[Heeplist] McCartney & Wings

[DAVID M SHERROD]

It's funny how I really like all the Beatles albums, but mostly from Help on as complete albums, before that they all had a couple cool songs each. But as solo artist's I just can't compare any of them, I do like a couple each from John, Paul and George I just don't think they come close to the Beatles. In the Beatles it is easy to pick who wrote what, but the really good songs always had input from all the members even if it was just their style of playing. I know later on Paul wouldn't let George play lead, and he even played his own drums here and there, and they did two versions sometimes with George on guitar and one without. I used to have so many bootlegs from studio sessions outtakes and pretty much everything, one of my best friends was a true Beatles Greek, and I did hang out at the Blue Mennie record store and got to see and hear everything there was in the back room, same with the Doors.
