Lennon vs. McCartney

[Mersey]

Who's songs do you like best?

[MidnightSpecial]

McCartney was the over all better song writer.


John had alot of fans but it was more of his activism that moved people...not this music.

[Oasis_Lad]

Lennon for me, though Paul often gets underrated.

i disagree.....Lennon was the better songwriter and singer IMO....McCartney was the better musician.......don't get me wrong, i love McCartney, if he were standing next to me i wouldn't hesitate to get on my knees and suck his ****, but i just think Lennon shades him in that department.....also Lennon's songs became much more personal and emotional eg mother, working class hero, God

Yeah, I heard a similar story that it revolved around the Civil Rights Movement.

Lennon and McCartney at their best ( Two separate songs combined to great effect ):
