Raggytash........I too was not born in the sixties, and do not consider them as my "heroes", I just found your statement that "a good deal" of their output was crap, a tad over the top.

And can not see the relevance between Macca's solo efforts and the Beatles' repertoire.....why would/should they be of similar quality/importance,call it what you will.

And the music business is a money making business, as are many others, The Frog Song made them money..........love it or hate it, those croaky little chaps made the books balance.
