swa(y), I would argue that if someone likes green day, and does not take the time , or make the effort to listen to the circle jerks or screeching weasel, then that person is a straight up dipshit. and I'll say it to their face!
as far as the thread, I voted for John, because hi songs struck more of a chord with my own sensibilities. paul wrote some magnificent shit, no doubt, and his ear for melody is near unmatched, but john always wrote from the gut.
Yr Blues, for example. paul could never write that.
So Tired, another example.
Revolution 1, something lennon could do and paul could not (write political AND moving lyrics). However, my two all time favorite beatles songs were pretty much co-written by both,
A day In the Life, and
I Want You (She's So heavy).
It is a close race though.
and if it comes to just musical ability, Paul wins hands down. he can play anything, much like Prince, or Stevie Wonder. John could not play the drums!
