I am shocked it is so close because of how John died and the slack that Paul got in the 70's. Lennon's activism and slings at Paul made John "the cool one". McCartney picks seem almost embarrassed and those picking Lennon seem like their trying to win coolness points. Do this survey now, and Paul might be ahead. After Paul passes on (hopefully long, long from now), I am positive that McCartney will be ahead, easily, based on their life's work.

John himself said he was just a jealous guy. He was jealous that Paul had gotten off to such a great solo start even though it had been JOHN who'd thought he was SO much better than the Beatles that he needed to go solo. And up til then his projects with Yoko screaming and grunting and yelling platitudes had not been embraced by the public -- aw.

McCartney is doubtless more talented in overall musical terms, but - for me - not in terms of 'deep' songwriting talent. I think Lennon had more original, artistically-striking tracks, with much better-crafted and impactful lyrics than the bulk of McCartney's stuff. Lennon's stuff makes up the majority of my favourites, along with several Harrison tracks. Alongside some truly original, ground-breaking tracks, McCartney wrote a lot of 'pastiche' type tracks like When I'm 64, Back in the USSR, Honey Pie etc., or lightweight but commercially very successful stuff like Hello Goodbye or Get Back (all of which I love, by the way). This type of track is brilliant in its own way - such tracks give levity and flow to the Beatles albums, and without them most Beatles albums would have been much less enjoyable; they'd have been too spikey, too intense. And Sgt Pepper and Abbey Road, in particular, both benefit massively from McCartney's unique symphonic arranging and concept album imagination.

Paul's solo career is just so fantastically weird...from the electronic experimentation that is "McCartney II" to the beautiful simplicity of "Chaos and Creation in the Backyard" to his collaborations with Elvis Costello in the late 80s and early 90s to the terrific homespun fun of "Ram."

I wonder how the votes would have looked had you had the interviewees write down their answers and put them in a pail. I got the feeling from watching this that there were a lot people saying "Lennon," simply because they felt they should for the sake of seeming cool or deep. And there were a lot of the McCartney supporters who seemed almost embarrassed to be saying it. "Silly Love Songs" was Paul's way of acknowledging how he is perceived.

Exactly! It's "edgy" to pick John or George as "the best Beatle". But you know what? Paul got sick on tour once. The show got cancelled because without him, they couldn't go on. John got sick that year too. They played several shows without him. John needed Paul**, but few people are willing to see that. ** Paul needed John too. He did a lot better than John when they no longer had each other, though.

McCartney co wrote both In My Life and A Day in the Life. Without the incredible bassline he wrote for Come Together it's just a run of the mill Chuck Berry knock off (see also the extraordinary bassline and guitar solo on George's otherwise mediocre Taxman) Most of the recording tequniques that made Strawberry Fields Forever so groundbreaking were Paul's idea (Lennon was never happy with the finished song as a result) Tomorrow Never Knows? Same story, those tape loops were McCartney not Lennon. To top off all the amazing contributions he made that transformed "John songs" he also wrote Here, There and Everywhere, For No One, Eleanor Rigby, Got to Get You Into My Life, I've Just Seen A Face, Helter Skelter, Penny Lane, Blackbird, I Will, Oh Darling, She's Leaving Home, Golden Slumbers, Martha My Dear, You Never Give Me Your Money, Hey Jude, Let it Be, Get Back, The Fool on the Hill, With A Little Help From My Friends.

Ironic that the first original Beatle song ever recorded was written by George "Crying for a Shadow"

@darkhoarse820

9 жыл бұрын

Cry For a Shadow was a Harrison/Lennon composition and not necessarily in that order. George bypassed the other talents in the band by his cultural influence alone (at first). Here Comes the Sun was the lyrical marvel ahead of Something because he actually did have help with that one. In fact, John taught him a nice way of filling in the spaces with things that don't necessarily fit until the right words would eventually come along. John and Paul fell into a certain formula as songwriters, which John eventually strayed from, but George never met that formula. Beyond all, his influence sat with the cultural change. Within the band, he WAS the cultural change.

