There’s a Beatles song for every situation in life. ‘Let It Be’ will comfort you when you’re down, ‘Yellow Submarine’ rekindles the spirit of youth, and ‘I Am the Walrus’ underlines the wonders of the imagination. But do you know which Beatle sang all of these songs?
The question “who’s your favourite Beatle?” is an enduring discussion topic at BBQs and dinner parties. For more serious fans, it’s also a litmus test for how well they’ll mesh with someone.
The Beatles’ stylistic versatility brings eternal freshness to their 13-album catalogue. And the fact all four members performed lead vocals gives the band a multi-dimensionality rarely seen in rock music.
Paul McCartney’s generally regarded as the pop guy. He’s got endless melodic fuel, can belt out a monster chorus, and is prone to a bit of silliness. John Lennon, while no slouch in the pop department, was known for his more emotionally revealing contributions to the band’s albums. Lennon’s nasal vocal tone was never a hindrance either – he could scream and shout just as well as he could perform tender, heart-baring ballads.
