I mean, it's hard to compare since Paul had so many more years of personal and professional life for people to critique. But I will say, after watching the Get Back doc, I get why George never said a word. Or, rather, never had a chance to say a word.

I listened to a podcast that talked about how when they weren’t allowed to have non state sanctioned music in China there was an underground movement started by this dude who bought a big mountain of cassette tapes from the US that were meant for recycling. They had all been cut to prevent listened. He painstakingly repaired them and started distributing them. For the first time music was thriving in China except it was all out of the context we take for granted so people didn’t understand that some bands were born of others and music evolved from one sound to the next and so on. No one there really cared about the Beatles. To them there was nothing special about it.

My favourite Beatles song is probably 'A Day in Life'
In which case @endo, George Martin is probably your favourite Beatle

Oasis are a terrible band and Britpop was mostly awful. It killed guitar music for the rest of the 90s for me.

@endo funny how it seems
I’m assuming you were quoting the start of a Spandeau Ballet song

@mclaincausey Justin Bieber has sold over 150 million records. Radiohead has sold over 30 million records. McDonald's has sold hundreds of billions of burgers. The quantity of units sold doesn't always translate to the quality of the product.

You’re right. Fair point.

@seawolf that’s not what I was saying. I was saying that liking them isn’t an unpopular opinion. Nor is disliking them. I’m firmly in the latter camp.

I can’t take anyone who likes Phish seriously when they talk about music.
You know who you are.

@Matt I think you meant to say “I can’t take anyone who doesn’t like Phish seriously when they talk about music”.
