6. The Beatles' "Abbey Road" Pt. 1

The Beatles are bread and butter. When they first came to America, fans were captivated by their talent, charm, wit, and good looks. However, you can't have rock n' roll without chaos n' confusion. The death of their beloved manager in 1967 commenced the beginning of the end. This downturn included mismanagement, theft, business disagreements, and growing of egos. Needless to say, it was a hot mess express. Abbey Road represents the best and worst of their career; they managed to put out an album that has great music, excellent harmonies, interesting backstories, and purposeful jabs at the industry that destroyed their band. Part one focuses on the pre-Abbey Road Beatles and the first side of the album (aka John's side). Enjoy!
