  - As a guy who has... - TWuG Jun 25, 20:15 4
    - Nice attempt. But it's more fun to argue with Ty. You are simply a cheap imitation. -- nm - Redmond Jun 25, 20:16 3
      - It's okay for you to be wrong. We're used to it. -- nm - TWuG Jun 25, 20:18 2
        
        Whenever I feel the need to be right. I just disagree with Guy. -- nm - Redmond Jun 25, 20:19 1
        
        Well, sure, if you want to go the easy route. -- nm - TWuG Jun 25, 20:20
- Somebody get Redmond over here. -- nm - Tim Jun 25, 20:14
some of Pauls work with Denny Lane in Wings does indeed rank with Paul's work in The Beatles. -- nm - Remlik Jun 25, 20:12 3
- yeah, Ringo's songs :) -- nm - peglegpete Jun 25, 20:20
- The factthat you are a music dude makes your wrongness that much more sad. - Spawn Jun 25, 20:19 1
  - well...a double dink on you! -- nm - Remlik Jun 25, 20:31
Here, I have a solution. Paul can be the King of Dudes Who Don't Merit A "King" Nickname. - TFox Jun 25, 20:11 8
- I will stick with Sir Paul. - Spawn Jun 25, 20:15 5
  - Word. Actual knight trumps media-appointed king every day of the week. -- nm - TFox Jun 25, 20:16 4
    - I'll take media appointments over some old lady in England. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 20:19 2
      - Then call him Paul McCartney. -- nm - Spawn Jun 25, 20:20 1
        
        Hey, stop being mean to kare. -- nm - Redmond Jun 25, 20:21
    - I like how this event had to be turned into a stupid arguement. - Spawn Jun 25, 20:17
- You're the King of Wrong. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 20:12 1
  - We knew that one already. "King of Crud", maybe? - Beryllium Jun 25, 20:13
Six of his albums are now in the top 10 at iTunes. - Tim Jun 25, 20:04 2
- So, refresh my memory. Who owns the rights now? -- nm - Spawn Jun 25, 20:05 1
  - Sony probably 80% and now likely creditors the rest -- nm - zork Jun 25, 20:07
As influential as MJ's song were his dancing may have been his bigger legacy. The first time I saw him moonwalk astounded me. - zork Jun 25, 19:55 1
- Yep. SYTCCD summed that up really well tonight. - Spawn Jun 25, 19:57
Why is Paul "only" "the cute Beatle"? Because no-one would know either Lennon or McCartney without the other. - TWuG Jun 25, 19:53 46
- a lot of people thought George was the cute Beatle -- nm - zork Jun 25, 19:56 7
  - no silly, Paul was the cute one -- nm - 'lia Jun 25, 20:15
  - Poor Ringo: "That guy with the huge honker that plays drums, Pete somebody or other." -- nm - TWuG Jun 25, 19:59 5
    - pssst - loosilu Jun 25, 20:00 4
      - Psst - TWuG Jun 25, 20:02 3
        
        pssst - loosilu Jun 25, 20:03 2
        
        No, I was purposefully mixing them up for comedic effect. - TWuG Jun 25, 20:05 1
        
        and I'm saying, I'm a dumbass and didn't get it. :) -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 20:05
- Also, when all is said and done, what will they be remebered best for? - Spawn Jun 25, 19:55 37
  - Exactly. *ALL* Paul's best work was done with the Beatles. Some of Lennon's best was done solo. - TWuG Jun 25, 19:58 36
    - wrong. Band On The Run, Live And Let Die, Mull Of Kintyre, Listen To What The Man Said, Say Say Say -- nm - zork Jun 25, 20:02 26
      - Eh. -- nm - TWuG Jun 25, 20:03
      - I like how your list spirals downwards so very fast. -- nm - Spawn Jun 25, 20:02 24
        
        heh. after the first two sure but he wrote plenty of songs with the Beatles that weren't as good as any on this list -- nm - zork Jun 25, 20:03 23
        
        The point is, even Paul's best solo stuff isn't better than his best Beatles stuff. Lennon, however has a number of solo songs that outstrip his best - TWuG Jun 25, 20:07 10
        
        Imagine and what else? -- nm - zork Jun 25, 20:09 6
        
        Imagine, Woman, Instant Kharma, Whatever Gets You Through The Night, Watching The Wheels -- nm - TWuG Jun 25, 20:12 4
        
        Happy Christmas - Spawn Jun 25, 20:16
        
        as with my list it goes downhill quickly - zork Jun 25, 20:13 2
        
        You, crack pipe. -- nm - TWuG Jun 25, 20:16
        
        and now the three words: Plastic Ono Band. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 20:15
        
        couple of Double Fantasy tracks rank. -- nm - Remlik Jun 25, 20:11
        
        *ding* -- nm - Spawn Jun 25, 20:09
        
        Not *that* many. and Lennon's crappy solo work outcraps McCartney's crap. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 20:08 1
        
        you are so correct about the crappy stuff. -- nm - zork Jun 25, 20:09
        
        But a lot more as good if not better than the first two on your list. See? -- nm - Spawn Jun 25, 20:05 11
        
        band on the run and live and let die are among the best rock/pop songs ever written -- nm - zork Jun 25, 20:08 10
        
        "among the best". Agreed. - Spawn Jun 25, 20:10
        
        Whoa, whoa, whoa! Put down the crack pipe! -- nm - TWuG Jun 25, 20:09 8
        
        Hey, it is a big group. -- nm - Spawn Jun 25, 20:10 7
        
        don't forget that later on both Lennon and McCartney wrote much of the Beatles songs pretty much independently and the band just performed the songs -- nm - zork Jun 25, 20:17 6
        
        it wasn't "later", it started very early. Yesterday was 100% Paul. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 20:18 5
        
