He loves him desperately. It's all in Freud. "That which irritates is beautiful." A bit like me with Brian Sewell or Phil Collins. I secretly worship them.
fuck you
I hate Macca

dont get me wrong, he had his strong points as well... oh darling, helter skelter. but when you're also writing songs for the album that are even more lame and cheesy than ringo's songs, you're really bringing your overall cool down.

Exactly As far as I'm concerned, Macca's ballads were great. Let it Be is beautiful. Problem is, he was more concerned with his twee, whimsical pop ditties and he couldn't pull them off. Lennon and even Ringo were better at that. I would take Octopus' Garden over half of McCartney's later output anyday.

same here. i'd also take 'dont pass me by' over ob la di.
Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da was a bit of cod-calypso just as rock steady, bluebeat and ska were starting to break into the mainstream in British music. I think Paul was trying to pay homage to Caribbean music, but he fucked up.

the point is, he seemed to be fucking up a lot in the later days, about 50% of his songs failed in execution and came off as incredibly cheesy and saccharine. even ringo's songs were better. by the end, paul was as much a parody as elvis in vegas. you could almost see him in a sequined suit on a vegas stage grinning with a line of dancers behind him as he put on a family friendly show sponsored by disney.

That was Paul's problem. He was too earnest with his musical knowledge. No one wants too hear whiteboy scouse calypso music. He lost the fucking plot in about 1966 and never regained it. He is tragic.

Nah, John was worse. Have you heard Mind Games, side two?

that wasn't a beatles album, was it? john was by no means perfect, paul just became incredibly lame by the end of the beatles.
Lady Madonna, lame? Hey Jude, lame? Back in the USSR, lame? Martha My Dear, lame? (It's light and about a dog, but it's not lame.) Blackbird, lame? Rocky Raccoon, lame? I Will, lame? Birthday, lame? Mother Nature's Son, lame? Helter Skelter, lame? Two of Us, lame? Let It Be, lame? Get Back, lame? The Long and Winding Road, lame? You Never Give Me Your Money, lame? Golden Slumbers, Lame? Carry That Weight, lame? The End, lame? Her Majesty, lame? (Okay, I got carried away with the last one.)

Hey Jude is the worst song ever.
As for the rest, fair enough.

yes to those (though i really like rocky raccon, it's the only kinda corny paul song i really dig, but it's still corny). plus the ones already mentioned. plus others. im not saying he didnt write a lot of great songs. im not saying his contributions to the beatles were negligible. im not even saying his best work wasnt better than john's. im just saying he's also responsible for the absolute worst, cheesiest, cornyball songs they ever produced, even above and beyond ringo. his best work may be slightly better than john's, but his worst stuff is light years worse than john's.

worst critique ever
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
the Beatles will always be regarded as the most important band, just as Nirvana will always be considered more important than Pearl Jam. life is tough.
i prefer Led Zeppelin and Bob Dylan to the Beatles.
i don't like Nirvana at all.
ain't going to change nothing though.

Nope well... maybe not the absolute worst. McCartney has worse. I hate it though. It's certainly the most unnecessarily praised song ever It's SO bad.

I dunno. I'd take Maxwell's Silver Hammer over Sun King, any day.

fair enough. im not a huge fan of sun king. but it bores me. ill take a song that just bores me over one that is so annoying it makes me question the beatles in general.

It was an anti-prog album statement, maaaaaaaan.
As for the rest, fair enough.
You're joking.
