Well I suppose all that we agree on is that George is pretty fantastic.

I will say that Paul wrote two absolutely fantastic songs solo, Maybe I'm Amazed and Band on the Run, and one great song, Live and Let Die, while the rest ranges from decent to Wonderful Christmastime.

Except I'd argue that the real presence behind the avant-garde elements of John's solo material was actually Yoko (witness the Plastic Ono Band).

That's to argue John wasn't already interested in avant-garde and world music before Yoko Ono. I'd say he was minutely interested by avant/progressive concepts a year or two before he even met Yoko Ono (Magical Mystery Tour, etc).

True, although that could be said of most of the Beatles.

I've been in Tennessee all week, and I think they changed the state mascot to meth while I was gone.

Just found out a couple of days ago that the MBV finished mastering their new album last week. To say that I'm excited that the new album is finally coming is a tremendous understatement since we first heard the rumblings of something in 2010.

AWK on RB? Thank you. Best day ever.

It's about damn time, that's for sure.
