Quite true. Each Beatle's solo albums always had 2-3 good to great songs. This is pretty much what each would bring to a Beatles album too, but collectively, that would give them 6-10 really great tracks per album. They never could possibly deliver entire albums of greatness (or even "really good"ness) year after year individually.
Put another way, each Beatles album could be looked at as a 'best of' each member at that point in time. A "greatest hits" collection every 6 months or so, really. But no one person would be able to keep that pace (even they couldn't, eventually).
- Tycho 9y agoWe could have had at least five more years of classic Beatles albums if they hadn’t split up in 1970, just based of what songs they went on to write. And probably longer owing to the creative atmosphere and competitiveness within the group setting.
