    "Leaving while at the top" is not a new concept.  The Beatles did it.  Seinfeld did it.  Barry Sanders did it.   

    Totally get the concept of more music the better.  Just making conversation.  
    I didn't know the Beatles called it quits after Revolver. If you meant Let it be - it's far from their best record. A great last hurray, but Rubber Soul, Revolver, Help and the White Album were way better.

    And Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Abbey Road, which both came after all of the albums you mentioned (except Let It Be) are better than all of them.

    Re: the earlier post, Seinfeld had its biggest audience in its final season, but its last two seasons without Larry David were not its creative peak (although it was still very funny).

    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    100%. Each character just became more of a caricature of themselves and it did not work for me.

    Except Jerry. Jerry was still Jerry. And Newman still managed to steal every scene he was in. I swear I don't think there's a single Newman scene in that show where Wayne Knight didn't completely crush it.

    I do still enjoy Seasons 8 and 9, but the caricatures are a little more off-putting, and there are a lot of huge plot holes.

    Abbey Road was the last album they recorded. Let it Be was recorded prior to, but released after.

    The Beatles didn't leave on their best record, but they were still the most highly revered and popular band on the planet when they broke up. They also broke up as music was really changing which was the right time for them to call it a day. A decent Beatles album was still better than just about anything in 1969/1970.
