I'll always be a diehard George Harrison fan, but if I had to choose between the two, I would probably have to say Paul. By a small margin though.

I like Pauls melodies, but John's lyrics....tough call...so if music, means 'no words', then Paul (who died in 1966)

the chemistry seemed necessary. Lennon continued to have some punch, Paul nada but together they were the best

I wouldn't die for either. I do like them both.
I guess Sir Paul.
Lennon/Harrison might be more interesting than some Sir Paul's silly love songs. They've all written good stufff. The music of a generation.

Difficult to choose. I think McCartney was more of a pop song writer wheras Lennon was more willing to take chances. #9 Dream is my favorite Lennon song. I would have to pick McCartney just because he has a larger catalog to choose from due to the untimely death of Lennon.

Lennon by far! McCartney wrote some good songs in The Beatles (Yesterday, for example), but then ruined it all with the tripe he wrote afterwards.

Harrison was always hit-and-miss, but he wrote Blue Jay Way and with that one song proved himself to be up there with the other two.

That's a toughie! I'd have to say Lennon. No, wait. McCartney. Hold it. I meant Lennon. Wait...

.Paul is a better musician, his melodies, harmonies, counterpoint, precision. John is an artist and one of his palettes is his music, emotional, raw, messy, spontaneous, inventive, beautiful and ugly. I prefer to listen to John
Its like comparing Rembrandt to Van Gogh.

We'll never know what John would have done had he lived until now.

Oh Man - Not touching this one with a 10 foot poll!
Plus, I always liked George Harrison.

Paul McCartney is a narcisstic , lying , egotistical, blowhard. John Lennon had a rough childhood , you can feel it in his songs.
