Paul McCartney never wrote anything again approaching his Beatles work. Neither did many of the other “legends” of the 60s.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the Beatles.

But all the stuff from Woodstock, the Doors, Stevie Wonder, Chicago, Steely Dan, Blood Sweat and Tears, The Allman Brothers, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Deep Purple, Booker T, The Eagles etc etc etc.

I’ll concede...there was a lot of crap then too. But now, that’s all you get.

I agree with you, but some of his stuff on Flaming Pie came damn close. Here's an example.

And Einstein did his best work in his 20's when he was an office clerk.

Not too many Grandma Moses's out there. For most of us, we do our best work early. Thank goodness for wisdom to fill void.

Paul McCartney never wrote anything again approaching his Beatles work.

His peak was probably 68-70, "Hey Jude" through "Let it Be." But I can't listen to Beatles pre-Sgt. Pepper, except for "Hey Bulldog."

I really like his '70s music, from "Maybe I'm Amazed" through about 1976. "Live and Let Die" and "Band on the Run" rank up there with his best singles with the Beatles.

My only knock against the Beatles and McCartney solo is their nonsense lyrics.
