I like Paul but sometimes he would write songs like

"One, two, three, four
Can I have a little more?
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, I love you"

George probably didn't care all that much, he was the introverted type. One of my favorite anecdotes is how he did a guest appearance with Monty Python for one of their stage shows during the Lumberjack Song - he slipped into the chorus dressed as a Mountie, didn't draw any attention to himself, and no one even knew it was him.

For a long time I let Paul's solo career be defined by the likes of 'Freedom' and 'Silly Love Songs,' but then I recently became aware of the 'Paul McCartney II' album, which also made me go back and appreciate his better-known post-Beatles hits. It is kind of crazy how the needle of his talent pings back and forth between 'mind-blowing innovative genius' and 'good lord they actually let this guy be a Beatle?!'

Y'all are both wrong, the best Beatle is Ringo.

I guess. My point is he'd write something like that and then make something like Penny Lane, Yesterday, and Here There and Everywhere.

Paul was better at writing parts of songs, I think. But as the Disney doc shows sometimes the dude would workshop out a song in like 48 hours out of a dream he had.

Behind the Locked Door is so good.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuIXiy_eqzw

IIRC, it seems like a love song, but it's about Bob Dylan, who was in self-imposed exile from public stuff around that time. Must've been a nice sentiment, since Dylan did his Bangladesh concert later on.

I've always been at a disadvantage on this one, because I loved the Weird Al parody long before I got into the Beatles + their solo work:

So I can see pretty clearly most of the people in this topic haven't actually listened to any of George's solo work outside of the one album, because it was absolutely wretched for decades. By far the steepest decline in output quality I've ever seen.

I get that a lot of people can sympathize with being the "quiet one", but comparing the phoned in dogshit he pushed to McCartney's solo work or god forbid the Beatles themselves is ridiculous.

A few Wings songs are genuinely great (my personal favorite is "Let Me Roll It."). About half of them fall into the category of "I know this is silly / stupid, but dammit I still like it." And a few are "I know this is silly / stupid and I want to destroy it with fire."

Incidentally, I recently came to the realization that Christopher Lee and James Coburn are randomly on the Band on the Run album art (like they just happened to be in the area at the time and Paul wanted some buddies to play the prison gang), and I find that very cool.
