Liz knows what's up.

De_El:
I didn't even know people liked Abbey Road that much. Granted it is a Beatles album, but I'd always considered it kind of lesser compared to Rubber Soul and Revolver.  For me, choosing Unknown Pleasures over it was almost patently obvious.

Care to expand on why this is silly?

Because seriously, London Calling has managed to become really popular in spite of being a fairly boring album.  Maybe it was pretty cool when it came out, but so many albums from around the same time have aged much better.  I see no reason why it should continue to get the love it does.

Abbey Road is my favourite Beatles album, by far. There's such a depth to it that, in my opinion, isn't found in either Rubber Soul or Revolver. Don't get me wrong, I love both Rubber Soul and Revolver (and to a lesser extent Sgt. Pepper's, but the depth argument can be made two-fold), but to me, Abbey Road is by far the premier Beatles album.
