John Lennon won the Rubber Soul battle and is now up 6-0 in my continuing series on who contributed more to each Beatles album, John Lennon or Paul McCartney. But it should be noted that at least half of those battles were very, very close so this hasn’t really been as much of a landslide [...]

Picking up where I left off yesterday (Help!) with my series on who contributed more to each Beatles album, John Lennon or Paul McCartney? So far John is up 5-0 but it should be pointed out that it was very close on a couple of occasions and that Paul won the “Who Wrote More #1 [...]
