Paul wrote so many good songs it's hard for me to just say he sucks or whatever. Plus he never beat his wife or broke up a band over some dumb shit.

come at me malek

The prosecution rests, your honor.

Not to mention, the entire Wings catalog is a crime against humanity. It's glaringly obvious that Paul needed John in order to write good songs; the reverse is in no way true.

Yet an incredible songwriter and musician! Quit looking to entertainers to be your idols. And Paul is a vegetarian. Fuck him.

Triumph you make a compelling argument - btw thank you based god, I haven't heard THAT SONG in like a year and a half.

BUT Wings had some good songs, Paul wrote a shit ton of great songs with the Beatles, etc. John's solo work is overrated imo

You're misunderstanding me. I completely agree about them musically.

Paul doesn't suck-suck; he has an incredible ear, but a tendency to be unbearably corny. Most of the time it comes together remarkably well in spite of itself, occasionally it's a crime against the nature of sound.

Beatles-era, speaking, of course—I haven't ever been able to sit through a full album of Wings songs.

I still think it's indisputable that John's high water marks as a solo artist still blow away anything Paul has ever done. Also, not sure what these "good" Wings songs you speak of are.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #70 on:** May 16, 2012, 02:10:33 AM »

I haven't heard much of Paul's solo stuff, admittedly, outside of the self titled album which is damn good

but in terms of wings come on, their first album is very good.

Speaking as someone who was a vegetarian for like the first 29 years of his life, I can tell you that IT'S FUCKING AWFUL in comparison. I just ate half a cornish game hen the other night that was better than the sum total of everything I've ever eaten in my life while I was a vegetarian.

Lennon had a lot of really average stuff too. I'd argue Paul's solo work was more consistent but Lennon's had higher peaks (probably the same for Harrison too).

And here's the peak of Paul's solo work.

this post is shit bin worthy. bad opinions galore. mccartneys best song wasn't even in wings or the beatles itw as this off a album getting remastered later this month

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #77 on:** May 16, 2012, 05:40:23 PM »

After listening to all the 2009 remasters, my hate for Paul drastically lessened. I still despise him as a songwriter in their later years, but you can't deny he wrote some great pop hits in their early years. Not to mention he might be one of the most underrated bassists in rock history. Seriously, listen to some of his riffs, they're fucking GREAT.

The bass in this one is really fucking good:

And arguably his finest bass playing:

but you can't really beat Harrison later on in their work, in my opinion. Starting from the White album, he had my favorite singles by far:

Here Comes the Sun is probably my favorite all around Beatles song. Maybe a cutesy choice, but I just find it beautiful.

I Me Mine

Welp, now I have to listen to all the Beatles shit again haha

Himu · « **Reply #78 on:** May 16, 2012, 05:42:29 PM »

Funnily, my favorite Beatles song is a Paul song.

I don't think it's the best Beatles song, but it's certainly my favorite. I wish it were longer.

Also, the best post-Beatles song by any of the solo careers of the three:

george harrison's all things must pass is the best post-beatles solo album

All Things Must Pass isn't even georges best album. Cloud 9 >>>>>>>>>>>> All Things Must Pass. Hell i'd say Traveling Wilburys Volume 1 is better than that also.
