RonJonSurfer Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 I thought Paul was dead...maybe that's old news.
edna Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 I thought Paul was dead...maybe that's old news. Yes, it´s true... That would explain why all he did before his death was good and all he did after his death was... not so good...
_Laurie_ Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 I though people became more famous after they were dead?
Kevin Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 'Band On the Run' ...Well ??! (tapping foot )
edna Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 No takers...? (impatient graemlin) Kevin, I still prefer "Ram" or the first album...
Kevin Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 That's fine , but it's a good album ... give it that , at least !
Sweet Jane 61 Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 I have to pick John Lennon. And I didn't really pick a favorite Beatle until I was in the 5th grade. I loved them and my Aunt gave me her albums, but I didn't have a fav, until my one friend, Martha took me to her house and they had a music room, her brother and her played all different instruments, anyway, her brother was 17 and totally into the Beatles. And on this day he played Beatle albums for us and talked about the songs, the group, and read us liner notes. He then went on to talk about the differences between Paul and John. And he favored John, and by the time I went home later that day I favored John too. He was the one who spoke out and said what he wanted and he didn't do it to impress anyone. That is what we all should do. So I thank my friend Martha's brother John for showing me the Beatles were more than just a group, they were individuals.
edna Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 That's fine , but it's a good album ... give it that , at least ! Kevin, I must confess I just know the "Band on the run" song... I lost all interest in McCartney´s work many years ago...
daslied Posted October 14, 2005 Report Posted October 14, 2005 (edited) Edna, if you can find it, you should check out the demo/bootleg thing Paul did with Elvis Costello. I believe it's called "The McCartney/McManus Tapes" or something similar. It's got "McCartney" and "McManus" (EC's given name) in it, anyway. I think it's from around the time Paul did "Flowers In The Dirt" and Elvis did "Spike", and they co-wrote a handful of great songs. "Veronica", of course, was on Elvis' album. "My Brave Face" was on Paul's. But the versions on this bootleg are all pretty much two guys with acoustic guitars - fantastic, lo-fi stuff. "Tommy's Coming Home" and "Mistress & Maid" are my favorites, though the acoustic "Veronica" is 1000 times better, I think, than the single version. Anyhoo, Paul hasn't sounded so inspired before (solo years only, of course) or after. And Elvis is, well, Elvis. Sorry this isn't really related to the topic, but it's something good for non-fans of solo Paul to check out. Oh, and my favorite Beatle is John. I think solo-wise, though, that George put out a record lights years above any of the other three, with "All Things Must Pass". Edited October 14, 2005 by Guest
_Laurie_ Posted October 15, 2005 Report Posted October 15, 2005 I agree das...all things must pass is very good!
Steel2Velvet Posted October 16, 2005 Report Posted October 16, 2005 To those who say Paul can't rock or John lacks a sensitive side, I would suggest again listening to the White Album's "Helter Skelter" and "Julia." And say what you will will about the talents of Paul, he is still the only person who had more than 50 hit songs with John Lennon as his backup singer.
Skuff Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 Ever since we got our 1st Beatles Album (Abbey Road, at least I think that was our first 1) on CD, my favorite was Paul. Now I'm beginning to enjoy solos and post-Beatle bands of both. George and Ringo are still yet to be discovered for me! But... Paul is my answer.
RubberDucky Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 I like Lennon....he is one of the biggest music legend lived
MJJ Productions Posted March 22, 2006 Report Posted March 22, 2006 It used to be McCartney. Musically, I guess it still is. But he needs to get out of my province and stop preaching about seals Heather McCartney has him so whipped. Lennon = Love.
Elvish Posted March 22, 2006 Report Posted March 22, 2006 ...he needs to get out of my province and stop preaching about seals Heather McCartney has him so whipped. He was an activist long before he married Heather Mills.
Melquiades Posted July 8, 2006 Report Posted July 8, 2006 My left or my right eye? Very annoyin to answer question. Let me say both are great n no more
edna Posted August 28, 2006 Report Posted August 28, 2006 I changed my mind. I was listening to some McCartney´s songs at a friend´s place the other day, then I tried to download some of them but I couldn´t find what I wanted. So I guess I´ll buy his two first albums ("McCartney" and "Ram") because I´m loving "Monkberry Moon Delight", "Maybe I´m amazed", "Every day" and others. Now I don´t hate him that much anymore... i forgive him for breaking my Beatles and he looks so pitifull after his last Heather Mills episode...
katie_sane Posted August 28, 2006 Report Posted August 28, 2006 I'm going through a Paul McCartney phase too edna, I've been listening to his albums 'Venus & Mars' and 'Ram' too. I really like the song 'Letting Go' and 'Monkberry Moon Delight' is awesome too.
PSYCHOcatholic Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 Lennon...ive grown up with my mom listening to him, i just got used to him. Not to mention i have his whole discography.
Ombre Vivante Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 Paul. I can't get past john's egocentric-bigger-than-Jesus self, which clashed with his hypocritical persona he was putting out there. Adding insult to injury, he was a dead-bead dad to his son, Julian. Too bad, because I used to enjoy his music until I found that out about him.
RonJonSurfer Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 I don't let the personal side of musicians lives dictate whether or not I like or listen to their music. I won't stop loving John's music because he wasn't the greatest Dad or husband.
The Seeker Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 Too bad, because I used to enjoy his music until I found that out about him. That's a funny criteria.
Danielj Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 Lennon FO SHO. McCartney I find to be too poppy and commercial.
