Not that that puts him in a party of one.<br /><br />M - To get to the bottom of Macca is like nailing jelly to a wall. He's always tried to be liked by everyone but never quite pulls it off. Anthology didn't do him any favours, apart grom the obvious influx of $$<br /><br />A - You've rumbled me! Working Class Hero, I'm Losing You and, maybe, the Rock'n'Roll album. After that it gets a bit thin. I'm only playing Devil's Advocate here - look back at old blogs and you'll see that the Dark Horse is really my mop-top of choice; to the point that my business partner and I named our company after him.John Meddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547777949324509522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248139855347807926.post-67371689201403792202010-09-13T16:13:47.066+01:002010-09-13T16:13:47.066+01:00It's too glaring an omission to make by accide...It's too glaring an omission to make by accident - you're not a fan of Lennon then? I rate <i>Plastic Ono Band</i> as highly as <i>Revolver</i> etc. And while I hardly listen to it <i>Imagine</i> has got more than a couple of great songs on it.<br /><br />That said, I think George is my favourite Beatle.Artoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846359529440273892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248139855347807926.post-75139827996092291322010-09-13T13:03:07.405+01:002010-09-13T13:03:07.405+01:00Macca's alway been my fave fab and where my mi...Macca's alway been my fave fab and where my middle name comes from...
