Lennon. His voice had that quality that could send a shiver down your spine, even after you've heard it a million times. 

In the end, to me it's what music is about. Paul was probably a more consistent songwriter, a better musician, more diverse in his talents, and he wrote some amazing songs. But his voice never got through to me the way Lennon's does. The guy could sing about reading a newspaper and it still cuts right through...

For me it's Paul.

But I'm curious if anyone shares my opinion - when John and Paul where part of The Beatles - when they were a unit, so to speak - their level of composition was pure genius.

Then each went his own way, and it's like they "dumbed down".

I'd go along with that, apart from 'Maybe I'm Amazed'.

I agree 




Paul has stated numerous times he prefers a writting partner to bounce ideas off of .... Hence his consistent collaborations in the 80s .... He has stated that working with Elvis Costello was as close to John as he could get 




Paul often cites getting better and John ad libbing the lyric couldn't get any worse as an example of the collberation with John he misses 

Mooch is Paul in town for the wedding? He seems to be feeding you more facts than can be found on the intertubewebthingy.

Bapu didn't answer the question ...I guess that means no


Now I have to try really hard to turn my frown upside down 

Mooch,

Jonbouy lives in very close proximty to Sir Paul's studio in the Sunny Southern Coast of the UK (I've seen it). You should have asked him to stand up @ your wedding. Jonbouy's entourage usually includes Sir Paul.

I agree with you Rain, John’s voice could send shivers down your spine.


Yoko.  One of the benefits of digital down load is that I can now pick only the “John Songs” from Double Fantasy for down load.  I can leave the cat screeching behind.

People give George Martin, Geoff Emerick and Ken Scott too much credit for the Beatles success. 

I would love to listen to something that Pete Best did, to see if he actually had more talent than Ringo, but I have n’t heard an actual album that he has ever played on.  I believe that Martin encouraged the group to replace Best in favor of a better drummer.

Paul was a slave driver in the end.  I am glad he was though.  I’m not sure that the group would have actually finished the last 3 albums if he had not pushed them to record the songs.  John kind of check out somewhere after Sgt Pepper.
