His voice on 'Back To The Egg' is the best i've ever heard him in my opinion.
I don't know which one I prefer, but Paul has the better voice - in my opinion. He can transition from singing so smoothly to so rough effortlessly. His range is incredible. He may seem more of a "textbook" singer than John, but I think his voice is very distinguishable and unique. But on John's side...his voice in his "Be My Baby" cover is probably my one of my favorite John vocals.
Like at 0:35 here...The Beatles:Golden SlumbersI was happy when The Beatles stopped playing around with Varispeed.
I dont think its bullsh*t, I think (Pauls better than John) fans would read that with Paul tinted glasses and say its bullsh*t, but I can see where the guys coming from, Johns voice was more expressive than pauls, listen to Jealous Guy or Oh My Love from Imagine, his voice is full of emotion, thats not knocking Paul, its just fact.but they were both great singers who complimented each other......
In fact I have often found John's voice extremely annoying, for example the above mentioned "Imagine", it totally grates on my nerves. Or god, that song "Woman" from Double Fantasy. Makes me cringe.
People have no idea what constitutes a good voice nowadays if you ask me. They've been conditioned by rock music to prefer a raw, shredded style of singing and they think that's "emotional" but there are many, many ways to emote. Just ask Maria Callas, Harry Belafonte, Judy Garland, Harry Nilsson, or k.d. lang.

a lot of people like Adelle but her voice (and songs) grate on me somehow, listening to her for me is kinda like torture
Not to mention all the Auto-Tuning that is out there....seems like everything that's on the pop stations out here (North Dakota) has some instance of AutoTune. Used sparingly it's OK, I guess, but it seems (to me) to be taking the place of actual singing.
It's not really neccesary for them to demonstrate their full vocal range every 10 seconds!
Its all opinion of course but Im amazed there are Beatle fans that find one of their voices extremely annoying...I love them all, theyre all great singers IMO.
