Would the Beatles have been much different if George Harrison had been more pushy about including his songs?

George Harrison's growing talent as a songwriter is one of the things that upset the established status-quo within The Beatles, eventually leading to the break up. His dissatisfaction with only getting 2 songs per album only added to the already growing tension between Lennon and McCartney. Add Yoko Ono's growing influence on Lennon and the fact that the band no longer had a manager *** father figure since the death of Brian Epstein to smooth over the arguments and problems (it could be said that many of these would never have got out of hand if Epstein had lived) and the break up of the greatest band of all time was sadly inevitable.
