Why is it just accepted by most that John was a better Beatle than Paul when the opposite is true? Is it because John's dead?

john didn't live long enough to make shitty sell out synth pop in the 80s

Some people don't like granny pop.

And they're plebs

what are you doing with that gun paul. You know guns are dangerous right

I think Paul is better than John but I haven't listened to John's solo stuff. I prefer Paul's grand sentimentality to John's rockist uptempo

Take that back right now, Paul!

Some reasons include:

O bla di
Your mother should know
The fool on the hill
When I'm sixty four
Maxwell's silver hammer
Honey pie

hello welcome to Sup Forums enjoy your stay

our favorite beatle is paul
but we like the beach boys more than the beatles
but not as much as king crimson
when we say "long season" we mean the live version
all of us are literally mark kozelek

Lennon was wackier and therefore more well-known.
Even though I don't agree with that, I see what you're coming from - but what The Fool on the Hill is doing in that list?

No Lennon, you leave Paul alone

It might be perceived depth of character based in their solo careers.
Steel and Glass vs Silly love songs
Working class hero vs Uncle Albert
Even if their music doesn't portray their actual attitudes.

NO! I WON'T LET YOU DO THAT!

Alright you fucks, I'm here for revenge.

listen to John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band and report back sweaty

Put it down. Now.

Sometime In New York City is the biggest load of shite ever recorded by a major artist and Pauls solo stuff is better just by not making records where half of it is his wife wailing like a witch

Your Mother Should Know and Fool on the Hill don't belong there.

>implying Paul isn't dead

good goy

I also think this is the reason. There's a perception that Paul made elevator music after The Beatles, whereas John was more socially conscious and had a message to his songs.

>not making records where half of it is his wife wailing like a witch
Nah pretty sure Linda was in Wings

Ringo was all around best Beatle anyway.

>I think Paul is better than John

This, as does most of this board I think. But Sup Forums disregards some of his really good solo work as well as strangely never mentioning his incredible vocals.

Some of it is probably just because John's dead though.

Paul wrote helter skelter so I guess he wins
