I listen to the songs written by Paul on Abbey Road, Sergeant Peppers, Revolver, and the White Album and I reach a different conclusion. He also was superlatively unique. Paul, who ultimately couldn’t stand John after Yoko arrived, added genius in his own way and if you removed him from the band they wouldn’t be remembered as best of their era as they are now.

I totally agree with you. Paul was (and is) a real musical genius. He wrote some of the best of Beatles songs and his lead guitar on "Baby You Can Drive My Car" and "Doctor Robert" is superb.

I would also point out Paul’s first solo album, which as truly a solo album in every sense of the word, that every sound on it was produced by Paul.

Maybe I’m Amazed is great, but there are other hidden gems, like “Junk” and “Every Night.”

A Dunn y story from 1994. Paul came to Memphis and played the Liberty Bowl. His first song of the night was “Drive My Car”. He totally blew the first few words. He stopped and said let’s try that again. A great nearly three hour concert. The first of three for me.
