10 Perfect Albums That Artists Don't Want To Talk About

Towards the end of the '60s, the Beatles' band of brothers image started to have more than a few cracks in the foundation. Even though the band themselves were still at their creative best, you could tell that they were starting to move away from each other artistically, having more than enough material than could even fit on a Beatles project. Once the band started to get back to their roots though, everything started to fall apart even more.

While the origins of Let It Be may have been to rebuild that sense of camaraderie that the scrappy band from Liverpool had, the sessions for this record were an absolute disaster, with John and Paul not really seeing eye to eye on what songs should be used and George Harrison getting pushed off to the side, despite having some of his best songs in the can like All Things Must Pass.

Those were the actual sessions though. What the band were really pissed off about was what happened after, with Let It Be being rush released as the Beatles' swan song despite already handing in their true final album Abbey Road, along with Phil Spector's Wall of Sound production making decent songs sound overly indulgent by comparison. Not every band can have a glowing final chapter to end things on, but Let It Be doesn't even act as a swan song that much. This is just an album that was never supposed to see the light of day, but for some reason was released kicking and screaming out the door.
