Question: Lennon or McCartney?

[BlockInlay]

I don't get the need to pick one or the other. My favorite is The Beatles.

 

[James Franciscus]

Again not an answer. Any idiot can write anything they want on the internet and you can find it with Google.

I want to know what your proof is.

An idiot who uses the internet to post on a guitar forum could easily do a search on Google and read a number of articles on the subject, if only he wasn't an idiot..

Hard to choose, as they both did their best stuff working together. I guess if I had to pick one of them it would be McCartney.

 

[James Franciscus]

This doesn't have to be a war.

Yeah, there has to be a war. Sometimes a man needs to suck down some black coffee, strap on a cod piece, and smack these McCartney haters senseless.

 

[Modern Saint]

Harrison

Here is an old interview with Lennon where he admits hitting women early in his adult life. Anyway, the fact that the guy had serious issues and did things I disagree with doesn't impact how I feel about his music.

Yeah, there has to be a war. Sometimes a man needs suck down some black coffee, saddle up, and smack these McCartney haters senseless.

For what it's worth, I drink black coffee all the time; I don't like cream and sugar in it. Imagine.

Hey man, this is not a war.

Lennon.

McCartney can never be forgiven for "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime". It's unforgivable.

Sure he can. He wrote "Live And Let Die" and "Yesterday," the most recorded song in history, while you've been forgiven for much worse songwriting offenses.

Shit, now you tell me...and here I just strapped on my codpiece...

Don't forget "Maxwell's Silver Hammer"...

Paul wrote "Come And Get It."



But go ahead, focus on the negative. In the meantime please post your songwriting experiments mixing dark humor, whimsy, bassoons, and special effects.

I don't listen to radio. I never hear those songs. But go into any store during the holiday season and you'll hear Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime.

A bassoon killed my dog when I was a child, so thank you for dredging up my bad memories...

Ask your girlfriend to buy you some ear buds for Christmas. Problem solved.

Paul has written worse songs than "Wonderful Christmas Time," but I do not wish to share those at this juncture.

 

[Gary Blanchard]

New forum rules will have to read: No religion, no politics, and no Lennon vs. McCartney.

 

[jelloman]

I do not wish to share those at this juncture.

Is there a juncture at which you will be willing to share?

 

[James Franciscus]

Paul wrote "Martha My Dear" in honor of your dog who died in a tragic bassoon accident. I hope this consoles you.

It does, thank you...although my dog's name wasn't Martha...

In a later juncture I will share the sheer genius of Paul McCartney's Ram album. Wait for it.
