Without either of them, there would have been no Beatles as we know them.

10. john

hes the only one of the two that did any innovation...pauls stuff was just bubblegum pop. I think it can be summed up by A Day in the Life...awesome song...has pauls crappy pop part in the middle.

15. What about Hey Jude, Blackbird, Eleanor Rigby, etc?

Some of my very favorite Beatles songs were written by Paul.

13. John was the artist, Paul the craftsman.

Neither could have made it work without the other.

[Zuni]

14. It couldn't have happened without both of them

and for all the people who say John, Paul wrote some of the very best Beatles Songs and was a kick ass bass player to boot.

16. they were greater as a team than as two individuals

you know that saying I am having trouble with...Actually, I think The Phenomenon that was The Beatles would not have occured with one member changed out.

Paul was my fave as a little girl. but I grew up and have the bigger appreciation for George and John, now.
