I forgot to mention this in the episode, but 'II' eventually unseated 'Abbey Road' from the top spot on the charts. In this way, with the Beatles' breakup privately decided and (relatively) soon-to-be-announced, this album really functioned as a passing of the torch from the Beatles, who ruled the '60s, to Zeppelin, who would rule the '70s in much the same way...Support the showSubscribe to Rock Talk with Dr. Cropper +Instagram & TikTok — @rocktalk.dr.cropperTwitter — @RockTalkDrCroppFacebook, LinkedIn & YouTube — Rock Talk with Dr. CropperEmail — rocktalk.dr.cropper@gmail.com
