Who?

Nobody.

They had grown from each other and wanted more freedom. They should have take a break like many bands do today. Maybe in 1968. This way they would have lasted longer. Huge bands today take 2-4 years between albums and it´s considered normal. In 1964 the Beatles released two albums, top that! Of course this is not normal but the music buisness then was much different than it is today.

Oops I copied the wrong link.  This should be the right link http://www.beatles-discography.com/appendicies/court-case.html About What Opportunity knocks said,  Would it really be a good thing If the beatles stayed together?  I mean look at the Rolling stones, they have been together so long people are sick of them.  Maybe the Beatles would have still been good in the 70s but in the 80s they would have fallen from grace.  The music of that time is much different than the late 60s and 70s.  Even though the Beatles broke up in a sad way, they went out with a good album.

I reackon musicaly Abbey Road shows they could have survived the early 70's at least. It definately owes more to what was comming than what had been.
So I think they had maybe another 2 albums in them. But  breaking up in 1970 is a great marketting ploy. Their music is now nicely packaged forever tied with the 60's

Ugly stuff. Sad. But it appears that Paul broke up The Beatles. If he'd only waited, Klien would have been out of the picture. But since these things can't be undone, it would appear that the Beatles quit at the right time to ensure their legendary status forever. But I think they could have went on forever without peope 'getting sick of them.'

The Beatles themselves broke up. I don't believe one person could do that all on their own if the relationships were completly stable and trustworthy. They just broke up. Sooner or later every band does... The fortunate part is atleast we had them for almost a decade

I think Heart has it right. But, sketchy as my knowledge is, I wonder if there might have been a push and pull effect within this complex affair; Paul pushing the others too far with his leadership intentions, and pushing John away, and Yoko pulling John away. Let's not forget how the British press couldn't respect Ono much, but the U.S. press did. America must have looked attractive to them both. And, of course, George was very fed up of John and Paul dominating the band.

I finally figured out who broke up the beatles!! are you ready for this?!?




























































































































































































IT WAS MARTHA!!!!

I still like to give Yoko credit. Just cuz it's sounds so good. I mean, if not, then all the Yoko jokes would stop and they're just too good to have come to an end.  

Brian Epstein.

I've finally figured it out!  God broke up the Beatles.  Yes, it was the Almighty Himself, God the Father, incensed at Lennon's claim that the Beatles were "bigger than Jesus,"  and fearful that if they continued to make music they might one day be bigger than Himself.  The prospect of the four liverpudlian moptops running the universe were just too much for the Big Guy to handle so he made the fateful decision to allow Yoko Ono to ingratiate herself into the Fab Four's company (just as he allowed the snake into the Garden of Eden).  And then he threw in Allen Klein for good measure.  

"Bigger than Jesus, my a**," God is reported to have said as the Beatles crumpled like a pansy under the dual assault of Klein and Ono.  

God takes no credit for the work of Phil Spector on "Let it Be" although admits that He prefers the original arrangements, heavy with orchestras and angelic choirs, to the stripped-down "Let it Be Naked."

Says God, "What can I say, I'm a creature of habit."

^LOL!!

John meant they were TALLER than Jesus.

John meant they were TALLER than Jesus.

... but I insist: not at 5.11 but 5.9 aprox.  

They were with each other since they were teenagers, they'd had enough.
They were grown men who wanted their OWN lives, not to be Beatles anymore.

Personally I'd rather be in a band than go solo, but it doesn't really make sense why any of them would want to leave the most famous group ever
