OK. My latest thread: If John was the progressive one, George was the spiritual one, Ringo was the fun one, then Paul was the...romantic one? But, didn't they ALL write and/or sing ballads, even later on in their career! So, how would YOU describe Macca in the Beatles' days? John Peel once mentioned something about the decency of Paul in a TV interview. But, it doesn't mean that the other Beatles weren't decent - except for some of John's antics and comments! Maybe we could see Paul as the 'productive' one - he wrote most of the songs!

Paul the diplomat? Paul the driving force? Paul the CUTE one! Oh, and I think Paul was just as progressive as John, so that's not fair to single out John in that area.

I wouldn't say cute - not directly connected to the music! I like 'driving force'. Can you think of a single word adjective to express it? How about - ambitious! Yes, I like that - Paul the ambitious one! You made my mind up, Ms. Sandra!

Paul was the CONSUMATE professional as a  songwriter, performer & musician in the Beatles just like he is today.

It's true, and that's what I meant, above, when I said, with Sandra's suggestion, of 'driving force', that he was the AMBITIOUS one.

How about this: John was the heart of the Beatles, Paul was the brains?

Just look at their early solo work... John's was insane (missing the brains), Paul's uninspired (missing the heart).

Their roles changed as the band and circumstances changed. I therefore don't think it's possible to tag either of them with a label that will stick over the bands entire career.
