10 Rock Musicians That Get Way Too Much Hate

10. Yoko Ono

There seemed to be a hole left in the world of music when the Beatles decided to call it a day. Since they were the ones who ushered in new forms of rock and roll and brought the genre to new heights, seeing them fall out over business casted a shroud over the rest of the music world. Fans weren't looking to move on though. They were looking for someone to blame...and Yoko Ono pretty much checked every single box.

For all of the great artistry that she had gotten into before she even became John Lennon's partner, Yoko has carried the reputation as the one who tore everything apart, coming in between the Fab Four and urging John to do more avant garde work with her. If you were to ask any Beatle about what happened towards the end though, Yoko has much less involvement in their breakup than their managers, with Allen Klein getting them to work against each other and even John Lennon wanting out of the band because he was drifting away from them creatively.

There's even video evidence of the band getting along well in the studio during the Get Back documentary, where Paul McCartney even jokes that it would be the funniest thing in the world if the band broke up because Yoko decided to sit on one of their amplifiers one day. You don't have to like her music, but Yoko was not the cause of the Beatles' breakup. These were just four creative people that had said all they could possibly say together.
