Abbey+Road+Studios

Abbey Road is probably one of the most known roads in the world. And probably the best known road to classic rock fans. Abbey Road contains a zebra crossing, what we call a crosswalk. It is located in the Greater London area in the city of Westminster, and is right by the most famous recording studios Abbey Road Studios. Mid-afternoon, August 8, 1969 four men got pictured walking across the road giving it is fame. The Beatles used the picture on their eleventh album simply called Abbey Road. This would be the last album they put out, which was only done because all members of the band thought //Let It Be// was a flop. Although, //Let It Be// was released a year after //Abbey Road//. The band was in a lot of problems during the session of making //Abbey Road//. Tensions were high between all the band members. Which is why the album has so many different sounds. Critics weren't pleased with the album. But it remains as The Beatles best selling album. Other bands that have recorded in the studio are the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Adele, Rush,Queen,Pink Floyd, Panic! At the Disco, Lady GaGa, The Killers, Michal Jackson, Green Day, Florence and the Machine, and many others. Tons of fans visit London every year just to see this road and remake the cover of The Beatles.A live camera was installed in December 2007, and can be seen on AbbeyRoad.com. Also in December 2007 it was officially listed as a place of cultural and historical importance. When you are there you can even sign your name on the sign saying you visited.
