Oh, palaver all over me. I deserve it.

Yes, if he didn't not deny it that would mean he did indeed deny it. Why?

Hmm, I am considering it.

How is Paul not considered a musical icon/genius?

This is precisely the point. You do not possibly see how he could not be considered one of the greatest ever, and therein lies the point and problem.

Just because it's common practice to consider him one, doesn't mean everybody has to agree. It's entirely subjective. It is not a fact.

You cannot prove he is, because it's subjective.

Iconic? Yes, in my opinion. One of the greatest musical geniuses of all time? No, not in my opinion.

On the subject of his genius yes, it's opinion.

Songwriting ability can never be factual, since music is subjective. Stop trying to pass your narrow opinions off as fact.

Sorry, but you found the wrong guy. Im not the one who post his opinion as a matter of fact.

You do, you claim that it's a fact that Paul McCartney is a songwriting genius. It's not.

I was proving that anybody can say it (The four octave thing).

Lets see, an opinion about a musical artist is to like him or not. I dont like very much mike patton but i reconigze and respect his musical talent. To deny the musical genious of Paul Mcartney is just stupid. Is so stupid as to try to present our opinion like a fact, as centauri usually does.

Is Paul Mcartney an amazing songwritter and a great musical artist and a musical icon? Only heard yesterday, let it be, hey jude, the long and winding road, the fool on the hill, etc. His work is the best proof.

What a silly thing to prove. Silly. You, I mean. Not the thing. Though that is also silly. Though I stated that previously.

I know. Was still too funny, though. Imagining the subsequent violence.

That's not proof.

Thats no proof, why? Bad letter? , bad music? bad use of the instruments?bad rythm?

All it proves is that you like him.

It doesn't prove he's a factually great songwriter, because nobody can prove that. Not too sure why this is hard to grasp.

Its proofs that he is a great songwritter, another different thing is that you dont like those songs. But those songs are amazing pieces of music with great music, great letter, great use of the instruments, great rythm, etc.

To like or dislike one thing is a matter of opinion, yes, totally true. But to deny the talent of somebody, speciall a reconigzed musical artist like Paul Mcartney is , its pretty stupid for me. I could reconigze the talent of a certain musical artist, even if i dont like that artist of his work.

Like Baby One More Time, I want it that way and Window Shopper had great songwriting?

Is this still going on ? Everybody knows The Monkees were the most talented band ever, so what's the point in debating any further ?

No, it proves you THINK he is. It doesn't prove that he factually is.

Since when do you get to decide what songs I do and don't like? At least drop the whole "You don't like The Beatles" thing, since everybody can know by now that it isn't such.

In your opinion, not fact.

I recognise that he's a good songwriter, but that's just my opinion. If someone said "He's shit at songwriting.", I'd disagree, but that's up to them. They're not "wrong", just like you're not "right".

It's preference.
