a minute or two longer

 

The End. That comes natural being a guitar player myself. Love those rocking solos.
Closely followed by You nver Give Mee Your Money.

 

Slightly off topic I know, but will someone please remind me which side of the British vinyl edition of "Abbey Road" isn't banded? I think it's side 2 but I simply cannot recall.

Even more off topic: Are there any sides of "The Beatles" that aren't banded? I'd like to know this of SGT. Pepper too.

 

It's absolutely impossible to choose only one.

 

Hard to choose. I went with an alltimer.

I Want You She's So Heavy.

 

I.actually.consider.the.whole.2nd.side.one.long.track,,,

 

You Never Give Me Your Money

 

You never give me your money

 

It's one of mine as well.

"Here Comes The Sun" followed by "I Want You (She's So Heavy)."

 

Here Comes the Sun (the only track I like on the album)

 

Agreed! It's just one perfect run.
I went for golden slumbers as a highlight but really the whole section is my favourite. There is something about Paul's voice almost cracking with the passion he puts in to it. It's my favourite vocal performance of his
