Who was writing better popular music in the 1960s?

Wow, the left just lies with impunity. Lennon “left”? What a douche Paul is.
Marc David Chapman shot the wrong Beatle.

Actually, they quit touring because of the cost and the mayhem and the fact, with the equipment then, no one could actually hear them live.
It was a simple business decision because, as Elvis showed, it was cheaper to make a movie and thus create music videos to promote albums. Touring back then wasn’t as big a deal as today.

Who are these 'Beatles' you guys are arguing about? (I'm too young to know.) Weren't they part of the Lawrence Welk Show?
Uh, won, uh too, uh tree...

Yeah that Let it Be Album was really a barn burner (snicker).
Do you even know your Beatles chronology? It is all relatve. The two late '60's albums you citewere very good. But vs. say Sgt. Peppers, or Rubber Soul? Apparently you do not know much about the Beatles, or have strange tastes.

Abbey Road was recorded after Let it Be. I have always thought that Pepper was overrated and prefer the two albums I mentioned.

Arguing release versus recording date is nothing but semantics. The long compliation of short songs on (core side) of Abbey Road is nothing more than random nonsense. It was like Lennon-McCartney were trying to see how ridiculous they could get. Don't get me wrong, I think it is decent work, but their best? (snicker again)
And Sgt. Pepper overrated? Why do most music afficandos quote SP when they state that a particular album was that artist's Sargent Pepper.
The work is considered a benchmark event in Music history. You are in a vast minority underscoring it's value and impact.

In terms of an individual or group releasing 3 consecutive GREAT albums, one would hard pressed to find a greater trilogy than
-Rubber Soul
-Revolver
-Sgt Pepper

Pepper is not all that highly regarded these days by Rock critics. It’s more of a symbolic triumph than a musical one.
