I love Paul, I went to a concert in 2013 I think, and it was amazing.
But I believe Lennon's music was much more revolutionary, and took more risks, even if it didn't always pan out. But, my top LIVING musician has to be Bob Weir. His rhythm guitar playing revolutionized the way we play and hear the instrument. With jazz chords played along with rock music, he truly created a complex, original style that's hard to match.

john lennon was just an amazing song writer and was really the first to do such confessional, real song writing. the first to make it mainstream anyways, and it still wasn't that big outside of new york city back then.

paul on the otherhand was a commercial sucess, a musical genius in his own right able to craft the perfect pop song to rake in top dollar. the man only saw money, bitches, and weed. he lives for the limelight and earned it

>>695333748
exactly, paul sold out which is why he's seen as larger than life and has always been famous as fuck

john on the other hand, even though he never wrote a pop song like paul did is always everyones' favorite beatles because he was real, man. after the beatles he was saying shit out loud no one had the courage to. i think that speaks volumes on the type of man john is, and it's why he's my favorite beatle.

paul was better talented, a better singer, a better guitar player, and better looking than john, and everyone still likes john more.john just made us all feel things with his music, even in the beatles. listen to the early takes of "yes it is" and you see john always had that emotion in his songwriting even in the earlier days of the beatles. that's the biggest thing about john lennon, man.

>>
>>695333748
For fucks sake, if you actually think musicians don't want to make a living playing music you have no clue how any of this works. Paul is an overrated bass player from a overrated 60's pop group. But don't call him a sell out because so many people like his music and buy it affirding him massive sums of wealth. You think Townes Van Zandt gave a shit about all the respect he had as the greatest songwriter of the 20th century? No, he wanted to earn a living a eat.

that's why music and capitalism always works out weird, it can never truly be about the art.

on the bright side though, the beatles had a lot of "raw" underground years. just check out the hamburg live shows, true magic in there, man. real rock 'n roll. they did do surprisingly well for a pop group however, and made some truly revolutionary songs.

John Lennon needed someone to bring it out of him. He was fucking lazy. Paul road his fucking ass and challenged him to write good music, Yoko did much of the same, and yet they are hated by die hard Lennon fans. Yet he would have done far less without them driving him

I don't know guys. I don't really think Paul is the greatest anymore, he used to be after Michael Jackson died, but that's 6 years ago and Paul is not so relevant anymore.

That's not saying he isn't a great musician and artist, just my 2 cents.

true words man. they were a songwriting match made in heaven. i like that with yoko he revisted his rock n roll roots, vs. paul's evolving style into newer and newer genres of music. paul mccartney has just always been a hard fucking worker when it comes to music. i don't think people realize how much time and effort is truly put into the recording studio.

there's nothing wrong with your opinion anon, every form of art is subjective.

Wow, you're ignorance knows no boundaries. You're shit posting yourself into a hole anon, grab a rope and hang yourself. Product ceases to be art and becomes content when sold, expressly for monetary gain. Art is sold to create more art, part of that creation process involves, food, housing and the search for more inspiration. Content is sold to ensure comfort and complacency. You are the decider of what is art to only yourself. Anon, if you really believe that money and art only coexist in western culture, you really need to get a clue.
