Something get your goat over music and/or the Beatles?

I'm a Beatles fan, actually, but I would never compare McCartney with Mozart, especially if I didn't know what Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote.

Comparisons are a relative thing. I didn't say McCartney was better than Mozart and I know you know that. Even today Mozart lives in the music that he wrote that is still great today. Not all but some. Same with Paul. Sure he wrote some dogs**t but in the overall scheme he wrote some very beautiful songs with lyrics. Sometimes lyrics can be the hardest thing to write.

You make a good point with Rogers & Hammerstein but at the same time I think since I know so very little of their stuff how could I say they were the Mozart's of the last century? If the music was that good wouldn't I know at least some of it?

I'm not looking for anything at this point but opinions because the answer won't be answered for another couple hundreds years.
