In terms of how bitter the split was either NWA(with the death threats and continued animosity until Eazy-E's death, although I'd question whether or not the feud between Dre and E was for real given E's album sounded suspicously like Dre produced), or Pink Floyd/The Smiths given the continual court cases scuppering any hope of reconciliation. With the exception of The Sex Pistols and NWA(neither of whom were never much cop IMO), most of those groups were very much past their creative peaks by the time they disbanded, meaning their disbanding was simply the natural course of events. If you want a group whose disintegration was genuinely a loss to music on the grounds of unfuffilled potential, The La's,Life Without Buildings or The Specials would be far worse break ups.
