The Beatles breaking up was sinful... I dont think their legacy is that great because they only lasted 7 years. Their legacy is what it is because those songs were the best ever. That band would never have a "right" time to break up, IMO. They should have gone on for as long as Lennon was alive

If you combine the best songs from the Beatles members first solo album's you have a ridiculously good album. I mean ridiculosuly good. Far , far better than Let It Be.
The Beatles could have gone a few more albums easily. If not many more.
But yeh being self contained within one decade alone was a good idea.

The Beatles did it all in such a short space of time and now their legacy is the without a doubt the greatest of any band in history. Every band since has been compared to them. If they had carried on after the enjoyment died then perhaps their legacy wouldn't be so great. The Beatles released 12 (13 if you count Yellow Submarine) albums in less than a decade. That is unbelievable! I mean, what band can even say that? Not many, I'm sure. They were truly amazing. It proves that it's all about hard work. They worked harder than any other band and it paid off. |

I'm no Jam-expert. What were the circumstances of their break up?

I'm no Jam-expert. What were the circumstances of their break up? Weller (age 24 at that time) wanted to do something new. You can clearly hear that he was searching for the new direction in "The Gift". They tried something very different, like a song like Circus, yet The Gift was/still is a great album which included one of my most favourite Jam songs "Ghosts". They announced their breaking up in an British naitonal newspaper. They were top of the world when they broke up and no band in the world has done in the same way as they did. A great, great, great band. |

A great, great, great band. Totally agree mimmi, big fan of 'The Gift' too, but given how far Weller was wanting to take what started with 'The Gift' I think it was the right time for The Jam to end and this radical new sound/image to be explored with a brand new band. There was enough of a Style Council backlash unfortunately, would've been even worse if he'd tried to do it with The Jam. |

Up until 66. The Beatles were a pop band , so churning t lps was no great shakes , Meet the beatles ?? Please Agreed, most of their early stuff has tons of filler on it - and I mean really, really bland stuff, not what we would call filler on an Oasis album. Even the best songwriters of all time can't just write, produce and record 15-20 brillant songs a year (except for 1966/67 I guess?). The Smiths pretty much did that, of course, with at least six albums worth of material in 4-5 years. R.E.M.. It was a shame, of course, but they just got out of the only slump in their entire career, made two really good albums, and called it a day. They did 15 albums and ended things when they were great again, absolutely the right thing to do. i don't know. as much as i liked R.E.M. i kind of think they stayed on a little too long. They could have broken up in 1996/97 when the drummer had to leave - I'd say Up, Around the Sun and Reveal (especially the latter) are easily career lows. But then again, Accelerate and Collapse Into Now more than made up for that. |

R.E.M. should have broke up in 1996, they were crap after New Adventures.

Nirvana very rightfully broke up after Kurt's death (in one of the easiest decisions ever made by any band ever), however if you're factoring out Kurt's death then no, no way. It's one of the major reasons they're so missed. For me, a perfect band break up should be early on during a downward trend, something Nirvana we're clearly not on, however I get that many people like a band to end on a high note. The White Stripes also fit that description, whiles't Led Zeppelin fits the former more so. Not arguing that they should not have broken up but other bands have stayed together after their lead singer died. Ac/dc were bigger after their singer died. |

It's certainly not impossible but it's a difficult job replacing a lead singer. Not only did Nirvana lose their lead singer and guitarist, but their songwriter too. I'm no AC/DC expert but I doubt Bon Scott wrote all the songs. |

The first REM album I ever got was in 2004 Around the Sun, I thought it was a great album, its the ones that followed which were a bit dull. Just repeating themselves.
Nirvana would still be around if Kurt Cobain wasn't MURDERED by his psycho reptilian blood drinking wife...or "associate who wasn't going to get any money."
To me Oasis never ended.. at all, anyway it was hardly Oasis without Allan White, or Guigsy or Bonehead.
Tony McCarrol should come back as a drummer but what I see happening is the reformation for some live shows of the band from Definitely Maybe album tours. But I see Liam doing it first and then Noel rejoining. Probably next year. Then Noel will write some songs and Liam will too and they will get Owen Morris doing another album with them. Bring back some of the sound they once had.

I do wonder what would of happened if Crowded House had made their next album in 1996 and gone on tour in 1997.

Winter Rose. Kevin (James) LaBrie joining Dream Theater was a bold but successful move.

The Verve broke up in the fuckin' wrong time. They probably were the best band in the world in 97-98. And in 2007 their moment was gone of course. Also the Libertines fucked up all in 2003-2004. They were young and talented but I think that some processes are inevitable for some bands.
Arctic Monkeys that in my opinion are the best band in this moment, differently are carrying on in the right way. The still had very good prospective for the future. They still make great music and they are still really close friends.
