well folks they were known as the greatest band ever, for some reason or another
but how did the fab four go after they pulled the plug after 9 years (albeit it was 9 very long years) of a being together as a band?
undoubtedly, having being the greatest band at their time, a lot of their solo career and whatever they did was going to be covered by the british press
John Lennon - he was the one to bridge being experimental (the Plastic Ono Band) with romanticism later on in his career. critics often believe the best of john lennon's solo stuff (Imagine, Merry Xmas (War is Over), Mind Games, Instant Karma) is better than the best of the beatles
George Harrison - he was the experimental beatle with regards to his music, starting out with one of the biggest solo debuts in All Things Must Pass. He tended to stay out of the limelight with regards to the press.
Paul McCartney - he went barking up the tree of being another Elton John, any adult contemporary station would still play his Wings/ Band on the Run stuff. he gets known as the 'uncool beatle' because of that
Ringo Starr - he cashed in on his beatles fame and made hits like 'Youre Sixteen', 'It Dont Come Easy' and 'Photograph', perhaps the luckiest man ever in the music industry to be that 'fourth member' to work alongside Lennon, Harrison and McCartney
unknown bits of trivia about the beatles solo careers
George Harrison was the first one to release a solo album, the no holds barred, 'all in' extravaganza "All Things Must Pass", songs which the Beatles decided against releasing as part of their band's albums : Isnt It A Pity, All Things Must Pass (title track) and My Sweet Lord, what was the Beatles loss was Harrison's gain
Ringo Starr was the first beatle in their solo careers to perform a concert in the USSR (thats a $250000 question right there!)
