I think so. I’ve heard all the Beatles stuff hard to love music and avoid it) and they did some cool stuff. Tomorrow never Knows being exhibit 1. Overall though, between the two, yea. Paul over John. I like his voice more and he did have talent. We can thank John for Automatic double tracking though since he was too lazy to double his vocals the right way.

Which is a cool story in itself.

Lennon certainly had his share of excellent songs, but since he was more political i.e. leftist in his sentiments than McCartney, the big thinkers at Rollingstone and other rock music mags deemed Lennon a "genius."

I read one book about Lennon where the author tried to claim Lennon was some sort of a Marxist activist. All baloney. He just latched on to the newest thing/fad and dove headfirst into the stuff. But he was no musical genius as his mostly turgid post-Beatles work proved. Even "Imagine" is a song with a decent melody but really sappy, naive/utopian lyrics.

And as an amateur musician, I've got several Beatles sheet music books. McCartney had more good songs overall.
