Both of them pretty much stank after the breakup. "Imagine" is actually an exceptionally maudlin, dopey, pie in the sky, hippy dream song. McCartney's post Beatle work was mostly crap as well. But before the breakup, McCartney's songs were overall better.

I play the Beatles on my guitar. Most of the songs with the best melody lines are McCartney's. They both wrote excellent songs, but that ended with the split. Then they both went downhill fast. After the split, Harrison's and yes, EVEN!!! Ringo's songs were better.

I don't know about that. I think he had a pretty successful post beatles career. You could make a pretty long list of hit songs he wrote after the beatles.

Paul McCartney had a song in the mid 1970s called "Listen to What The Man Said."

That was a pretty good song. Wasn't it? Especially the saxophone part.

It Don't Come Easy is the best post Beatles tune. Now ... who actually wrote it?

It Don't Come Easy was a Harrison song.
