Joe, what can I say? You're not kicking ass right now.

[nasdfrdg]

Ogie, you don't know jack.

Oh yeah. George was the best of them.

[Kimmitmelvirm]

Of course not. It's all a matter of opinion.

well, it's hard to compare anything up against While My Guitar Gently Weeps. That's just an amazing song Credit where credit is due. Ohh thats right, credit would be due Clapton there.

[assohillA]

Uh, no. Harrison wrote it.

He's a hero to a powerful generation that has continued glorifying him countless years after his expiry date as a relevant artist.

Objective criteria like number of top-10 hits and number one albums aren't a matter of opinion. McCartney kicks the **** out of the rest of the Beatles using those measuring sticks, which is why lame Lennon fans have to fall back on personal opinion.

Since when is being a top-10 hit a sign of quality? I'm not saying this to denigrate McCartney, BTW. He wrote a lot of amazing songs. But I'm willing to bet that more than a couple of his best songs never made it on the top-10.

She had it, but the Beatles dethroned her with "1".

Interesting and telling that a Dylan discussion would quickly become a Beatles discussion. I think Bob would like it that way.

[PristisoliTer]

He has a secret crush on Ringo.

[Illirmpipse]

the credit for writing the song?

[dHXaE2h9]

During the Beatles, Lennon trounced Paul McCartney.

How could anyone prefer Penny Lane to Strawberry Fields Forever? A Day in the Life would be yet another lame McCartney ditty without Lennon's transcendental song surrounding it.

A Magical Mystery Tour, which was LAME LAME LAME - McCartney's idea.

Lennon wrote I Am the Walrus - enough said really.

McCartney was a greater commercial success than Lennon post Beatles? Big deal. Heather Mills is more impressed about that than I ever will be.

[RichardHaads]

What about Ringo? I mean, have you heard Octopus' Garden? Fantastic!

Pwned...

From the 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, they wrote 'With A Little Help From my Friends', 'Getting Better' and one of their best 50-50 co-compositions, 'A Day in the Life'. In the song, it's easy to see how John and Paul could work as a team when they wrote; whilst John came up with the original idea for a meditation on newspaper stories and the verses, Paul came up with the famous line 'I'd love to turn you on', the orchestra transition and the middle eight section.