        And yet they all bear the "Lennon/McCartney" credit. -- nm - TWuG Jun 25, 20:20 3
        
        did you know Paul tried to get that reversed for Yesterday? -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 20:21 2
        
        actually, wasn't it for the whole catalog? -- nm - zork Jun 25, 20:23 1
        
        only certain songs, but IIRC it mostly bothered him for the one song. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 20:25
        
        as was Michelle but still they mostly collaborated early on, and even did some at the end -- nm - zork Jun 25, 20:19
    - paul had good songs with Wings -- nm - dug Jun 25, 19:59 8
      - I agree he had some, but the bulk of it was in the collaborative days. -- nm - Spawn Jun 25, 20:01
      - Nothing as good as with The Beatles. -- nm - TWuG Jun 25, 20:00 2
        
        a lot of his solo work is underrated. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 20:02
        
        sure they were -- nm - dug Jun 25, 20:02
      - Yes, but you would think the world would have had enough of silly love songs. -- nm - Redmond Jun 25, 20:00 1
        
        the first record I ever bought was that single, the next was a K-Tel compilation with shortened versions of about 20 songs -- nm - zork Jun 25, 20:06
      - You know how many times I listened to Wings, and thought, "damn, that dude needs a better nickname?" - TFox Jun 25, 20:00
      - also solo. Maybe I'm Amazed. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 20:00
Everybody who hasn't seen Johnny Dangerously, raise your hand. -- nm - Max Jun 25, 19:53 15
- Love that movie -- nm - Stephen Jun 25, 20:14
- pretty sure I haven't -- nm - zork Jun 25, 19:56
- What is that? -- nm - Redmond Jun 25, 19:56 2
  - It's an adverb. -- nm - Max Jun 25, 19:57 1
    - ~Lolly Lolly Lolly get your adverbs here~ -- nm - Schoolhouse Rock Jun 25, 20:00
- *sits on hands* -- nm - dug Jun 25, 19:55 3
  - what??! You'll be better writer if you watch it. -- nm - Max Jun 25, 19:56 2
    - (what?? pay attention to what you polled, dope) -- nm - Max Jun 25, 19:58 1
      - *tosses a bundle of newspapers at Max's head* -- nm - dug Jun 25, 19:58
- Here! -- nm - nubby Jun 25, 19:55 1
  - There should have been a sub-poll of :Who do youthink will raise their hand?" - Spawn Jun 25, 19:56
- See this gun? It shoots through schools. nm - Jovian Jun 25, 19:54 1
  - This is the quote that Max used that I didn't recognize. -- nm - nubby Jun 25, 19:56
- I eat filet mignon seven times a day. My bathtub's filled with Perrier. - TWuG Jun 25, 19:54
- They are all farging iceholes! -- nm - Spawn Jun 25, 19:53
And now he's not even the first Dajuan taken. -- nm - David Jun 25, 19:46
Did twitter just disable Trends? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 19:46
whoa, whoa, whoa. TFox is arguing that Jackson and Presley had a bigger influence on pop than McCartney? -- (link) - loosilu Jun 25, 19:42 [Backboard] 20
- and he's correct....OMG -- nm - J Jun 25, 19:56
- i think that the Beatles had more influence but McCartney on his own would never have done it -- nm - zork Jun 25, 19:44 18
  - after reading Bob Spitz book on them...John and Paul really needed each other for the first several years.... -- nm - Remlik Jun 25, 19:47 17
    - no question, but that doesn't diminish the accomplishment of either. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 19:48 15
      - or to put it another way... because they were a team, they don't deserve a nickname? - loosilu Jun 25, 19:49 14
        
        I don't disagree...but they didn't need one. And I think British and American press realized...sure there was The Mop Tops and that kind of stuff. -- nm - Remlik Jun 25, 19:53
        
        Lennon and McCartney -- nm - zork Jun 25, 19:52
        
        Weren't they nicked Mop Tops or something? -- nm - Redmond Jun 25, 19:51 2
        
        the Fab Four -- nm - zork Jun 25, 19:52 1
        
        There it is! That is the nick -- nm - Redmond Jun 25, 19:55
        
        "The Beatles" -- nm - Spawn Jun 25, 19:49 8
        
        *still dinged, still being the correct answer* -- nm - TFox Jun 25, 19:55 7
        
        your name cannot be your nickname, dumbass. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 20:01 6
        
        A band name is by definition a nickname, but even still, you are not arguing for the Beatles, you are arguing for a fraction of the Beatles. - TFox Jun 25, 20:04 3
        
        not at all. A name is what you pick. A nickname is what other people pick. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 20:06 2
        
        Maybe Paul just isn't good enough to warrant a nickname. -- nm - TWuG Jun 25, 20:09 1
        
        That is why people say "Sir Paul". -- nm - Spawn Jun 25, 20:11
        
        Sure it can -- nm - Brit Jun 25, 20:02 1
        
        Ya think? -- nm - Cher Jun 25, 20:04
    - Without Ringo, it would have never worked. -- nm - Spawn Jun 25, 19:48
I am *so* tempted to subway up to the Apollo right now -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 25, 19:41 1
- lots of guys to check out? - zork Jun 25, 19:46
from b2: Back in grad skool days I had a roommate who put road kill in the freezer. -- (link) - loosilu Jun 25, 19:41 [Backboard]
My friend is going down to UCLA now. There is zero parking there now. I am not a fan of big crowds so I don't understand peoples' - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 25, 19:39 11

        *confused* -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 25, 19:48 2
        
        the church may refuse to answer this, but google can. Embrace the google. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 19:48 1
        
        Oh.. found it on wiki.. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 25, 19:52
