Abbey Road

Abbey Road', released 26 September 1969, is the 11th album released by the Beatles. It is the last album that all the Beatles participated on before they all got sick and tired of John Lennon's villanous, Japanese, greedy souled, sideways snach, backstabbing, yellow Waifu Yoko Ono trying to run the show and broke them up just after their final album Let It Be released. The album is mostly known for George Harrison's magnum opus Something along with other well known songs like Here Comes the Sun and the Chuck Berry inspired song Come Together by John Lennon that was written as a campaign song for Timothy Leary when he ran against Ronald Reagan for governor of California. Most people will recognize it by the cover version from Aerosmith.

Musically it is well received but it is best known for starting the pre-internet IRL meme of people visiting England and recreating the iconic album cover to send home to friends and family as a postcard when the pictures were developed. More recently it is known for all the butthurt One Direction started with Beatles fans when they copied the classic album cover in 2015 and claimed that they were "More Popular Than The Beatles".

Get it. In a March 1966 interview with The London Evening Standard John Lennon claimed "The Beatles Were More Popular Than Jesus" so by saying One Direction is more popular than the Beatles you are saying they are ultimately more popular than Jesus. Such clever word play.
