While I agree with the first half of this, about Roxy Music (they DID produce
some great music after Eno, like "Out of the Blue", "Love is the Drug"),
what personnel changes did the Beatles go through? The only one I can think
of is Ringo Starr replacing Pete Best in 1962 (?), and that was before any
major recorded output.
