[Heeplist] McCartney & Wings

[Todd Clark]

Clearly, Lennon was an essential part of the Beatles song-writing formula, 
but I think McCartney had enough quality on his own to come close, if not 
match, the Beatles in that regard.  Yeah, his stuff was lighter and more 
pop-oriented, no doubt, but that was the case in the Beatles, too.  Even 
though all the songs were credited to Lennon/McCartney, it was easy to pick 
out which ones were largely Paul's doing.  Just my opinion, but I'd put Band 
On The Run up against just about any of the Beatles albums with maybe the 
exception of the White Album and Abbey Road.

Well, when it comes to success he has had plenty of that no question, but 
his quality of music just like all the other Beatles had not matched what 
they did as a band, very much like Ken and Heep, neither one has matched 
what they did together. But they have all had their moments on their own, 
but again that's just my feeling about it.
