I never think of the Beatles as John or Paul, George......

I can only think of them as a band.

Now, the solo careers are a completely different thing...

His 2 biggest solo hits were essentially written by George. It Don't Come Easy and Photograph.

He was on a lot of drugs. He wanted to do something avant-garde with Yoko. George was in on it, too. It isn't really a song, let alone a Beatles song. It being on the album was probably John pushing back at Paul over his control-freakedness.

Yeah, the Beatles was more than the sum of its parts.

Yellow Submarine is John and Paul. It was the flip side of the Eleanor Rigby single in Canada/US.

If you wanted to be in on the art music scene invading pop music at that time, then musique concrète was where it was at. A lot of it sounds like Revolution No. 9 and it probably took untold amount of time to splice all those sounds together.

I take an interest in those early electronic music pioneers, but the pieces can definitely be a challenge to listent to. Still more enjoyable than serialist music.

drugs.
one day, out of the blue, one of my bros says,
"anybody who was ever great, they all took drugs"
"without drugs, no one is great"

and i'm like
"what about bobby fischer?"
"and bowie's berlin trilogy albums?"
