Bob Dylan fooled the world for decades claiming to have written many of the melodies to his hit songs when in fact most of the melodies were from preexisting songs that he did not write. In a last nail in the coffin scenario James Damiano's movie "Eleven Years" draws the straw that breaks the camel’s back, rivets Bob Dylan to his secret past of plagiarism and rewrites musical history"......The New York Times Bob Dylan 's Stealing of James Damiano 's Songs [url removed]

Lately I've found my long-held opinion Abbey Road is a middle tier Beatles album changing. While I still think my basic arguments about it are factually true (see below), I've found after busting it out and listening without distraction a number of times for the first time in a good while that the criticisms just don't really bother me very much. It's not really innovative -- aside from perhaps "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" having sort of a Proto-Doom/Drone Metal quality to it -- and the song fragments that make up side 2 are not, in their full incarnations (heard on the Anthology 3 set, as well as on a number of bootlegs), Beatles-worthy songs, and "Oh! Darling" IS pretty much an average song saved by a great vocal... but the album is brilliantly crafted and sounds wonderful in the form we got it, and isn't that the main thing? I've always thought the Beatles' innovations were less important to their status as the greatest Pop band than their songwriting/songcraft, and while the

Agree that those albums you mention are of better quality, though Magical Mystery Tour isn't really an album and a Hard Day's Night has some very awkward hiccups between some great songs. I think what draws me to this album is the fact all of them seem to be aware to some degree that this was gonna be their final effort together. It's as if all four realise this is their last chance to showcase their talent and ability, and for me they most definitely did. George Harrison comes of age as a songwriter, producing two of the most loved and memorable Beatles-songs ever. Ringo has both his first self-written song and his first drum solo ever featured on the album. They all set their growing differences between each other aside to come together one last time to provide a fitting ending to their incredible story together. A sort of final salute, or how they wish to be remembered as a group before each going their seperate ways.

I didn't say that it was. In fact everything I wrote was sort of saying the opposite, and my stance has long been that they're best viewed as the best pure pop songwriting combo we've ever witnessed rather than pushed as fearless innovators.

Yep, crafty songs. But they did indeed influence many artists in songcrafting so they provoke innovation with sound details in a few songs. I know what your point is, they are not a pure innovation band like The Velvet Underground to mention one. Probably the Beatles in their more innovative is Revolver and Sgt. Even though Helter Skelter and I Want You are antoher two blasting songs that were really experimental for their year of release... So when they wanted they really were innovative.

I can definitely agree that what makes Abbey Road being mentioned by some people as the best Beatles albums is his songcraft work. overall I think the collection of songs in Revolver/Sgt pepper is far better than Abbey Road, but this album as a whole is just brilliant. When I compare all the Beatles albums I think that those three albums are the absolute top 3 with no argument. Hard Day's Night is pretty average(songwriting and musically overall). Revolver and Sgt Pepper has more meaningful lyrics, and a bit more innovation in their songs. I mean, except Because I don't there is a lot songs you can compare to songs such as A Day In The Life, Lucy in the sky, Taxman, Eleanor Rigby, Got To Get You Into My Life and many more. The Abbey Road medely is pure prefection, but some average songs such as Octupse's Garden, Oh Darling! and I Want You kinda brings this album down a bit. To sum it up: 1.Revolver 2.Sgt Pepper 3.Abbey Road The Rest

I believe this to be the second best album in the history of rock. Being The Beatles (White album) the first.

The second half of the album is probably better than any album made within the last 40 years. Those harmonies. Perfection

One of the best albums of all-time. This is when the psychedelia wore off and the group just started cranking out TUNES! The album-ending suite is just fantastic, progenitor of progressive rock, as usual, The Beatles way ahead of their time.

I think the only bad thing that can be said about Abbey Road is that by this point, it was basically the Paul McCartney Band rather than The Beatles proper,

RE "unfinished outtakes": it's called a suite. Progressive rock bands would do all the time, and honestly few of them were ever able to do it with such conciseness and consistently interesting songwriting as the Beatles did.

I don't understand how it's possible for one human being to be so completely wrong as Abomination317 is below. It's not their best album (that would be the White Album) but it's literally only a hair behind it. It's also their only recording that truly sounds good in stereo. All the others have that godawful stereo separation with the drums or vocals all pushed to one side on at least some of the songs. Plus, the Beatles basically invented doom metal with I Want You (She's So Heavy). That alone makes this album great.

Most overrated Beatles album. There's some good stuff on here (I Want You being the highlight) but there's a lot of... other stuff and the Medley is literally just a bunch of unfinished outtakes stuck together for no good reason.

pleasant enough but totally lightweight. I don't see how so many view this as being their best album when the competition includes the likes of A Hard Day's Night, Rubber Soul, Revolver and Sgt. Pepper. Oh well.

I've never liked this one as much as I've felt like I'm supposed to. I love The Beatles and consider them the best Pop group and songwriting collective ever, but they just sound like they're running on fumes here to me. Granted there is still a lot to like here, but the best thing on the album (the medley of song fragments on side 2) is more of a production triumph and evidence of writer's block than it is an indication that the band and its songwriting were at peak levels. If you doubt me, give a listen to the full version of, say, "Polythene Pam" on the Anthology set; it's one of the worst songs they ever wrote when taken as a whole. Fortunately George's contributions are both classics, "Oh! Darling" is a nothing song saved by a great vocal and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" is a fascinating excursion into proto-Drone/Doom despite also not being much of a songwriting triumph. Neither "Come Together" or "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" has ever done anything for me and "Octopus's Garden" is
