It absolutely is NOT the best album ever.
It’s not even the best Beatles album.
The best Beatles album, AND the best album ever is Revolver.
Their swansong “Abbey Road” was their best, and the best album ever. They wanted to go out with a flourish, and they did. They wanted to go out on top and they did. Every album from Revolver to Abbey Road was a masterpiece, but Abbey Road has always been my personal favorite. If I had a buck for every time I’ve listened to it, I am sure I’d be $5000 richer.
