Paul McCartney

I'm not his biggest fan in terms of his music, but I fully agree with the OP.

If you're going to criticize the achievements of the likes of McCartney or wish him dead, then you have issues I think.

Well I have issues then, ok I thought ebony and ivory (what a pathetic deluded song that was) was wacko jacko as opposed to a sold out soul legend but come one, utter banal simplistic lyrics in every song.
I see no one has mentioned 'Give Ireland back to the Irish', a middle/upper class (millionaire) releasing a protest song, oh wow I am shocked and stirred into action. It sits alongside Phil Coilljns singing about the homeless when the bastard has an empty castle in Scotland, a mansion in the U.S. and countless other homes all empty for 11 months of the year.
If saying McCartney is a trumped up media whore who writes shite music means I have issues then so be it.
I am sorry but the the old joke remains good today, what do you call a dog with wings? Answer Linda McCartney.

Oh and Cliff Richard and Lulu were/are shite as well.

for some people if they dont like something...........it must be shite :)

Im not a big fan of his solo stuff but I thought some of it was very good, I really like his 1st solo album, Band on The Run, Chaos & Creation and I like the Fireman albums, oh and this is very good..

Moron and an idiot

Thought this was going to be an RIP thread.

Very disappointed.

The Beatles are dying in the wrong fucking order.

Macca's one of the greatest song writers of all time and is a living legdend. He's wrote some of my favourite ever songs but I wasen't to impressed with is solo stuff. But when it comes to real proper genius, Lennon is the man. Forget Dylan, forget Springsteen, forget Pete Townsend and forget Chuck Berry... Lennon is the greatest and always will be. Beatles material was class, solo albums were class. He is in a different league to Macca.

If you go to the British museum . There is a glass case.
Inside it are some original music written by Mozart.
Next to it is the paper on which Macca wrote Yesterday .
It says " Yesterday by Paul MaCartney . . added later are "and John Lennon . Strings by Mozart".
The British Museum obviously rate him alongsinde Mozart. Not a bad shout because these people come around rarely.

Hmmmmm...

Whilst I am more a fan of lennon, I have to admit that Paul wrote probably the higher rated songs like hey Jude, Let It Be, Yesterday, Here There & everywhere, and he conceived (and wrote most of) side 2 Abbey Rd.

Its a hard one for me cos Im a massive fan of Lennon, but melody wise I think Paul nicks it.

Im guessing that him and John will go down as legendary Brits like Shakespeare & Charles Dickens, men who gave the world something fantastic, its good because Britain never produced great composers of music, they were always European
