Wings - the band The Beatles could have been.

The Travelling Willburys - the band The Beatles could have been.

So glad the Beatles never sounded like Wings.  I never liked Wings much (boring) or Paul's music on his own either.  It is not the same as the Beatles music.  The big factor in the Beatle sound was Lennon.  Listen to the music John did between 1970 and 1980 and you will hear more Beatles like music going on there without doubt. 
 
I feel the magic happened when they wrote together.  John pulled the sound away from Paul towards some point in the middle (e.g. the Beatles) and Paul did the same too. 
 
I think we might need Ben to chime in here.  After all he has spent quite a bit of time researching the sound.  And he is quite capable of recreating it too which is damn hard. 
 
 

The 'Wings' thing was a joke, lifted from Alan Partridge. Personally, I don't really mind if I never hear the Beatles again. I appreciate everything they did, but enough is enough. There are far more interesting bands to listen to these days. Move on....

Personally I wish I had never heard them at all ever, and yeah, far more interesting stuff has been available since then (and even at the time). Why anyone would want to listen to that crap now is beyond me, it's hideous

We're talking about The Beatles, not The Doors.

As myolpal says "It takes all kinds to make a horse race".

And remember, they landed in America for the first time on my 11th birthday.

What year was that again?  1506?
