Music fans say two Beatles songs have 'greatest transition' they've ever heard
By Ewan Gleadow,
16 days agoDevotees of the iconic band The Beatles have hailed two tracks from the group as the "greatest transition of all time".
The art of song transitions, where one tune seamlessly flows into another, was a technique that The Beatles perfected on their Abbey Road album. This 1969 masterpiece is celebrated as one of the greatest albums ever made, and to this day in 2025, it continues to excite fans with its inventive craftsmanship.
Legends Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr earned acclaim for their collective genius at the time of Abbey Road's release – a sentiment that endures years later.

A recent post to X saw enthusiasts label the medley section of the album's B-side as one of music history’s most remarkable feats.
The spotlight shone bright on Golden Slumbers and Carry That Weight, both authored and belted out by McCartney, which have been stunning listeners since they hit the airwaves in 1969.
A fan wrote: "Literally the greatest song transition of all time." Additionally, some aficionados called attention to other Beatles song transitions that they adore.
One commenter claimed: "I actually think that the transition from Carry That Weight to The End - with Ringo's drum solo and Paul's unforgettable vocal Oh Yeah, All Right! - is even better. But the whole album is the ultimate masterpiece, and probably my favorite album of all time!"
Another added: "Literally have never listened to one without listening to the other – that transition kills me every time it's so perfect."
One fan wrote: "When the melody from 'you never give me your money' is reused in 'carry that weight' but with all the horns... I cry every time it's so good."
Another fan argued that the transition between Polythene Pam and She Came in Through the Bathroom Window, which appears earlier in the album, is just as impressive as the one between Golden Slumbers and Carry That Weight.
When it comes to transitions, The Beatles fans really are spoilt for choice!
