Certainly in terms of composition, McCartney was the better of the pair,
although since he tended to write more conventional stuff, he was noticed
less.
If you sit down and listen to the Lennon catalouge, there is a lot of less
successful stuff in there, amongst a few really good stand out tracks.
I often think that, if the Beatles had never happened, Paul would still have
been a big success, John would not have been really noticed, and the world
would have been a lot poorer.
