It's a damn close thing. I get the impression most people go for Lennon, but perhaps his early death contributed to that adoration.
I go for Lennon: Strawberry Fields Forever, Help, I Am The Walrus, Girl, Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite, All You Need Is Love, most of Day In The Life, Mean Mr Mustard, loads of others...
On the other hand, McCartney: Yesterday, Hey Jude, Helter Skelter, Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (song, obviously, not the whole album), Fool On The Hill, loads of others...
Let's face it. One of the reasons The Beatles were so successful was that it had two genuine GENIUS songwriters in it. And George wrote a handful of classics too!
Don't even get me started on the multitude of classics I missed out!
Macca was a brilliant bassist but Lennon was the sole reason The Beatles were so brilliant and so important. Glad we got that cleared up.
McCartney is the most talented-PERIOD!
The major influence was George Martin.
Those two dildos wouldn't have done a thing without him.
Sorry, but it's true.
Lennon,No doubt.But...his wife.It makes me wonder..What the fuck was he thinking???
Mantits --Yeah, I have ALL of George Martin's CDs and I never miss him when he tours!
It's almost impossible to overstate the influence of Yoko Ono in the life of John Lennon, though Barry Chamish goes as far as anybody, suggesting that Ono was essentially Lennon's "handler" (insider jargon for the primary contact of a mind-controlled, or otherwise manipulated, person). Okay, let's look at this objectively: As an alleged operative for the Agenda, does Ono appear to reflect the requisite ties? And Lennon: As an alleged asset of the Agenda, does he exhibit the characteristics of one susceptible to mind control? The answer in both cases would appear to be a resounding "YES!"
At this point in our enquiry it's time to hear from consultant Margie S., who knows more about Dr. Winston O. Boogie than most: He believed strongly in extraterrestrial life, saw UFOs and was not afraid to say so . . he wasn't afraid to say anything really. He was an extraordinarily free thinker, when not immediately under Yoko's influence. Okay, Margie, cool. What more can you tell us about Yoko Ono? Margie: She has some royal ancestry from her mother's side, and her father was/is the head of an international Japanese banking empire (commonly an ancestral thing in that country, as well). She was highly educated in the most prestigious institutions, including one of the American Ivy League schools, Harvard or Yale . . . . Her influence on John came just as the Beatles' influence was waning. Just when he was on the brink of finding his own political and artisitic voice, she introduced him to heroin. Mixing her activities into his earliest solo endeavors, she reduced every one to absurdity, more easily attacked by the press. 'Yes, John, let's shout for peace . . . from inside a bag!' Every step he took, she countered with yet another infusion of nonsense -- in the guise of conceptual art -- that rendered his essential points ridiculous. I used to think she just had a really big ego and simply couldn't let him have his own career and independent success, but looking back, her interference really does appear calculated and systematic; certainly it was effective. Looking at 'bagism' alone you can see how utterly destroyed John's points were: His words were ignored because his countenance was hidden; it was immediately doubted that it was even him in the bag; and with no photo opportunities the press coverage was minimized, where otherwise his face alone would have sold millions of newspapers and tabloids worldwide in which his words would have been published, read and considered . . . . In spite of touched a lot of souls; but if it weren't for her, I think he really could have been quite a contender.
Very interesting. Thanks, Margie.
That was from *gulp* David Icke's website, but it makes sense doesn't it?
What does the poll say?^^^
Harrison
Mantits is right, George Martin was the major influence behind the Beatles success. The musical ability of all 4 Beatles might be adequate but they were all overated.
I am a total Beatles freak, the truth is, all 4 of them together made The Beatles.
What the hell are you talking about?! All You Need Is Love, Ticket To Ride, I Should Have Known Better, Girl, Norwegian Wood, Help! A Hard Days Night, I'll Be Back, No Reply, I'm A Loser, Please Please Me, All I've Got To Do, Not A Second Time, Strawberry Fields Forever, In My Life and many others are the best Beatles' songs! They are Lennon's songs! The album "A Hard Days Night" contains ten Lennon' songs! Shut the fuck up! "Yesterday" is not a great song to say McCartney is better. What crap!
Lennon's voice is much better. Listen to "I'm A Loser"!
