Hello,

I’ve been a fan of the Beatles for as long as I can remember, but I have a question about the breakup that confuses me.

So it’s well established that John told the group that he was leaving in Sep. 1969, right before Abbey Road was released. We also are well aware that McCartney announced the breakup in April. 1970 prior to the release of McCartney. This upset John.

My question is, if John wasn’t gonna announce it, and he didn’t want Paul to do it, who was gonna announce it. I assume that they probably would’ve remained silent until after Let It Be, but were they just never gonna announce their breakup and just let the public figure it out. I know this sounds kind of dumb, but I’ve been wondering.

The Strokes - First Impressions of Earth : This one probably will never be covered just based on the revival the Strokes have had this decade, but this album pretty much killed the momentum they had from the first two albums. This bizarre attempt to go mainstream pretty much lead to the nearly 15 years of the band turmoil, label disputes, and strange albums.

Hot Space - Queen : This one probably has the most likely chance of becoming a trainwreckord episode. Queen’s bizarre half assed attempt of making disco pop goes terribly wrong. After this album, Queen never reclaimed the fame they had before. Yes, Live Aid helped boost their career, but they never again had the same success they had before this (At least when Freddie was alive).

Give My Regards To Broadstreet - Paul McCartney : This one will just be funny. Paul was experiencing a mild career comeback after the dissolution of Wings, with his collaborations with Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson, but this album/movie where he butchers a ton of classic Beatles/Wings is unexplainable.

Head - The Monkees : After getting their show cancelled by NBC, The Monkees make a weird drug induced movie which turned off their entire fanbase. I actually love this album, as it has so many good songs, but it 100% ruined their career

Human After All - Daft Punk : This one will never get covered just based on the heights Daft Punk achieved with RAM, but this is one of the most confusing albums I’ve ever heard

2300 Jackson Street - The Jacksons : Years after Michael left, The Jacksons make a strange attempt at a career renaissance. It’s not bad, but it explains why they never recorded any again and stuck to being a legacy act
