Default Lennon Or McCartney ?
Ok so they were great while they were writing together with the beatles but whose solo stuff do you prefer?

Is it live and let die? or imagine?

I've always preferred McCartney's solo work to Lennon's. McCartney has so many songs i love , Maybe i'm amazed for example i think thats brilliant also Band on the run (that's a superb album and a great track !) where as i can listen to lennon's but it just doesn't really do anything for me , although i do really like give peace a chance!

I recently saw McCartney live (last sunday actually) it was easily the best concert i've been to. The setlist was amazing , aswell as his performance and a day in the life was played live for the first time since it's release (in 1967!) which was a welcome suprise

Thats true about McCartney about some of those hits, but it's Lennon for me he's got the hits and the voice.

I love them both, but if I have to pick one it's Sir Paul all the way

I prefer Lennon's vocals and just prefer him overall, but I think I'd choose McCartney's solo stuff over his nowdays.

Instant Karma! for the win though, innit

Good job you mean the song. If Instand Karma was real we'd be buggered.

Hmm, this is a tough question. I've not been a fan of either for that long. Umm...I'll think about it.

I know, we'd have no limbs and no brains. We'd possibly be struck with thunder or run over by a car. Or struck with thunder whilst being run over by a car. Or we'd just be bullied to death...

I don't know which of those is worse.
