yes, it is interesting with The Beatles...
if you listen to their albums (13 wasn't it???)
with every album their songwriting and musicianship improved until Sgt Peppers...
they didn't improve after that but I feel they matured to create more of what is now refered to as "adult orientated rock" (AOR),
even so, as they matured they were still trying to push the envelope of what rock should be, at least for them anyway...
"the white album" was dark throughout, it was also as close to heavy metal/hard rock as rock became before the likes of Deep Purple, Black Sabbath etc...
"abbey road", IMO, saw them turning music into a continuous montage to create a single piece of music (side 2), again, pushing musical boundaries, but lets face it,
the tracks on that album as individual pieces really weren't a patch on their pre '67 period..
then finally we had "let it be", a fragmented collection of songs by four individuals who couldn't stand the sight of eachother....
Let It Be is my least liked album of theirs (apart from that stupid movie soundtrack Yellow Submarine),
Spector produced that one and Paul especially, hated the finished results, thus a few years ago they released "let it be - naked", which is how Paul originally intended the album
the sound like, personally im torn between the two, there are some songs I prefer over others on both albums.
that said, Let It Be did contain several "beatle classics" IMO....Across The Universe, Let It Be, The Long And Winding Road, Get Back.
back to The Rolling Stones,
their worst single in the 1960s was actually one of their psychedelic ones IMO.....
it was issued as a "double A" single in the UK "dandelion" b/w "we love you", their attempt to go all "flowers in your hair" on us.
