McCartney wrote great pop songs (most of the time anyway). Lennon just wrote great songs that went far beyond the confines of popular music. McCartney solo was never really as inventive as he was when working with Lennon ...

This song still puzzles me. What the f**k is it about, and how on earth did it make Billboard #1? :lol:

That said, I like it. :pardon:

"Like" covers a lot of ground. Let's say it's toward the lower end of the scale. "Like" as in I don't actively detest it. :shifty:

The only Beatles song that McCartney wrote that got any traction was Yesterday. The rest was Lennon's work. A Day in The Life is a work of fucking genius. The "Woke up, got out of bed.." bit was McCartney, the rest was Lennon.
It's a piece of piss to be cowiz, but it's not cowiz to be a piece of piss. Or something like that.

On the subject of the Beatles, you have to go past their first three fucking albums to find a song that does not have the word "Love" in the song title.

That's a fact that is.
