In that case make your list longer haha

 

You can't leave out Springsteen - he's at the very top table with Dylan, Lennon, Macca, Bowie, Elvis. 

 

I'm not sure I'd put Leonard Cohen in to be honest. He's near the top, but not at the very top. I would have Prince in, as had been mentioned.

 

And Buddy Holly. 

Elvis didn't write anything did he? They just bullied the songwriters into giving him a writing credit or he wouldn't record the song.

Smokey Robinson

Stevie Wonder

Neil Young

Peter Davison

B side of Abbey Road is mainly McCartney and probably one of the best b sides to an album ever. 

Can't argue with that, it should be in everyone's cookbook.

This thread title is a cracker. Only on here could you put a tribute,mostly,to one of the greatest artists ever to come from the British Isles in such a way. God bless the GF.

 

[manwiththestick]

I started this thread and to be honest I'm slightly embarrassed by it so apologies, I must have been a bit pissed.

 

Yes, he is a bit cringy at times but he's still an absolute legend and I was brought up on their music so I love him and The Beatles.

 

Feel better now.

[easytoslip]

No, great songwriter a great Bass player as well as other instruments he plays. 

A member of a great band and a multi millionaire, so no I wouldn't of thought so. 

Thumbs up and peace sign.

He doesn't say anything too controversial but defo worth a worth.

I liked the dear prudence story and there is a good bit about what Lennon says about him.

Yeah definitely. I’ve heard a lot of the stories before but it’s still dead interesting.

McCartney 3-2-1 was fascinating. Well worth a watch

80 yesterday- https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/jun/18/sir-ringo-starr-among-those-wishing-sir-paul-mccartney-a-happy-80th-birthday

 

He's always seemed a bit naff to me- I was a teenager in the early '80s- long past his heyday- and this list of 30 of his best post-Beatles songs demonstrates why- https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/jun/16/paul-mccartneys-greatest-post-beatles-songs-ranked. There's a lot of bland stuff in there, and it doesn't even include outright travesties like Ebony and Ivory, Mull of Kintyre or the Frog Chorus. Still, the Get Back sessions showed him in a very good light, such a shame he and Lennon couldn't work together for longer; together they were much greater than the sum of their parts.
