... is pretty unique here!
I tend to the view that early on John and Paul helped each other achieve what probably neither could alone and later on (in the Beatles) their growing distance from each other and rivalry pushed them to continually try to trump each other.
...listening to John and Paul's compositions like "Because", "Let It Be", "Revolution", etc. from 1968-69 and realizing that these are the same two guys that wrote "She Loves You" or "I'll Get You" just 4 or 5 years earlier. I'm not knockin' their earlier stuff (my personal favorite era was the 1963 to 1966 songs), just trying to demonstrate the progression these two writers experienced mainly due to their mutual respect and competition.It is my opinion that because of John's willingness to expose his feelings, thoughts and shortcomings in his lyrics (starting as early as "Not A Second Time") and Paul's relentless pursuit of perfection, their songwriting was elevated to heights rarely seen (if at all) since.
Did either of them continue to work with George Martin after the split?
Without looking I can't remember.
Paul has continued to work with George Martin. Live and Let Die, Tug of War come to mind. I don't believe John and George worked together after the Beatles.
I also like Shaved Fish (a greatest hits) and Wings Over America almost as much."Is anyone preared to stand up and say Lennon & Macca did their best work after The Fabs?"
"Best work"? WTF is that supposed to mean? Sounds like one for the rock and roll know it alls.
Give me rhythm or give me death!
and even then you'd get a lot of arguement.
Ringo too.....

Funny you mentioned this, I was just thinking about this subject on a long drive into the "big city" yesteday. There is no way I see either of them doing better work after the Beatles, but i did ponder the idea of a disc with the best of both from periods afterwords just to see how good an album it would be.
in 1974 in the record plant. It may be bogus, a Toot and a Snore.
Although many have related to the political messages, from a purely musical perspective, Lennon's post-Fab stuff doesn't hold a candle to his Fab stuff, in my humble opinion.....Lennon was IMO one of the most-blatant examples I've ever seen in regard to a great songwriter neglecting the craft of musical composition once political messages became a major element in his music.

Interesting take. I don't know that I've ever seen the Plastic Ono Band album dismissed that cavalierly.
> Lennon was IMO one of the most-blatant examples I've ever seen in regard to a great songwriter neglecting the craft of musical composition once political messages became a major element in his music.Curious as to when you'd consider that to have happened. By the time of 'Revolution'? 'Power To The People'? If #9 Dream & Woman & Nobody Told Me represent the neglect of the craft of musical composition, then maybe more people should consider that path.
used to be a big fan in the early 70's before the activist thing got a hold of him.

I have a experience begining ....
