I saw Paul, George and Ringo play (with Julian Lennon) in about 1999, nearly 25 years ago!! Was a good evening. It always amazes me how many good and relatively unknown songs the Beatles had.
You have to be pig ignorant about music to come out with that kind of comment

In fairness, it needs to be pointed out that that bloke is actually three blokes: Michael Shrieve – drums
José "Chepito" Areas – percussion, conga, timbales
Michael Carabello, percussion and conga

The GOAT is whoever the bloke is who did drumming/percussion on Santana's Black Magic Woman - the extended version with the long instrumental ending. Never heard anything better regarding drumming and all that.

Very true
Among very famous artists, I would say only Van Morrison lasted for a long time at his peak, maybe 25 years from 1965-90. He's been crap for decades now, of course.

Most bands/musicians only produce really good stuff for a brief period which then represents a smaller and smaller proportion of their career as time goes on.
This ‘golden’ period is perhaps 5 to 10 years long, in which they produce the songs that are the bedrock of their career for decades to come. If the band splits and there are subsequent solo careers, the majority of people are only tolerating it, hoping that the original band will reform and play their classics together again.
Think about bands you like. If they’ve been active for 30 or more years, how interested is anyone in their more recent output compared to the ‘old stuff’? The stuff that people really want to hear when they play live.
I’m sure people will immediately think of exceptions to this, but they are rare exceptions.

Burnham , they didn’t write all those songs , it was nie on impossible for that to happen , like you say they were young men in their twenties, if you take it they were together from 63 to 70 , that’s seven years in that time they made five feature length films , non stop world wide touring up to the mid sixties , non stop interviews ,etc plus all the things young men get up to ,they didn’t have time to write a lot of those songs , definitely up to when they stopped touring ,sure they wrote the big hits and the late albums but there’s no way they didn’t have other people getting involved

Just seen a documentary in the Beatles Touring years. Early sixties to Let It Be in 69. They were saying that the Beatles were more prolific than Mozart and Shubert. At one point were asked to produce a song every 3 weeks. To produce that many hits in their 20s is a tremendous feat.

Re: The Beatles post-Beatles

Every fibre of my being wants to argue with this but I can't. I've just finished watching the umpteen hours of the 'Let It Be' thing and I just sat there joyously lapping up every minute. What a band and it was inevitable they could never be more than the sum of their parts, I guess. I have 'Band on the Run' and a couple of solo Macca efforts that people have bought for me and they are OK but, seriously, I never think 'Ohh I'd like to hear Flaming Pie today' Macca unfairly got slated for some of his output but Lennon really was pretty poor. I was actually playing 'All Things Must Pass' recently and it's probably my fav after BonR but every time I just wish we could have more them together.

From percussion news: "One of Ringo's great qualities was that he composed very unique and stylistic drum parts for the Beatles songs.
His parts are so signature to the songs that you can listen to a Ringo drum part without the rest of the music and still identify the song."
As far as the discussion around other drummers is concerned, look no further than the drummers on Steely Dan's Aja album. I give you Steve Gadd, Bernard Purdie, Rick Marotta, Paul Humphrey, Jim Keltner and Ed Greene.

Barring the odd hiccup, McCartney’s music post Beatles has been very good. Harrison and Lennon’s is more hit and miss.
Top 3 Solo Beatles albums -
1. All Things Must Pass - George Harrison
2. RAM - Paul & Linda McCartney
3. Imagine - John Lennon
Yeah, I know all early 70’s.
