Best Songs From The Beatles' Abbey Road

The Top Ten
1 Something

Masterfully composes song. Although I gotta say, the last three medley songs Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight, and The End are all like one Beatles Bohemian Rhapsody lol

The entire albums fantastic, but this song is one of the beatles' best. The melody of harrison is amazing and the bridge has given me a heart attack!

This song ranks as one of the best songs ever written. Harrison's beautiful melody compares with the best Lennon / MacCartney collaborations.

2 Here Comes the Sun

I do think Something is the best song on the album but I had to vote for this one because this was the song that got me into Beatles music, it was a favourite of mine from a very young age

Clearly the best record for Harrison, but I think this is better than Something due to it's fantasic acoustic riff and chord structure. The optimistic lyrics will make you feel warm on the inside

Probably my favorite song from one of the best musical groups in human history. Also this song cheers me up when I'm sad.

3 Come Together

How George's two songs top the list is beyond me: they're good, but this is a Beatles album, meaning John and Paul have plenty of quality material. That includes this one: a funky John number that kicks off the album to a great start.

3!? Don't get me wrong, Something and Here Comes the Sun are some of the best songs of all time, but Come Together is just higher up on that list.

"Here come ol' flattop. He come, groovin up slowly. He got. Jew Jew Eyeball he worn, holy roller. He got, hair, down, too his knees. Got to be a joker he just do's what he please." God I love this song.

4 I Want You (She's So Heavy)

This is a song that truly defines blues rock. Screeching vocals from Lennon, some great guitar work during the instrumental segway to the last verse, and a heavy melody at the end.

I love prog, and doom metal. Being one of the first examples of both, and coming from the Beatles, it has to be good.

this song is great, anyone can enjoy the guitar, vocals and even the organ

5 The End

This was the peak of their career. Ringo's very solid drum solo, followed by a rotating guitar solo with three sets of two bars each from by Paul, George, and John, which was recorded on the first take with no overdubs, it truly shows how in tune with each other these musicians were. Then the summation of their entire catalogue, underscored by their most beautiful music: "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make." Magnificent.

Who doesn't love a good guitar solo. Obviously people who've never heard this song. This is the biggest head-banger song the beatles have ever made period. One of my favorites. Totally worth every second. Too bad "Her Majesty" ruined this perfect way to end an album and the beatle's entire discography.

This is the Beatles being a band one last time and their love for one another shines through. Exquisite musicianship. Poignant and concise lyrics. A great end to a great career.

6 Octopus's Garden

There's something that makes it fill warm. In my top 5 Beatles songs.

Ringo should have wrote more songs!

Poor Ringo not getting that attention...

7 You Never Give Me Your Money

This song is about the breakup of the Beatles (NOT nonsense as the next comment says! ). The "funny papers" instead of money are the worthless checks given to them by Apple Records. The "negotiations" and "breakdowns" are their arguments pre-breakup. "Nowhere to go" referred to their hopelessness at staying as a group. Paul's "one sweet dream" was leaving Apple Records and driving away post-breakup.

This song makes barely any sense: The Beatles seemed to be more vague about the subject of their songs as they went on- and the reason I love it so much is because of the fact it makes no sense!

Perhaps one of the best beatles songs, paul's part in the middle has to be one of the best verses in the history of music!

8 Golden Slumbers

This song is absolutely the most heart felt song on the whole album. It really makes you sit back and say wow look at what these four individuals did. They created a good portion of the best music ever made and this is how they sum it up. Amazing

With "The End" and "Carry That Weight", this is the final goodbye of the greatest band that will ever be.

It's all about the suite Golden Slumbers/ Carry That Weight/ The End. The magnificant final piece of The Greatest Rock 'n Roll Band.

9 Because

This is a great John song with 9 vocals, the only Beatles song to have this many. George's vocals, even though practically inaudible, are great. John's voice is the very standard inbetween the two, making harmony. Paul's voice gives it a lot of spirit.

This close harmony inspired Queen to open Bohemian Rhapsody. But The Beatles did better harmonies. The version on the Anthology is also great!

Best harmonies ever! It can't even go better than this!

10 Oh! Darling

This is a great song and shows what a great singer Paul was. He used the theme for the later recorded Let Me Roll It on his Band on the Run album.

My favorite song on Abby Road - maybe my favorite song ever - is Oh! Darling. Why is that? Because I am listening to it right now.
So emotional.

The distorted riff and Paul's screaming voice complement each other nicely. It's a very underrated song

The Contenders
11 Maxwell's Silver Hammer

This is so amazing! The Counter Point is pure genius! I wish I could forgive the people who hate on this song, but I find it really hard.

I love the album, but this song is definitely my favourite because it's just so different

Why so many people don't like this song? It sounds so good

12 Carry that Weight

This song never receives enough respect. Perhaps because it is insubstantial on its own. Placed with Golden Slumbers and The End, though, it is a masterpiece. Whatever, Cowboy Bebop forever.

Powerful chorus that makes you want to shout out the lyrics

Drags on but great

13 She Came In Through the Bathroom Window

Besides for just sounding like a great tune, I always feel as if this song does an amazing job of rounding out the part of medley that flawlessly flows from one section to another.

Should be top 10! What's not to like about this song? Fits perfectly in the middle of the medley

The highlight of the medley, in my opinion. Mustard-Pam-Bathroom!

14 Polythene Pam

I love this song! It's incredibly underrated!

The best of Lennon's medley contributions.

My favorite song of the album-

15 Mean Mr. Mustard
16 Sun King

For me, the best in the album aside "Something".

I love this song

17 Her Majesty

This isn't even a song

I love this song!
