And it took them a while, but eventually, they all got over the band breakup and went on to carve out very successful single careers. McCartney in particular had huge commercial and ultimate critical success with Wings, movie soundtracks (James Bond), and even composing classical music (Oratorios). Lennon went on to write one of the most inspiring and incredible songs for the ages (Imagine) right before his death.Quite right--both of these albums were recorded in 1969--months apart. The Abbey Road sessions with all of its classic material was the last time they recorded together. Far from being crap it represented a very suitable departure and they went out when they were on top of their game, unlike so many other bands that became self parodies. How many entertainers in sports, movies or music can make the claim that they started with a bang and finished with a bang?---precious few.
