The Real Buffalo Joe Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 For those unaware, Let It Be was recorded in January 1969, but wasn't released until May 8, 1970. Abbey Road was recorded from February-August of 1969, and released in September of 1969. So Abbey Road was recorded last, but Let it Be was the last released. I have a Beatles chronological playlist and I always debate which order to put the albums. I lean towards Abbey Road. It just seems so fitting to end with The End, and it was a supirior album. It has the feel of them knowing it was all but officially over, so they made one final album. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeviF Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Abbey Road, for both the "truthiness" of it being "last" w/r/t recording timeframe and with "The End" as the closing track. Also you can really hear the hate for each other if you listen closely. That said, Let It Be was worked on even after Abbey Road was released and was still released kinda-sorta unfinished. I, too, think Abbey Road is the superior album. But I prefer, 1 v. 1, the songs on Let It Be over the individual songs on Abbey Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 At risk of derailing my own thread, I may be in the minority here, but I much prefer the "Let it Be: Naked" to the original Let it Be album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Phil put that horrible Wall of Sound into making a few key songs on All Things Must Pass basically unlistenable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will respectfully disagree about Abbey Road. And with the logic regarding last albums, I think we could rewrite history for a lot of great bands, including Rush, Led Zeppelin, the Who, the Stones and any other legendary band who outwore their welcome.

The only history I would rewrite of those bands would be to keep their drummers alive. otherwise I don’t mind their later albums since I don’t listen to them haha. Asides from Zep that is. I love any and all zeppelin. Also: I know, Charlie is still alive n kicking thankfully. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were just a tad bit judgey and, dare I say, asshatish yesterday. My hope is that you've finally had a good night's sleep and you return today with a fresh outlook. The ugliness you've displayed here is not fair to the OP. I know that you believe you hold the monopoly on Beatles threads, but, this is TBD, and there are no monopolies at TBD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul left the Beatles because of Wings. He didn't want to be in two bands at once. It's a dangerous game. Just look at Pegula. Any day now the NFL will catch on to him owning the Bills AND Sabres. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
