PopTodd Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Listening to Nova Mob's The Last Days of Pompeii for the first time right now. Loving it.I always considered myself to be a bit more of a Bob person, when it came down to the Hüsker arguement. But then, the more that I listen to Grant's post-band work, the more and more I become a big, big fan of his. I used to consider myself a solid John person, but it's pretty hard to say that now. When it comes down to it, I think that I really love George's stuff just as much as any of the John or Paul's? UT: Again, I was a firm Jay guy. And the first Son Volt and first Wilco records only made me more sure of my stances. Then, Jeff began to really grow and blossom around Being There. Do you get caught up in these arguments? Are they important in music discussions? Are they even relevant?Do you ever find yourself changing your mind about which side you fall on?And, do you really DISlike either? How do you make those decisions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I used to be very staunchly in John's corner. I still consider Paul a weaker songwriter, but I have more respect for him now than I used to. Paul has never written anything that does for me what numerous John songs do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 out of the two, i'd say Paul, but George was better than both keep in mind, we didnt really hear Harrison's writng skills till All things must past came out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lamradio Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I've never really thought of just John or Paul... Never even considered that a certain song was written by just John or Paul... I've always been a Beatles guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 That's like picking your favorite child. John, Paul, and George all have songs that slay me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sonicshoulder Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Are we talking the original Paul who everyone knows died in 1966 or the current imposter Paul? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Are we talking the original Paul who everyone knows died in 1966 or the current imposter Paul? Haha, the imposter Paul who just happens to be just as [or more so?] talented than Paul 1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pmancini100 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 i used to get caught up in these arguments all the time. i then realized that usually both parties give us a lot of great music. who are we to judge who is better? i find music more enjoyable when i care less about context.

PopTodd Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 I think that a lot of you are missing the point of the thread.This is not JUST about Beatle v. Beatle, but the whole A v. B debate within bands, in general. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tugmoose Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 John made Paul. Paul made John. I've read that Paul was the only person from whom John would accept criticism. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 The absence of Jay Bennett from Wilco still sticks in my craw..... -Robert Jay was not John to Jeff's Paul. He was more like Van Dyke Parks to Brian Wilson. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
