Well, of course, those two songs are wonderful, but I would still take the medley over them both. Besides, people tend to forget how great Oh Darling and Because are; I wouldn't say Lennon/McCartney dropped the ball on Abbey Road at all. I just think Harrison stepped up. That shows how great Abbey Road is.

No harm in that. Especially if you're not a big fan of the medley.

Re: Re: Tommy is the most overrated rock album of all time
I'm with you. Both records have a few good tunes but as a whole, I never liked either one much, and I esp. dislike The Wall.

Talk about the most overrated rock album and that one is a winner.
I don't know Tommy that well, but The Wall sure is one of the main contenders for that prize. A double album and almost no tunes. Geez...

Have you ever heard of a certain album called Quadrophenia?
It's Tommy on bucketfuls of steroids and schizophrenia meds.

Only Eddie Vedder could pull it off even half as well as Daltrey, and he did.

Actually, the only time I even remotely enjoyed the Who was when I was high. I never understood why they're so hailed. Granted, they're still around, but so are the O'Jays.
I just never felt The Who did anything all that good. To me they were like the Stone Temple Pilots of the 60s/70s. Some good stuff, but overall pretty meh.Baby O'Reilly is great.
That's all I got.

That's such a fun song and you know it.
I've come to realize that Abbey Road is their best album, but I hold Revolver in a close second. Can you name a bad song in this bunch?
Come Together
Something
Maxwell's Silver Hammer
Oh! Darling
Octopus's Garden
I Want You (She's So Heavy)
Here Comes the Sun

OG is ok... I just don't think it belongs with the rest of them... Other than "With A Little Help From My Friends" Ringo usually handles the "comic relief" portion of the album

Good Night from The White Album is comic relief?
That's really a good tune.

With A Little Help From My Friends is amazing. Good Night is very good as well. The only Ringo song that makes me angry is Yellow Submarine.

I still prefer the Joe Cocker version of "Friends," it's the only Beatle cover to be better than the original.
The Who still kick ass

Come here, boy, sit on my knee. I wish to tell you a story.
Several years ago I used to be in barbershop quartet. We used to sing songs for people hoping they would give us money and/or food and clothing. Our first song to really hit paydirt was our cover of Yellow Submarine. Unfortunately, due to copyright infringement, we had to break up.
So that song always reminds me of my 36 seconds of fame. 
(BTW, quite a bit of that was true in my actual life, just remove the copyright and food/clothing stuff, and there you go)

Well, there's no bad track I admit. But Come Together and Octopus's Garden bore me sometimes. Nevertheless, it's still my favorite Beatles album with Revolver coming close.
As for the Who, Quadrophenia is good but slightly overrated IMO. Never listened to Tommy. I love a handful of their songs like Won't Get Fooled Again, Love Reign O'er Me, Behind Blue Eyes etc. but they never keep my interest enough to get any albums.

Octopus' Garden is one of my favourite songs off Abbey Road. Severely underated tune. So joyous and feel good, and I love Ringo's vocal.
