GUEST,glueman Paul McCartney (66* d) RE: Paul McCartney 15 Dec 10


I'm not saying the Beatles weren't a decent pop group, I'm questioning the pedestal they've been put on. In a reasonably sized collection I don't own a single Beatles record nor have any desire to acquire one and don't feel I'm missing out. Not one of their records move me in any of the ways music can.

The Beatles came at the peak of 45 single sales, a booming youth market and transistor radios. They couldn't have happened at any other time before or since. Among mainstream guitar boy bands The Beach Boys are as interesting and individually the band members (Ringo aside) have done material equal to their Beatles stuff, without it having quite the same effect. Anyway this thread is about Paul McCartney and whether he has anything to contribute to music today.
