>faul is not an option
john for me. paul was the better singer but he made boring and uninspired music, never really experimenting.
Strawberry Fields Forever alone is more interesting musically than every single song Paul made

John, obviously.
>>63219723
paul by miles. john was needed for the early rock stuff but once they were established paul carried the weight for a long time.
oh you think strawberry fields and walrus were so psychedelic? paul was the one that started experimenting with tape loops during revolver and incorporating baroque instrumentation (penny lane, eleanor rigby) after seeing a concer of the brandenburg concerto
George
George Harrison

im sorry mate but while Paul was experimenting with Eleanor Rigby was you say John was putting out Tomorrow Never Knows. He then released Rain and Strawberry Fields Forever before Sgt Pepper was an actual thing. He experimented way more on his songs too than Paul. Even George did.

John was a cotton headed ninny muggin so obviously Paul.
George is the patrician choice though tbqh f a m

>penny lane exists, anon.
>>63221872
Lennon was far more experimental in that way than McCartney. That's especially so if we're talking about their music from Revolver onward.

He's more like the contrarian choice. He was great but there's a good reason John and Paul got the most songs on Beatles albums.

Contrarian would be to go my man

Fuck autocorrect
Who cares they're both dead anyway

That's because they hated criticisms and other ideas, the groups dynamic was so that john and Paul got to be the leaders
George

Good taste.
>>63219806
Do you assume that Paul had nothing to do with the songs that John wrote? He wrote guitar, keyboard, bass, percussion, and vocal parts that John wrote you know.
>>63222706
Of course they had egos and were the group leaders. They were, after all, the more talented two of the band. The thing with that is they constantly let George's songs take priority whenever they thought he brought the best one(s) to the studio that day. The trouble is that rarely happened, but when it did (like when he brought in Something) they dropped what they were doing and worked on his song instead.
That was especially the case when one of them had a single-worthy song. They had big egos, but they knew where the money was.

This 100%.
>>63222778
This is true, but John had major input in many of Paul's songs as well so they kind of even each other out.
John

>boring and uninspired music
>what is Helter Skelter
I think Paul is a better musician but i find it easier and more enjoyable to emotionally connect to Johns music. Plus i side him on the whole "Granny Music" thing.
>>63220097
This, George Harrison
George is such a contrarian answer. All he had was all things must pass and he fell off hard.

Well, none of the beatles had a particularly good solo discography t b h. John had 2 good albums, Paul had 2ish good albums (although that's kind of up for debate - i love ram but i'm not a huge wings fan). But neither of their solo efforts came close to the beatles' stuff. George had one fantastic triple album and a couple okay ones, so he definitely stacks up with the rest of them.
>>63224520
John had four good solo albums senpai
Paul. He was the cute one. Still is.
