 "What is so brilliant and epochal about 'Abbey Road'? An album more famous for its cover than for the songs it contains."

 "If I have to listen to a Beatles album, I pull out 'Pepper' or 'Revolver'."

This review argues that The Beatles' Abbey Road is overrated and lacks the innovation present in other 1969 albums like those by King Crimson. It suggests the album is more notable for its iconic cover than the music itself, which is viewed as a summary of Beatles' earlier styles rather than a groundbreaking work. The author prefers albums like Sgt. Pepper and Revolver as more representative of the band's innovation. Overall, Abbey Road is seen as a polished but less substantial testament to the band's legacy. Explore the debate: is Abbey Road truly a Beatles masterpiece or just an overrated classic?
