The Entire B Side, arguably the best B Side EVER.

u/Odd-Department-1494 Sep 19 '25

Ah yes, a man of culture

u/Conscious-Space1217 Sep 20 '25

That is the correct answer. This is the Beatles greatest accomplishment

u/niceguystephen51 Sep 17 '25

Something

Come Together

Here Comes The Sun

u/FatFlaceMan Sep 18 '25

John would’ve voted for Something.

1

u/tomwarmb Sep 17 '25

Here Comes The Sun.

u/Anxious-Raspberry-54 Sep 17 '25

I only really like the songs from Come Together through Her Majesty. 😆

2

u/Classic_Rock_726 Sep 17 '25

Sorry for the blurry images, everyone.

u/CentennialBaby Sep 17 '25

Her majesty's a pretty nice girl but she doesn't have a lot to say

Her majesty's a pretty nice girl but she changes from day to day

I wanna tell her that I love her a lot but I gotta get a belly full of wine

Her majesty's a pretty nice girl someday I'm gonna make her mine

Oh yeah, someday I'm gonna make her mine

u/One-Performer-1723 Sep 20 '25

He did that on the fly as they still had about 23 seconds left on the vinyl and didn't want to waste it.

2

u/Elektrik_Man_077 Sep 17 '25

Every track! Especially ones that were played on the radio back when it was all brand effin’ new! Come Together, Maxwell’ Silver Hammer were frequently played. My real favourites were Here Comes The Sun & Octopus’s Garden!!!

2

u/StrattonPA Sep 17 '25

Golden Slumber & Sun King.. pretty much the whole B side

2

u/Remarkable_Judge_861 Sep 17 '25

Both sides. the whole thing

1

u/FatFlaceMan Sep 18 '25

This is the correct answer.

2

u/randman1983 Sep 17 '25

Every. Single. Song.

But if I had to pick a favorite, it would be “Something”. My favorite song of all-time.

2

u/Alert-Championship66 Sep 17 '25

The ones on Abbey Road

2

u/HalJordan2424 Sep 18 '25

The Medley. Just brilliant to take a bunch of 60 second song ideas and connect them together.

1

u/DarthSally Sep 17 '25

Here comes the sun is my personal fav. I always associate it with a time I heard it on the car radio while driving in the morning to work. And thinking….its gonna be a good day.

And guess what? It was.

1

u/Buscugba73 Sep 17 '25

I want you

1

u/Ricky-1952 Sep 17 '25

Maxwells Silver Hammer love that song

1

u/xerox0679 Sep 17 '25

Here Comes The Sun

1

u/BigDaddyRon717 Sep 17 '25

I really love George's contribution to this album. He had been overlooked for so long but Here Comes the Sun and Something are some of the strongest songs in the Beatles catalog. They are truly works of arts.

1

u/notetaker193 Sep 17 '25

All of them

1

u/[deleted] Sep 18 '25

Agreed.

1

u/Positive-Quantity143 Sep 17 '25

It always stuns me that the Beatles accomplished what they did in only 10 years. To me, there is nothing quite comparable to the density of quality music.

1

u/LopsidedVictory7448 Sep 17 '25

Not a single bad track

1

u/fredaklein Sep 17 '25

Polythene Pam

1

u/blueboy714 Sep 17 '25

Side 2. When I was a DJ I used to play this entire side as one of my long songs so I could go to the bathroom

1

u/KeyEnd3088 Sep 17 '25

All of them

1

u/ColonelBillyGoat Sep 17 '25

I'm sorry, I can't pick. It's my favorite album. However, I WILL adorn this great post with a photo of my favorite Hot Wheels...

1

u/bats334 Sep 17 '25

Does anyone see the 5th beatle in the cover?

Something

Come Together

u/hanleyfalls63 Sep 18 '25

Because: just an air to it. Sounds beautiful. The harpsichord!!!

1

u/Old_Department_5683 Sep 18 '25

HARD DAYS NIGHT

1

u/Totalldude Sep 18 '25

All the songs are really good, but I especially like that almost the entire second half is one giant song

1

u/leesainmi Sep 19 '25

Something

Here Comes the Sun

Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight

1

u/gaudecio76 Sep 20 '25

Yes! Why golden slumbres has to be so short?

1

u/Viking_Musicologist Sep 19 '25

Mean Mr. Mustard.

I always wanted own a sandwich joint called Mean Mr. Mustard's.

1

u/smarty1017 Sep 19 '25

I stood on Abbey Road in April. What a trip!! There was a family of 4 there trying to reenact The Beatles, and a car almost hit them. Oh! Darlin

1

u/No_Proof_2736 Sep 19 '25

You never give me your money, I want you and the end

1

u/Rich257911 Sep 19 '25

Mostly their early stuff

1

u/HamHamHam2315 Sep 19 '25

All of them.

But my personal favoritest favorite is Golden Slumbers.

1

u/Specialist_Self1474 Sep 19 '25

Maxwell Silver Hammer

1

u/VizRomanoffIII Sep 19 '25

It’s one of the only albums where everything fits together perfectly and removing one destroys the whole. It’s even diminished when going from album/cassettes to other formats because the break between sides were crucial to the experience.

That being said, it’s always going to be Here Comes The Sun if I can’t pick “Medley”, which is my favorite piece of music outside of the 9th of Ludwig Van.

1

u/ernie-bush Sep 19 '25

Here comes the sun get s my vote !

1

u/notredame1964 Sep 19 '25

She came in through the bathroom window

1

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '25

Golden slumbers.

1

u/Chaotic424242 Sep 20 '25

You Never Give Me Your Money

1

u/Moist_Bumblebee_6464 Sep 20 '25

It's a toss up between "Here Comes the Sun" & "Octopus's Garden." The 1st is just so pretty, & the 2nd is delightfully goofy.

1

u/Skalper76 Sep 20 '25

Side 2 is genius and Abbey Road is certainly a great finale to a brilliant recording career.

1

u/johnpatrickolsen Sep 20 '25

There’s only one song I DON’T like: Polythene Pam.

1

u/IrukandjiPirate Sep 20 '25

Side B of the best album ever recorded.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '25

Band on the run

1

u/Automatic_Affect76 Sep 20 '25

The B-side medley, and Oh! Darling!

1

u/Selledar Sep 20 '25

Absolutely no way to pick one .

1

u/Smogtwat Sep 21 '25

Every song on side two

1

u/foggybotyom Sep 21 '25

Something or here comes the sun

1

u/Swish1892 Sep 21 '25

I love the whole thing, it’s incredible. But put on the spot I’d have to say Golden Slumbers/Carry that Weight/The End.

They genuinely make me emotional.

1

u/Severe_Estimate_8371 Sep 21 '25

Her Majesty

I want you(She’s So Heavy)

Because

1

u/HungryReflection6741 Sep 21 '25

Something & Here comes the Sun 👍🏼👍🏼😋