The greatness of John Lennon´s music as i see it: -The increasing tension. For example I Should Have Known Better. Before Lennon, all pop music structure was AABA, where the tension decreased in the middle part B. But with Lennon the tension from the verse continued in the middle part. Besides that, in this song it is not only a key change in the transition to the middle part, it is even a little key change in it. The increasing tension was what first characterized The Beatles. The first single where the verse lacked this increasing tension was Can´t Buy Me Love. (But the chorus is OK). I didn´t know then it was a McCartney composition. - Other ways of increase the tension by Lennon is to pack together several little songs. Happiness Is A Warm Gun consists of three or four songs, and Bring On The Lucie consists of three songs. -All You Need Is Love has another way: First talking, then repeating half singing, then singing, and finally the climax in chorus. -The melody does not changes, but the background. For example in Strawberry Fields Forever and in Julia the singing melody uses the same notes, but instead the accompaniment changes! Listen to Puccini. He got tired of his sang melodies in Boheme and in Tosca he composed a lot where the sang melodies are often on the same notes, but the background changes instead. The effect can be stronger. -Octave Leap. For example, in the middle part of Please Please Me, Lennon makes an octave run in “…it´s so hard to reason with YOU…”, the climax of the song. George Martin didn´t understand the quality in that. In his orchestration of it in Off The Beatle Track, Martin excludes the octave, the most important bit of the song! -Verse and resolve. Typical for Lennon is a melody followed by a resolve, for example in No Reply “…I saw the light!”…and in Girl “girl! girl!…”. Lennon said that “a good song must have climax and resolve”. -Only one chord. In Tomorrow Never Knows there is only one chord, or bass note, an innovation in pop music. In the Middle Ages it was common with that bordun note, an unchanged bass note. When Lennon played the song the first time for George Martin, Martin didn´t like it. -Whole-tone scale. Most scales have both whole step and half steps between the notes in an octave. In the verse in Norwegian Wood, there is most whole steps, and that´s like the impressionists, for example Debussy. It sounds very clean. -Church Modes. A Hard Day´s Night is written in the mixolydian mode, an ancient vocal scale, preserved in British, Irish and American folk song. -If you play the beginning of Please Please Me slowly, you can hear the similarities with the Westminster bells ringing. When Lennon was a little boy, he loved visiting the divine services. Afterwards he used to improvise anthem music. Westminster bells could unconsciously have inspired him to the beginning of Please Please Me. There is also anthem music in the beginning of All You Need Is Love: “love love love…”. -The lamentation second. A little half step up in the scale. And that´s to indicate a pain. In All You Need Is Love Lennon sings the refrain twice unchanged and then suddenly the third time, rises a little, a very expressive and important step up. That step up started in the baroque epoch, and was called The lamentation second. When Lennon played it the first time to George Martin, Martin didn´t like it. He leaned towards McCartney and muttered: “It´s certainly repetitive”. -From darkness to light. Happiness Is a Warm Gun starts with a little melancholy, and ends with enthusiasm.-In the middle part of I Am The Walrus the darkness switches over to light: “sitting in an English garden…”. And the transition from the chaos and darkness in Revolution 9 to the light in Good Night. That is very typical in Wagner´s music. I think that temperamentally the two were similar. And I think Wagner would have loved the arrangement in Glass Onion. -Suggestive and hypnotic music. With small intervals between the notes in combination with some dissonance chord, Lennon can create a suggestive and hypnotic feeling in for example Across The Universe. It is more like Wagner than pop music. -Few notes. With few, but effective notes, Lennon can create more feeling than McCartney with all his notes, for example in If I Fell and Love. -A melody sang three times, in succession, with just a little change every time. When you hear it you can get frustrated or desperate not getting out from the melody. That we have in the middle part in I Call Your Name and in the middle part in And Your Bird Can Sing. And at the same time the melodies are stick together with a countermelody at the guitar. Rather hypnotic -Melodies without joint. Innovation. When repeating the verse melody in Any Time At All, the first note is the same note as the last note in the first verse: “…there is nothing I won´t DO if need a shoulder to cry on…” -The accompaniment doesn´t follow the vocal line. In the middle part of Hey Bulldog, the piano doesn´t follow the singer. An innovation in pop music. The first one was Schumann in his songs. -The first rap song. The talking in the end of Hey Bulldog. -The most excellent and lovely melodies: The middle part of Bad to Me, the middle part of This Boy, the middle part of Yes it Is and the middle part of Nobody Loves You.

brilliant evaluation. it is sad mcca fans think that the ones preferring lennon prefers him just because of being cool or his tragic death. I cannot say maybe he is better musician, but i can say without a quesstion that he is a way better artist. and his voice especially early days was more touching. Interestingly I always loved lennon songs more than mcca songs in the beatles albums. he was the soul, rebel, insecure, fun, trouble, child, adult, all conflicted stuff of beatles. and i believe what makes him a true artist is this.

Most of those things also apply to Harrison and McCartney. McCartney was and is the master of putting many little songs together to make it one big one. Listen to You Never Give Me Your Money, The End, Uncle Albert (Admiral Halsey), Band On The Run, Despite Repeated Warnings, Hunt Me Down/Naked/C-Link.... He also used church modes (in Eleanor Rigby for example). George was the one to really master classical indian composition techniques and put those one-chord-but-cool-melody stuff into Blue Jay Way and It's all too much. McCarntney used this technique in his solo for Taxman. It think they all were true masters, and which one you choose is a matter of taste, sympathy and prioritization.

