Would anyone be interested in something like that?

Sounds cool to me. I actually just got an out of print CD with "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear" by Billy Burnette and Mick Fleetwood if anyone's interested.

Ooh that does sound cool- - Sounds like a good thread to start - and it sounds like something that'll kick my ass into actually learning how to post mp3s

But John was more of a lyricist - more of a poet, more of a thinker and politicizer...Paul was more the romantic..the mushy one...and as far as music goes (just music - not lyrics) Paul has John beat IMO. But even in that regard their styles were so incredibly different...

To me, Paul's stuff is better - but many a Lennon fan think it's mostly rubbish

that said - BOTH Wonderful Christmastime and Happy Christmas (War is Over) are on my Christmas compilation...I love them both

Yeah, I'm on the Lennon side. Paul is horribly dorky. But I do like his songs. However, if in a funk, his songs are going to make you want to kill him, which is more about your state of mind than the song. I happen to like this song. They're going to play upbeat Christmas songs in the stores because you will buy more.

Well not all his stuff is the mushy dorky stuff you hear on the radio - not that I'm saying you don't know more - I don't know how familiar or not you are with Paul's library....buuut he does have some great stuff for when you're down too (well in my opinion at least - but that's the opinion of a complete Paul lover )
