this. add to that Maxwell's Silver Hammer and anything else Ringo tried to write.
things really turned out the wrong way for the Beatles. John got shot, Paul got divorced, George got cancer and Ringo is still alive.

Yeah.... you're pretty much on the money. Octopus' Garden is just plain stupid (Although it gives me a few chuckles), as well as Maxwell's Silver Hammer. Both weak points on Abbey Road for me. Also, I seem to be the only person who thinks this, but I find I Want You (She's So Heavy) to be really boring. I realize it's supposed to be hypnotic or whatever but I think John could have cut it a bit shorter. |

It worked both ways though. John didn't really have the same handle on composition that George and Paul had, so when he stopped inviting them into his creative process, his songs tended to be suffer. I Want You is a prime example. It just meanders without really going anywhere. The Beatles really worked best as a unit. The sum of the parts was much greater than the individuals. Unfortunately, they weren't really working together by the time Abbey Road rolled around. |
