I just wanted to make a topic about ranking songs, in this case the songs from the Abbey Road Medley, and if you want "Her Majesty" as well. Here's the playlist in actual order:
You Never Give Me Your Money -> Sun King -> Mean Mr. Mustard -> Polythene Pam -> She Came In Through the Bathroom Window
Golden Slumbers -> Carry That Weight -> The End ———————————————--> Her Majesty .
and here's my list (there are 9 songs totally):
9) Her Majesty
8) Mean Mr. Mustard
7) The End
6) Carry That Weight
5) You Never Give Me Your Money
4) Sun King
3) She Came In Through the Bathroom Window
2) Polythene Pam
1) Golden Slumbers

1 – Sun King> Love the gibberish and as I speak Spanish and French, I understand a bit of it. Typical of John to get 'Chicka Ferdy' somewhere in there.
2 – Polythene Pam> why? you may ask. Just because of this:oh you should see polythene pam, she's so good-looking but she looks like a man
3 – She Came In Through The Bathroom Window> Written after a slightly strange encounter, result:slightly strange song. Strange is good though.
4 – The End> Lovely.
5 – Golden Slumbers> Also lovely.
6 – Carry That Weight
7 – You Never Give Me Your Money
8 – Mean Mr. Mustard> I feel bad for putting it so far down the list but I prefere all the previous ones, sorry.
9 – Her Majesty>Always try and sing-a-long to this one. And never quite manage to.
I've just realised that it's the wrong way round, I should have started with the one that I least like. Oh dear, sorry but I'm not changing it now. I've already given myself a headache by trying to work out which one was my least-favourite. My apologies Her Majesty.

9. Sun King (as an individual song it's a bit boring I think but in the medley it's good I like the change from you never give me your money to sun king and from sun king to mean mr. mustard so in the medley it's much better than her majesty)
8. Her Majesty (they shouldn't have recorded it)
7. Polythene Pam (good songs but I prefer other songs)
6. Mean Mr. Mustard (the same as polythene pam)
5. Carry That Weight (I like the little solo after the first chorus very much)
4. The End (very nice with it's solo and the piano part)
3. You Never Give Me Your Money (awesome song with it's many parts)
2. She Came In Through The Bathroom Window (i think the best rock song next to get back)
1. Golden Slumber (the finest ballad of all time)

I don't consider Her Majesty part of the medley so I won't include it my ranking:
8) Sun King (nice riff but low-tempo and seems TOO long)
7) Mean Mr Mustard
6) Carry That Weight
5) Polythene Pam (although I love the backing vocals)
4) You Never give me your money
3) She came in through the bathroom window (especially the chorous)
2) The End (nice rock song but EPIC ending)
1) Golden Slumbers (Paul's vocals)

Nice list, FlyOn13, ours are basically the same. We just have Carry That Weight and Sun King switched.

09) Her Majesty: Alright, I'll just come out and say it--I don't feel this song is needed on the album; I feel it's just distracting. I think The Beatles would have really had something if they had ended the album with "The End": it just feels like…well…the end of the album, and I think throwing in what I consider to be a filler song after such a beautiful finale takes away from the stupefied numbness you experience after the medley. And if this song is so great, why do so many listeners always forget it's there?
08) Carry That Weight: Although an excellent intro into "The End" and a summation of what their lives would be like after The Beatles, I feel it's too much of a sequel to "You Never Give Me Your Money" rather than a strong song of itself.
07) Sun King: I believe this to be John's worst contribution to the album. Paul contributed some beautiful backing harmonies and the music itself takes on a very dream-like quality…but the song as a whole is enough to put me to sleep in comparison with almost every other song in the medley!
06) Mean Mister Mustard: The conclusion of "Sun King" provides a lovely transition into this song…and let's face it: a louder, more up-tempo song was definitely needed after that bizarre lullaby.
05) Polythene Pam: This song is enough to bring an instant grin to my face. The quirkiness is electric, and the silliness of it all is intensified when listened to directly after "Mean Mister Mustard": the placing of this song in the medley's line-up is nothing less than perfect. Typical Lennon humor…and don't I love it!
04) Golden Slumbers: What a lovely little ballad from Paul. The music is beautiful, the lyrics are beautiful, and he somehow manages to make his voice as beautiful as the instrumentation itself. In short, a beautiful song.
03) The End: Guitar solos from each of the boys and a drum solo from Ringo! What more could a girl ask for? The last line of the song seems to sum up a message they tried to make clear over the course of their entire career: "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make". And, boy, did they make us all fall in love…with them!
02) She Came In Through The Bathroom Window: I just love the silliness and playfulness of this song. The title itself sparks enough curiosity within the listener to keep coming back for more. And knowing the origin of "She Came In Through The Bathroom" makes this song even more delightful and entertaining.
01) You Never Give Me Your Money: I enjoy this song immensely. Not once has it ever been skipped on my iPod, and there's no difficulty in seeing why. It feels like a medley within itself: almost like Paul's own take on the style of "Happiness Is A Warm Gun". McCartney songwriting win!
