Best Albums of 1969
Ranked by our critic's grades, best first.
Abbey RoadThey knew it was the last one and they went out arranging, not arguing. The medley is the finest ending in pop.Read the review
From Elvis in MemphisHe goes home, hires a soul band, sings about poverty and adultery, and makes the best album of his career.
Yellow SubmarineFour new songs, two reused ones and a side of orchestral film score. A contractual object, not an album.
