I think the Beatles stuff was pretty original compared with what was around at the time. Obviously it had it's foundations. I grew up with it (and all the other sixties stuff). I love it and I think it's still valid even now. Maybe you had to be there, although I had friends at the time who didn't like them. Ok, they are only pop songs but with the brilliant George Martin they gained sophistication and developed their own sound. They worked hard in the recording studio compared with many bands of that era. In my book Paul has no need to contribute anything to music today. His past contribution is massive.
