Very good but quite overrated. Some terribly average songs that are regarded as classics, and they pilfered the Beach Boys songs for Sargent Peppers

just to be clear: pet sounds was one of the inspirations for the creation of sgt. pepper's lonely hearts club band. in exactly the same way that rubber soul had triggered brian wilson to raise the bar in pet sounds.

According to an article in last week's Sunday Times, the Beatles wouldn't have been remembered the same way if Lennon hadn't split them up.

Nor would Jack the Rippers victims if he hadn't

According to an article in last week's Sunday Times, the Beatles wouldn't have been remembered the same way if Lennon hadn't split them up.

Exclusive: John Lennon, the lost interviews

John Lennon did many brilliant things in his life, but arguably one of his most inspired acts was his deliberate destruction of the Beatles in 1969 — just 40 years ago this month. It didn’t seem that way then, not to tens of millions of devastated Beatles fans around the world, and not to Paul McCartney, who, feeling abandoned, went off to his farm in Scotland and into a deep depression.

But if Lennon, who’d started the group that evolved into the Beatles, hadn’t murdered his creation at that moment, if the band had somehow struggled on through their rows into the 1970s, I doubt that you’d be reading this article today.

By killing the Beatles before they could disappoint us, as they inevitably would have done when music fashions changed and the band’s later albums didn’t quite live up to the ones we still love, Lennon froze them for ever at their peak.

According to a biography of the Beatles I read in the 1980s their last joint effort was in fact Ringo's album. According to that version, they helped Ringo so that he could put some serious dosh in the bank and maintain the lifestyle to which he had become accustomed.
