Lennon or McCartney?

Which did you prefer as a talent? I'm talking about the musicians you clowns not togger players.

It's a shame they gave up on live touring due to crowd insanity...not nearly enough quality live audio exists. Would love to hear stuff straight off a sound board that wasn't from the studio or drowned out by screaming.
 

I was a bit of a Beatles obsessive as a young sprout (between the ages of 5 and 10 or thereabouts). For me McCartney is the more impressive musician (composer and instrumentalist) and Lennon the more impressive artist (notwithstanding "Imagine," which may be the worst song in the history of Western music).

Whaaaaaaaaaaat? :Blink:
 
Its the not the worst song in history but Lennon could have at least put a bit of effort rather than ripping off Don't look back in anger.

Jealous Guy was way better anyway.

In the last one, they did a list of the "Top 20 Drummer's Drummers" - basically the top ones mentioned by the contributors. They are below. Discuss!
Note before you get angry, even the program (Steve White) said it wasn't the definitive list, it was just theirs, so don't take it too seriously. No surprises with most choices, but I just thought it would be good to hear people's thoughts. Like they said, if it inspires someone to go check someone out, it's worth it.
1. Buddy Rich
2. John Bonham
3. Hal Blaine
4. Ringo Starr
5. Gene Krupa
6. Dave Grohl
7. Louie Bellson
8. Bill Ward
9. Billy Cobham
10. Ian Paice
11. Neil Peart
12. Earl Palmer
13. Ginger Baker
14. Steve Gadd
15. Cindy Blackman
16. Dave Daddy Kane (didn't get mentioned in all 4 episodes until the list)
17. Carlton Barrett
18. Jeff Pocaro
19. Clyde Stubblefield
20. Keith Moon
Personally, and I am by no means an expert nor right, I was surprised they had Jeff Pocaro and not Bernard Purdie, as he just went further with BP's idea? Also, with Cindy Blackman, it felt like they had put her in because they felt they had to include a female? I admit she is good (and most likely much better than I ever was), but top 20 ever?
Some of my personal idols that didn't make the series (not necessarily the list) were Mitch Mitchell (surprisingly barely mentioned at all) the Motown drummers, Al Jackson Jr (Stax), Greg Errico and UK drummer Pete Ray Biggin.
I did love hearing Jabo Starks humbly praising Clyde Stubblefield as though he was nothing in comparison!
I also have renewed love for Ian Paice, both his drumming and his personality after watching this series.
...and no doubt the most inflammatory bit for some - I totally agree with Ringo's inclusion - he was a massive influence on me."

This guy is the best drummer alive now Neil Peart is no longer with us.

The reaction videos from Drummers who watch this video on Youtube is hilarious who are blown away by the time signatures they do not understand or comprehend.
