Yoko Ono, I love a lot of her music but no one I know feels the same.
I actually like Yoko Ono's style a
lot (60's Avante Garde).
She was only hated by the public for 'breaking up the Beatles', but that happened between George's wife (Patti) and Eric Clapton, as well as differing attitudes towards the music they each wished to see the Beatles play.
Each member wanted to all try it solo for a while to express themselves and mature into the music of that time individually and personally.
There were also quite a few management rows with Phil (Spector), money/tax problems, and just those things that come with 'being the Beatles for too long'. They wanted to quit while they were still 'ahead' and before all the s*** hit the fan. They made a wise call.
There's no doubt that Yoko was disliked by Paul and Ringo (mostly by Paul) and resented her presence during their recording sessions (actually, they resented
anybody's presence during recording sessions), and just tolerated the occasional 'visit', but John and Yoko were 'joined at the hip' and she became a major distraction, when they were trying to lay tracks down. I didn't blame them for feeling that way, it was totally understandable.
So, all of the above led to the break up of the Beatles, but Yoko was only a very minor, annoying contribution.
Now, let me post all my individual most favourite songs, by each of the Beatles individually (when they each went solo). I shall start with Yoko Ono though (seeing as how I am taking about her in reply to you), then, go on to John, Paul, George and Ringo.
You can see their different 'styles' which made them all decide to 'go it alone' and why the Beatles actually broke up...so, are you ready for it?:

Now you can all see the individual genius that came together as the 'Fab 4' and how their individual styles influenced the Beatles...but hey, I am gonna go and make a new thread about this now. lol
