Not so much trivia as a question for a hard-core Beatles buff who likely has a strong opinion on this.
Do you think the disappointing recordings of "Real Love" and "Free As a Bird" reflect:
a) That George Martin truly was the 5th Beatle (and that Jeff Lynn didn't have what it takes)
b) That age made the members not as good as they used to be
c) That the best Beatles music came out of closer collaboration among the members throughout the songwriting process (possibly more collaboration than has been acknowledged by the Beatles themselves), and that it's awfully tough to make a "Beatles" song out of an old Lennon demo
d) The recordings were not disapointing at all, so this is a silly question
e) Other
