sure look like a family here:
They were certainly drifting apart at this time, like most all bands do eventually. John and George in particular had had enough. Paul was trying desperately to keep them together, he has said as much.
But they were "brothers", too, so I agree they were still a "family" during the filming for "Let It Be". But they all knew it was ending, hence their final album being the majestic "Abbey Road", ending with the song "The End".

Ringo packed canned beans in his luggage when the Beatles went to India. Oh, wait, this probably isn't new (enough).I do look forward to the time when someone posts something about the Beatles on LTG that is new and different
Always thought The Scarabs would be a good band name.
Yes, I agree -- with the exception of "She's Leaving Home" and "A Day In the Life"I thought sgt peppers was pretty terrible.
I've packed canned beans in my luggage ever since I heard The Beatles first album. They're Great!Ringo packed canned beans in his luggage when the Beatles went to India. Oh, wait, this probably isn't new (enough).
I fully expect… and can tolerate and even laugh with negative opinions about ANY artist. You however crossed the line and gave negative opinions of the überfans themselves! That includes me! Music should be passion, especially on a music centric Internet forum. If a person is just putting their finger on a predetermined fret while plucking a predetermined string like a robot…with zero emotional attachment, may I suggest putting your instrument back in it’s case and take up needlepoint or something. I personally applaud anyone who finds a real true love in an artist that can’t be outgrown. If a particular artist isn’t your cup’o, why even chime in? I’m certainly one of the younger regular members here at 56 yrs old and my real passion is in blues based hard rock music of the late 60’s and 70’s. There are countless threads here talking about artists from the 50’s/60’s that I could give 2¢ about, but I’m not about to chime in and tell people their musical tastes and passions are in question. The only time I ever wrote anything negative on this board about an artist was about the universally loathed band Nickleback, and you deleted it. I guess opinions only count if they come from a moderator. On that note, I think I’ll be taking an extended break from here. Seems etiquette doesn’t apply to everyone.Had the OP not used the word "overrated" I would not have responded. It's the difference between discussing a musician and discussing people's reactions to the musician. The latter is my problem because decades of reactions to the Beatles posted on LTG has identified fans who will not tolerate the expression of any negative opinion about the band.

Didn't know Daltry went with them -- heck, another new fact about the Beatles!
