Maybe they should have. Whether they did not, who knows?
Sad story either way.
Sgt Peppers, Abbey Rd, Yesterday and Today, Revolver and Rubber Soul were all better than the White Album.
I still had my original copy complete with the four pictures and poster. My daughter has all my old Beatles albums now.
Great band, great album. I like Rubber Soul a bit better, along with Revolver.
My friends used to listen to the White Album in their dorm room when we hanged out. I was saying to myself, “Really???”.
After years of reading about them, it’s amazing that so many good songs came out of these sessions. You can sense the boredom. It was a terrible way to create music. It’s a wonder they didn’t kill each other.

Agree. Lennon was the talent. That McCartney is still alive and playing impresses me not at all.

I’m a musician which means I may listen differently from non-musicians but I found Sgt. Pepper’s to be a musical revelation. The White Album, not so much, though it has its moments.
McCartney is the luckiest man alive today.
Without Lennon, he would have been lucky to have found a gig as a studio musician in his later years. Even though he played several instruments well. And had perfect pitch in his voice.
And none of us would ever have heard of him.
Sgt Pepper is the dullest blandest Beatle record of all.
Lennon even said most of it was filler. He transcribed a poster to get something finished.
“Im a musician which means I may listen differently from non-musicians but I found Sgt. Peppers to be a musical revelation.”
Thank George Martin.
The truly revolutionary Beatles album was Revolver.
I prefer early Beatles to the later Beatles. The early stuff had way more energy and passion.
...
I do too. They were basically a live band only when they started, but they also made a pretty good studio only band a few years later.
Check this out:
The Beatles - Live at Washington Coliseum, 1964 Full
A couple of days after the Sullivan appearance, they were great in spite of some glitches with the equipment.
Macca has very good stage presence and great musical ideas on bass. He needs a co-writer, which used to be standard procedure.
Lennon had different abilities and together they made a good songwriting team.
Neither was as good alone as they were together.
Imagine? *Puke*
Elton John and Bernie Taupin were a great team also.
The most recorded song in pop history was written by two collaborators. It has been recorded by over 300 artists. I played for the guy who had the first big hit with it. He and it won Best Country Song of 1984 at the CMA awards (the artist was not one of the writers). 5 years later Bette Midler covered it and got the hit that everyone remembers. Prior to both of those efforts, it was recorded by Roger Whitaker and a few others without taking off.
Guess that tune.
That sounded like Bob Uecker chasing around an errant knuckleball............. chasing it around like a chicken, picking it up as it finally settled down.
I found a lot of greatness there to study and steal but that’s just me. Mainly I benefited from Sir George Martin’s work on that record. It was what he did with the not so great raw material that made the album.
There were others like Phil Spector who had that kind of talent.
What Lennon says is meaningless. He contradicted himself all the time.
