For me (YMMV) the Beatles were better than the sum of their parts. When they were recording together as a band, and particularly when Lennon and McCartney were actually writing songs together on a regular basis, the result exceeded their individual talents. When each song began to be a production of one member with little input from the others I think the overall quality suffered despite the occasional gem.
