Abbey Road is the eleventh studio album by the English rock band the Beatles, released on 26 September 1969 by Apple Records.

Why is Abbey Road so famous?

7. George Harrison's best writing. “Something” and “Here Comes The Sun” are two of Harrison's finest, and they're both on Abbey Road — along with various alternative takes and arrangements on side two / recent remasters which are a must-listen for big fans.

Why did Abbey Road come out before Let It Be?

Let It Be was originally titled Get Back, produced by Glyn Johns. However, The Beatles were not happy with the project and due to this combined with the fact that they were also falling apart during the sessions, they decided to shelve the project.
