Guess again.And again.
A band doesn't last forever and I think there are several people you can blame for this breakup, but in the end, there wasn't much left for them to do. I disagree with Ydoll and Indy that Abbey Road was a bad album and think there were some superb songs, along with a few bad ones ( but what album doesn't have a 'Her Majesty' or 'Polythene Pam'). However, I do agree that their later works wouldn't have been as genius as their work in their prime. You can't be a good band if the members don't cooperate and John's paranoia
i think what we thought was a beatle was different than what they thought.
and 2 parts Pete Best
Definitely ego, huge egos. John said, "there just wasn't enough room for 4 egos on one album anymore."But then, The Rolling Stones didn't break up. The Beach Boys are still a band. Even Queen is touring this summer. The Beatles were just TOO big. I guess? I mean, it was pretty ugly for a few years. If, as is said, they put all that behind them, I guess we should too.
The biggest part of Queen is dead, however. That's sans one ego
The Stones are Keith and Mick. Wyman has said he gave up suggesting anything musically. The other band members rode the 'gravy train.' Beach Boys didn't write, except Brian. The Beatles were all song writers with creative ideas. Too much energy. It imploded.
