If The Beatles had made one more album together in 1970-71

Pick songs from the respective members' solo albums (Lennon's God and How Do You Sleep? obviously discounted) up to and including 1971, that you think would have made it onto an official band release and been "Beatley".

I'll save my own suggestion for later on!


Edit: I just found out that "Woman is the Nigger of The World" by John, released in 1972, dates back to 1968. That early, huh?

    if Abbey Road was any indication, as well as the state of rock music at the time, I think that a 1970 Beatles album would have been very guitar driven.

    Abbey Road is also pretty Moog driven ... but the studio was notoriously antiquated. I wonder if The Beatles would have moved out to other studios, using Olympic more, or even Electric Lady in New York?

    Let It Be.
    'Abbey Road' is the perfect way to end their career.

    Yeah, but say Yoko ran off with Kate Millett, or somethin', back in 1970. C'mon, hypothefookinsise! :D

    I agree with Cosmo....it ended properly. Yoko is not solely to blame....that said, I am not a fan of hers, but there were other issues.

    Ever see the 'Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus'?
    Recorded in 1968, there is a super group comprised of John Lennon on vocals and guitar, Eric Clapton in his prime on lead guitar, Keith Richards on bass and Hendrix drummer Mitch Mithchell on drums. They do a GREAT version of 'Yer Blues' and start off this great old style blues jam that sounds fucking amazing... then... Yoko steps up to the mic. She starts screaming like a fucking monkey, totally ruining it.
    "Hey Yoko, shut the fuck up and crawl back into the goddamn bag!!!"
    ...
    Plus... The Who. 'A Quick One' that previews how and why they will become the greatest live act of the 1970s... argueably, of all time.

    That woman gives Banshees a bad name.....awful, awful sounds spill from her mouth. You really can't call what she does "singing."

    Another trivia fact about the "Circus".......the version of Jethro Tull seen there included a new guitarist for the band...who would soon go back to his other mates in a band called Earth...later to be known as Black Sabbath..Tony Iommi was that guitarist.

    It Don't Come Easy by Ringo has got to be in there.

    Edit: I could talk for hours about that ill-fated Stones special, but that would be hijackin' me own feckin' thread. :p

    SIDE 1
    1. What Is Life
    2. Remember
    3. Every Night
    4. Watching Rainbows
    5. Gimme Some Truth
    6. Imagine


    SIDE 2
    1. Instant Karma
    2. All Things Must Pass
    3. I Don't Want To Be A Soldier
    4. Jealous Guy
    5. Junk
    6. Maybe I'm Amazed

    It's a bit Lennon-heavy, but I think this was his peak period. I would have liked to include more songs from Plastic Ono Band (Mother, I Found Out & God) but these are so clearly Lennon solo tracks, so they wouldn't really fit on a Beatles album.

    I don't think there was a worthy Ringo song from this era.

    Also - DON'T BLAME YOKO

    Great list.

    By the way, am I the only one that think the 'Maybe I'm Amazed' solo sounds really George Harrison?
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Ok. I'm going to break from your guideline and say that a 2005 album, saying all members are living, and that all new material be submitted, might be something to behold.

    Ooo. I just thought of a song.

    yeah but two years later both Clapton and Lennon were in the height of terrible herion addiction.

    I would have thought that IF it had happened at least half of it could have been George harrison material.

    A quick was amazing live. I remember seeing it back about eight or nine years ago and was stunned by the sheer energy of it plus the water on Moon's drums

    The one thing that was missing of all the beatle solo outputs is the amazing harmonies that they had as a group.
