Lennon or McCartney?

When I was younger it was definitely Paul, but as I have gotten older I'd have to say John. However, I don't think either was as good individually as they were collectively.

That's pretty much the same way I feel Gumby. When I was a kid, Paul was definitely my favorite.......and I agree, it's the combination of the two that really created the "magic".

Ditto. McCartney has too many silly little love songs. John was more on the edge. Together they were fab.

Lennon, but it's like splitting hairs.

I couldn't state it any better.

I do like the first couple McCartney solo albums, but Mccartney needed Lennon to give him some edge, and Lennon needed McCartney to smooth some of his edges. If I had to choose, Lennon would edge McCartney out. But I'm on the edge.

I think people's memory of John Lennon has been clouded by his tragic death.

Lennon could have been Michael Jacksons roomate he was such a kook, great writer though just wierd, he slpet with Yoko Ono. I go with PM although he should be ashmaned for letting the King of Pop outbid him on the beatles tunes. Whoss smarter Michael or PM. I think that's obvious look at owns the rights to the beatles tunes...

Lennon obviously wrote the more edgy music, but their writing as a team created magic IMO.

That being said, I have seen Paul McCartney live twice and this man can flat out entertain and loves it. He is a special talent, even given all those silly love songs.
