Cos George was the best beatle
Most musicians have a finite shelf life, especially those who become fabulously wealthy.

In comparison to the Beatles output they were woeful.

Typical SMB, you're either amazing or shite. No middle ground.
That's completely different though. They weren't shite.
And no one was as good as the Beatles in their prime.

I think it was the best thing to happen for his career.
Yup. Working Class hero, Jealous guy and then erm
Paul can't think of anything.

I'm losing you is his best song. And he's wrote plenty that aren't "woeful".
I'm with you on McCartney mind.

True, but it's also true that people splitting off from successful bands try harder and are better. For example Robbie Williams and Beady Eye.

And with that, the wind up was over.

Are we classing Wings as McCartney solo?

Sorry but we will have to agree to disagree. The 70s were unkind to John lennon. He may have had a rebirth and re invention if he had not been killed but he was terrible in the main once he left.

No.