Easy for me. Paul McCartney. Paul is the King of Melody. So many exquisitely beautiful melodies. And he was much more diverse. From "I Will" to "Helter Skelter" "Eleanor Rigby" to "Why Don't We Do It In The Road" "The Night Before" to "I've Got A Feeling" Yeah, man, it's McCartney

Paul was the better musician (exceptionally renowned in the bass world and even the guitar world) and the more dynamic songwriter who also had the more successful career after The Beatles split (though Lennon's was tragically cut short). The dude wrote Helter Skelter AND Hey Jude. He could write a catchy little pop tune like Paperback Writer and then pull Live and Let Die out of nowhere. Plus (in my opinion) he just outright had a better and more recognizable singing voice. A lot of people let the scale tip towards Lennon (or just outright choose him) because he died and was a controversial media figure. I'm trying to avoid subconsciously giving points to Lennon because of his tragedy, because that honestly shouldn't matter.

If George Harrison had only released All Things Must Pass and then retired, he would definitely be tied with Paul and John. If he had released All Things Must Pass and then got fatally shot, people would pick him as the best Beatle. But since he made a bunch of lame albums, his talent for songwriting has been severely overlooked. He is my favorite Beatle but John Lennon made several very decent albums in a short time before he died, which makes it look like he could have kept making good music without burning out like George did. I think that Paul has made the best career for himself and has released more decent albums over the years. Ringo is completely out of the question because he only has a few decent songs and not really any good albums, unfortunately. But All Things Must Pass takes the cake for the best post-Beatles album, in my opinion. Beautiful lyrics, guitar work, VOCAL work, which is always very overlooked with Harrison. Beautiful music.

Se Lennon estivesse vivo hoje duvido muito que ele teria metade do sucesso que Paul teve e ainda tem como musicista e performer.

Todos sabem que se não fosse pelo espírito de liderança do Paul, muita coisa não iria pra frente. E depois de mais de 50 anos o cara conseguir ser assim, é fora do normal. John foi um mito, uma lenda. O cara era muito humano, inseguro e sonhador, acredito que sim ele revolucionou a música, os jovens, a política, o que ele fez Paul jamais se enquadraria, os dois tinham alvos completamente distintos, então acaba ficando meio injusto compara-los. Mas a musicalidade que o Paul tem e sempre teve é muito transcendental, Não me leve a mal, só a minha opinião, mas pra mim Lennon foi um revolucionário, um ícone que confortou o coração de muitos e os deu esperança, igual a ele nunca terá igual, mas Paul sempre foi o músico, o artista, o cara que independente da sua profissão você olha e almeja chegar num patamar daquele, patamar que exigiu muita dedicação, talento, boa vontade e carinho pela música e pelos fãs.

Weirdo Reborn I didn't ask what it meant. Harrison made music into the 90s. Even if you compare their output from the 70s, Paul wins. Harrison was close, though.

Haut Strange That's your opinion ..... I'm more fond of John and George's solo albums

When I was in college, it was Lennon for me - I thought his music was so cutting edge. Now that I'm in my 40's, it's McCartney for me. I can really appreciate Paul as a beautiful song writer AND a really good human being. Together, they were above and beyond! Even George and Ringo were better that 95% of the musicians commenting on this AND there were some VERY good musicians commenting here too!

Paul was always focused on human emotion over everything else The Human Experience. He has the widest range of songs addressing human struggle yesterday let it be another day and too many people

The interesting thing to me was in viewing an in-depth video doc about their relationship, at the end it showed a piece of paper from one of John's sessions with a psychologist where there were listed various people in his life, and he was asked to respond next to each with one word. For Elton John it said, nice; for Howard Cosell: ham; for Yoko: lover; for David Bowie: thin; for Ringo: friend; for John(himself): great; for George: lost; and for Paul: extraordinary. So we can glean who John would have chosen from that I guess.

If Kurt Cobain was alive he would have said Lennon

As Sir George Martin said: "McCartney for the music and Lennon for lyrics" McCartney was a better musician/melodist/composer than Lennon; and I think that Lennon's lyrics were a little bit deeper. And a the end of the Beatles, McCartney became the leader of the group. "Sergent Peppers" concept?: McCartney. "The Magical Mestery" Tour Project?: McCartney. "Yellow Submarine" Project?: McCartney After in Solo it's not easy to say. Lennon composed between 1970 and 1975 (when Sean was born) and carried on in 1980 before his murder. And McCartney still composes a lot of good songs today (at the moment he is recording in Abbey Road new songs for a new album...again...) What about Pete Best? (....Sorry....)

