The Beatles -- Let It Be

  This album was a complete mess from the start, what you've got is a crumbling band who've turned into individuals rather than members in a solid unit.  All the issues, politics and bullsh*t aside I think if you break the album up in parts, you can see the group's past, present and future in the record, for example; you've got a couple skiffle/ rock 'n' roll numbers (Maggie Mae and One After 909) from their past, some Lennon/ McCartney (Two Of Us and I've Got A Feeling) classics for their present, and the individually written tracks foreshadowing each of their future solo careers (Lennon, Dig A Pony and Across The Universe, McCartney, Let It Be & The Long And Winding Road and Harrison's I Me Mine and For You Blue).  In conclusion Let It Be may not be The Beatles at their best but they did perfect the art of a band wrapping it up.

The Doors


  The only album that truly exemplifies the brilliance that The Doors were supposed to have!  With the exception of The End, I found that their sound is more of a gothic surfer Blues rather than a psychedelic freakout.
