The Beatles vs The Rolling Stones

Easy one this:

John Lennon wins...

Although that actual fight is a lot harder to decide, googlefight gives the following:

Giving Lennon the winner versus McCartney.

Which is kind of difficult for me, as I think that Paul was behind so much of what made the Beatles so listenable - he's a master of melody, writes some great lyrics, and knows how to structure some of the best hooks I've ever heard.

Maybe, just maybe though, the real answer lies in the combination of talent.

Any one have any other opinions?

Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band

Great album. Simpy astonishing.

Wanted to find out more about it. Some interesting stuff here:

Given the general quality, it seems interesting that only Paul thought it was amongst their best works.

After seeing the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy movie, I noticed this poster in the toilets. On every wall.

Based on the comments on the album analysis, I wonder what John would have though of it...