McCartney was certainly the better musician, and in general he wrote the more musically sophisticated, harmonically complex songs. But the thing about Lennon & McCartney as songwriters was that they could both do what the other could do...if they put their mind to it. Lennon wrote some of the most beautiful Beatles melodies and, with songs like Julia and Because, he also wrote some of the most harmonically complex music The Beatles ever recorded. Similarly, Macca out-rocked Lennon with songs like Helter Skelter. Both were geniuses.

saxfreak01 Im talking about the quality of the songs, and not so much in terms of innovation. You can make an innovative song that would still be not very enjoyable. I'm not saying Helter Skelter is not enjoyable, but it doesnt have the quality that other Beatle Rock songs have. Lennon's ''She Said She Said, Help, Revolution, Come Together, Happiness Is A Warm Gun, Yer Blues, I Want You, Polythene Pam, Dizzy Miss Lizzy(Cover), Day Tripper, etc'' are unmatched. Now Paul has REALLY great rock songs. But on this area, Lennon wins. No, you dont have to start naming Paul rock songs now.

I use to prefer McCartney when I was younger because his songs had catchy and melodic tunes but man did I underestimate Lennon. Across The Universe and Strawberry fields Forever blow my mind every single time. Most Lennon songs have that magic feel that never gets old

@@eziospaghettiauditore8369 I said ethereal my friend . Idk exactly what you are saying , maybe John wasn’t much more abstract in that way than Paul, that is debatable. For my money I think across the universe and strawberry fields have it, maybe some don’t hear it....but obviously George was the most abundant in ethereal quality all the way back to love you to, then within you without you and blue jay way, to its all too much and the inner light...but undeniably songs like let it roll and many more on the all things must pass album are far beyond anything anyone was doing at the time in this regard. That album is full of mystical sounding tracks. George was the mystic of the group everyone knows that much.

I have not even finished viewing the first third of this seemingly superfluous video and I have already been stimulated by the some of the more detailed responses from the artist asked to choose between McCartney or Lennon. I thought this would be a stupid video but I was wrong. It really stimulates an intellectual discussion about the importance of the Beatles work.

McCartney, for me. Love the guy.

You can't deny that Lennon had the greater cultural impact and legacy. Imagine?! Come on. HOWEVER, I've always just like McCartney more. His voice is very sweet and I think his overall vocal talent was the best of all the Beatles. Obviously without John, George and Ringo, we wouldn't be having this 'debate,' but it's kind of a silly debate to have in the first place. Like I said, Lennon played, probably, the BIGGEST role in the Beatles success, with the raw emotion from his vocals to his legendary songwriting skills, but I personally just always liked Paul more. Not for any particular reason, other than the connection I made with his performances from an early age and so now as an adult, he's just my favorite.

I might disagree, but I like when someone like Ed Sheeran gives a bit of insight. Come Together is his favourite song. Fair enough. Love the Counting Crow's "analysis". I have a feeling that most of the responders just say the name. The fact that there seems to be a 70% preference towards Lennon is just a bit... "wrong" in my opinion because it shouldn't be this exaggerated if you really know the Beatles. Shows how most of the answers are biased. I wish I could hear something more articulate.

Are you fucking serious? Lennon wrote the international anthem for peace and love according to Carter. McCartney is one of the many run-of-the-mill singers that mainly wrote boy-girl love songs with no depth. He was the conservative convetional superficial materialistic pretty boy, Lennon himself called McCartney conservative, and I suspect that most people who like him have those qualities more so than the people who like Lennon. Lennon, as one of the people in the video said, was a rugged rebel and fighter for love that broke all the rules. Lennon v. McCartney is not even close in terms of global influence on politics and humanity. McCartney is merely just a musician and entertainer. Lennon was much more than that. Much more political, super liberal and open minded enough to marry an Asian woman. Fought for peace and love and cared about the working class more than any celebrity/singer/entertainer ever.

So much for supporting the guy who wrote the anthem of world peace. Ah, the irony.

My two cents: Paul wrote many brilliant songs, was by far the most gifted in an all-round musical sense - but John had a deeper creativity. It was John's creative spark that spawned the really ground-breaking tracks that kicked off their greatest albums: e.g. Ticket to Ride, Norwegian Wood, Tomorrow Never Knows, Strawberry Fields Forever, A Day in the Life. However, it was often Paul who made the biggest musical contribution in taking these tracks to their amazing final form - e.g. witness how A Day in the Life or Tomorrow Never Knows grew from John's bare demos. Impossible - and pointless - to say who was 'best'. Let's just rejoice in the fact that they found each other, and that their talents were so spookily complementary.
