John and George did pretty much everything. that's 1 of the reasons why they are/were the coolest..

Paul was the goody-goody, which is most probably why he's still alive, lol ;)

paul did some good stuff, for example this is my favourite xmas song ever

so weird, so minimal, so synthy. you won't hear anything like this on the radio these days. except for this.

also paul wrote paperback writer, possibly one of the best beatles songs, before they disappeared up their own psychedelic peace-loving arses.

Best thing about The Beatles is Yoko Ono, and she basically had nothing to do with The Beatles

they hit a peak in 1966 and it was all downhill from there. i'm saying it. the kinks were a better band anyway.

It displays pretty much everything I dislike about music.

well, fair enough, then i stand corrected. but John is still my favourite :) and i remember seeing Paul on that Beatles anthology thing that was on British TV years ago saying he didn't want to do acid because he'd heard it changed the way you think, and he was really worried that he wouldn't be able to "get back" ..get back, get back to where he once belonged! lol

Bah. *scoffs*

how can you say it was all downhill from 66!? when they went on to do Sgt. Peppers, the White album, and Abbey Road! (and yeah i'm not mentioning 'Let it Be' cos that's their worst album by far, imo.. the dregs of the barrel at the time. i think that was more a 'Paul album'? , but Lennon has the best tracks on that album aswell!)

i guess it depends on whether you like rock music or not.

errr, it's all Rock'n'Roll.. lol

this is truth as well. i'm a beatles nut, but the kinks were just a notch better from the kink kontroversy through muswell hillbillies.

kinks thread.

to all the paul haters, come on:

admittedly it doesn't rock that hard, but it has great changes. paul had a really good ear for a surprising chord change. leave him alone. it's always been cool to hate paul but he was a brilliant songwriter.

never was much into the Kinks, tbh..

i don't hate Paul at all. i agree he was a brilliant songwriter. bit cheesey, but yeah, still brilliant in his own way. the perfect Beatle, really.

but when John was writing stuff like 'Come Together' and 'She's So Heavy', Paul was still writing stuff like.. 'Maxwells' Silver Hammer', and really tame, safe songs..

I think I agree. I love the white album a lot too though.
