correct poll options: "Are you so much of a fanboy as to be considered legally blind to the obvious truth?" or "are you not?"

I think I like how this is turning out : GREAT POST!

The Other Mike · « **Reply #3 on:** March 19, 2008, 03:43:08 pm »

the question is: Which is which?

also: Colon!

p.s. seriously, I don't mean to disparage either of your songwriting abilities but as someone who is not even the hugest beatles fan, it's hard to deny that those dudes are songwriting juggernauts.

Spoiler for Hiden:

p.p.s. Did you catch the irony there?

as great as the writing duo of brummel/slegr are, LENNON/MCCARTNEY ARE THE BEST THERE EVER WILL BE.

Harrison

I guess my next poll should be Harrison vs. Jose.

These are some strikingly similarities. I think Brummel and Slegr need a larger body of work to even be uttered in the same sentence as Lennon/McCartney, though.

I don't know. I want to say the Beatles aren't really known for their songwriting. [Hence, screaming girls drowning out music]

I had to vote Lennon/McCartney for Maxwell's Silver Hammer alone.

I Like Ozma · « **Reply #12 on:** March 20, 2008, 08:15:12 am »

i do not believe john lennon had any assistance in the writing of maxwells sliver hammer. although it is credited "lennon/mccartney"

lol

Just imagine if you'd had the opportunity to write WITH Lennon and McCartney. Just imagine how good The Beatles would have been then.

I read that lennon hated that song.

I Like Ozma · « **Reply #16 on:** March 20, 2008, 04:26:01 pm »

now that we are kinda on the subject. Mike, the writing under your picture makes me think of "i dont want to spoil the party"s lyrics a little.

and also speaking of songs that john didnt like, i heard that whenever they had to play "a taste of honey" live, they would sing "a waste of money" instead. YET WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SONG IT IS!

The Other Mike · « **Reply #17 on:** March 20, 2008, 07:30:50 pm »

it's from a replacements song.

sometimesrock · « **Reply #18 on:** March 20, 2008, 08:50:06 pm »

now there is a songwriter that should be in a poll.. Paul Westerberg.. One of the greatest songwriters of the last century.

Oh yeah, I forgot he wrote that. Coincidently, that was my favorite Yes Dear song. I guess that makes me realize just how great Jose's album is going to be.

wasn't it jose AND nate?

CantelopeSkiz · « **Reply #22 on:** March 21, 2008, 11:22:16 am »

No, it was not Jose AND Nate. Nate is just the singer, on Alright.
