TOP 9s... VERTICAL GENIUSES Paul McCartney

What has Paul McCartney ever done for us?

...Those melodic basslines?

What?

...Those melodic basslines.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, he gave us that. Yeah. That's true.

...And those wonderful tunes.

Alright, I'll grant you that the melodic basslines and the wonderful tunes are two things that McCartney has done.

...And Wings.

Well yes, obviously Wings. Wings goes without saying.
But apart from those melodic basslines, the wonderful tunes
and Wings...

...Cute doe-eyes?

...Happiness to millions, ...entertainment, ...great drumming too...

Yes alright. Fair enough.

...And that wonderful Scouse sense of humour...

Oh yes. True.

Yeah, that's something we'd really have missed if McCartney was never around.

...Brought loads of money into Great Britain.

All right ... all right ... but apart from those melodic basslines and wonderful tunes and Wings and cute doe-eyes and happiness to millions and entertainment and great drumming  and that wonderful Scouse sense of humour and bringing loads of money into Great Britain ... what has Paul McCartney done for us?

...Brought peace?


What!? Oh ... Peace, yes ... shut up!


He is also the only artist to have UK number ones as a solo artist, and as part of a duo, trio, quartet, quintet and as a conglomerate.


So stick that in your (peace) pipe and smoke it...
