Lennon or McCartney?
I was having this debate with my mate the other day; who does everyone think made the better music post-Beatles??
Before you ask, we didnt think George Harrison and Ringo Starr deserved to be put through the misery of losing tremendously in this poll so they were gracefully left out lol

Re: Lennon or McCartney?
Why? George Harrison wrote some fantastic lyrics and for me “Sometimes” is hard to beat, no pun intended. This is a hard one really, but on the face John Lennon wrote many meaningful and haunting songs after the break up of the group. “Imagine” and “Woman” will always be at the forefront of peoples minds when asked to make a choice so I would say Lennon, but I reserve the right to change me mind should I want too….Actually there’s a Lennon CD out now, if you haven’t got ask for it for Christmas……….

Re: Lennon or McCartney?
I'm in two minds, and can't decide.
Cynthia Lennon did some wonderful bed linen for BHS, but Linda McCartney's range of vegetarian meals really were tip top.

Re: Lennon or McCartney?
i know Harrison wrote some fantastic stuff; which is why the Beatles song 'Something' is one of my faves of all time; but the original debate that me and my mate were trying to settle was over lennn/mccartney....didnt think there'd be any point bringin george and ringo into the debate now

Your right young chap, it is "something" and I'm needing my medication.
No worries this is a good call and I'm looking forward to seeing how it develops. All the best....

Re: Lennon or McCartney?
Lennon gets it for me aswell...Imagine is the best album i have ever heard, mind games is an absolute gem though.
Instant Karma is my favourite lennon song....changes between that and Imagine

Re: Lennon or McCartney?
i dont think thats true; i think the creative genius that was John Lennon gradually disappeared after meeting Yoko...which is why his best work is some of the earliest solo stuff ie imagine.

Re: Lennon or McCartney?
My personal choice is Lennon, though I think they were both extremely talented.
