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? H.C.E.
