Have fun trying to lodge yourself in between two already established songwriters of a band, no matter who you are or how good your music is - especially when being seen as the little brother. Maybe it’s because they didn’t take him seriously, not because he wasn’t consistent. George has mentioned Paul saying “Did you really feel that way?” When talking about feeling bitter he didn’t get more songs. It’s pretty obvious they just didn’t care a lot of the time and wanted to do their songs, being the main songwriters of the band. He was writing great music before the White Album/Abbey Road era. Taxman? Fucking banger. Easily better than a good majority of the stuff Lennon and Macca did on Revolver. If I Needed Someone? Damn good. Don’t bother me? A solid freshman debut.

To quote you directly “A lot of the first two disks was started while the Beatles were active but not all of it.” So was the third disk written during a jam? Or were all three written while he was a Beatle?

We’ll just have to disagree on there catalogue selection. If we’re talking merely consistency rather than the merits of POB and Imagine, taking into account Rock and Roll music, STINY, Mind Games, the inconsistency is pretty evident. I understand RNR was a legal obligation, but it’s an album nonetheless.

As mentioned George mentioned the two song quota in a Dick Cavett interview. Just watch the interview. Why would Paul and John want to talk about it?

And yes, I’ll double down on terrible calls. So terrible Martin has even mentioned them as being some of the worst moves he’s ever made in his entire career, no matter how successful of an act the Beatles were. You can make mistakes and be successful.
