It's cool how you called your own fail.

Gurn Blanston

Thank god, one I can vote in!   Lennon, of course. He was a minor god. 0:)

His lyrics were better, but Macca wrote all the hits.

Lennon, even though he seemed to think that he was a god. >:D

the phone rings and somebody says,
"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."
                               --Charles Bukowski, "Mahler"

Mike Oldfield (on his best days)


But also, there isn't a dud in Sarge's list.

Mike Oldfield (on his best days)

Hard to believe his musical roots were here --



(I suggest these weren't his best days.)

I voted for John. We all know that in these non-blue-hair music, the lyrics make the hits.
Do what I must do, and let what must happen happen.

Paul with his Beatles contributions very nearly equals John for his Beatles contributions.

Post-Beatles John was a one-hit wonder (Imagine). But Paul strung together many hits (not least Jet).

So, Paul.


Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

I agree. Of course, post-Beatles John had the "Oh, No!" handicap.
