    Well, one band that I feel improved with age was The Beatles.  Their
best albums were their last ones (IMHO of course ;-)  including Abbey Road
Let It Be and Sgt. Peppers...  Though I agree that many bands go downhill
after a while.  Asia for instance.  Of course it would have been near
impossible to top the first one.  What I want to know is what it was about
that band that made such a great album (besides great musicians).   What I
mean is did each of them have all these fantastic ideas for new songs that
they were suddenly given the oppurtunity to play or what?  Or was just
getting together a catalyst to make the music...  Any ideas?
