ummm
Paul over John is the most reddit tier opinion in music
>>65114638
Wrong. Reddit would prefer John because of his SJW attitude. Paul is shunned by everyone for being uncool even though he is patrician as fuck. Making Paul McCartney the actual musician equivilant of 4chan.
>>65114638
wrong
>>65109014
Literally objectively Paul
Just compare their output after the Beatles

Across the universe is their best song
>>65114701
John solo made better music than Woman is the Nigger of the World. But I 100% agree that Paul had a very stellar solo career until the 1980s.
>>65114665
>>65114663
Go to reddit where they all hate John for beati his wives and not being there for his faggot kid
>>65109014
Pete Best, duh
>>65114804
Why are you so versed in what Reddit talks about?
Paul. if you say John you're an edgy contrarian
Paul
>Plays Bass, Guitar, Piano, Drums, Synths, all fluently
>most active member of the beatles, had huge imput on many of John's classic while John was nowhere to be heard on many of Paul's classics
>didn't beat his wife
>stayed loyal to his wife until her death
>never jumped on a le peace and love bandwagon he later regretted
>didn't have to become a meme-artist to stay relevant
Paul is objectively better.
>John needs the help of Ringo, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Nicky Hopkins, Phil Spector to make his """""""""solo""""""" albums
>Paul records maybe I'm amazed all on his own
Paul all the way. Paul made making flawless pop seem effortlessly easy, while John just rehashed the "whoa peace and love" thing in almost every one of his songs. Johns songs just didn't have the flow Paul's did, but they appealed more to the "far out" counterculture. To me, both are utterly fantastic artists, but only Paul's songs have stood the test of time.
>>65109014
Paul hands down every time
John was an autistic hippy faggot who supported Communism, which killed over 100 million people.
>>65115269
I don't care for Paul's hamfisted sentiment, or his clunky modulations. And his use of classic compositional tropes hang like rotten fruit.
>>65109014
Pohn or Jaul?
>>65116106
>johnfag accusing other's of hamfisted sentiment
that's rich
I FUCKING HATE PAUL
HE KEKED MY FUCKING GRANDPA
>>65116218
Fuck yo grandpa.
>>65114663
That bit about paul being perceived as uncool even though he's clearly fucking patrician is so true
>>65114588
>>65113870
Why not both?
>>65116953
One is clearly superior to the other.
>>65114638
Paul is significantly more musically talented. I'd gladly argue that he has one of the best natural voices ever. He was a definin bassist for the time too, but there was a lot of them around back then.
>>65117469
Paul has a really good voice, but the range of emotions John transmitted through his voice outshines him. Paul couldn't sing Im Only Sleeping or even A Day In The Life the way John did, but Paul was a tenor, so he could calmly sing those soft pop songs that people usually like
>>65118389
John couldn't sing rock like Paul, John could sing broken heart blues, but the strength behind Pauls voice is insane, he could also sing bloody low for a tenor.
Don't get me wrong, they're both incredible singers, but pauls is better in terms of technicality
>>65118626
>John couldn't sing rock like Paul
>what is Twist and Shout
John's voice outshines Paul's big time.
>>65118689
Oh! Darling tho
>>65118769
"Mother" though
John sang at an emotional level Paul never has.
>>65111192
all the songs of pauls you listed are good m8
>>65118689
This is exactly my point
And niether of them could sing as raw and desperate as Jim Morrison. Emotion is one thing, doesn't mean his voice is better. If emotion is your driving point, then George Harrison kicks them both out on that.

>And niether of them could sing as raw and desperate as Jim Morrison.
fucking ew. jim morrison is a fucking hack. kill yourself.
> If emotion is your driving point, then George Harrison kicks them both out on that.
lol what the fuck? name one harrison vocal performance that touches "Mother"
>>65111192
>>i want you (she's so heavy)
>>strawberry fields forever
>>across the universe
Your favourite is George Martin?
>>65118908
>Jim Morrison is a hack
I have no words
Opinion utterly discarded.
>one song
Long, Long, Long and While my guitar gently weeps are both full of emotion.
>>65118886
I think the main problem with your line of reasoning is your definition of "better voice", especially when we are talking about pop music and not opera. I would take Girl over Rocky Racoon or some other Paul's shitty screaming into fifth octave rocksong like Maybe I'm Amazed every single time.

I can't get over Paul McCartney's voice. Dude was a freak of nature.
Remember kids, Paul has a better voice, is a better guitar player, a better piano player, a better songwriter. John was a better lyricist and probably was a more honest performer
Beatles: John
Solo: Paul
>>65119397
I was talking about technical ability. Sure Lennon had more emotion in his singing, but that's just how he sang. Anyway we're getting stuck up on a useless point.
They're both excellent singers for different reasons, but I personally prefer pauls voice.

I hate John but he was the better songwriter in the Beatles
after he left the Beatles he started getting really shitty

I laughed much harder than I should habe
TEMPORARY
SECRETARY
>>65111192
The only good thing about I Want You (She's So Heavy) is Paul's bass playing. The rest is just lazy songwriting.
>>65120540
>after he left the Beatles he started getting really shitty
Imagine alone is bigger than any of Paul solo song's
>>65120743
>what is Mull of Kintyre
John. He was a rebel who was out for himself, and didn't take shit from anybody.
