One of them owns the used car place at Colne, the other doesn't.

I’d rather listen to Strawberry Jam than The Jam. Quite possibly the worst band, ever. The Spice Girls were better.

I preferred Paul Mcgee, he was so good we took more care of him.

I don't particularly like both but McCartney's song writing is on a much higher level to Weller. If you get into the music theory behind it all then it is pretty obvious.

2/10 Try to transfer some of your core movement into the shoulder as the rod comes over, and release the line a fraction earlier. That will ensure the splash is reduced significantly, thus increasing your chances.

I liked Weller in the Jam, but the rest of his stuff..well.

McCartney was a Beatle , that's hard to ignore.

Legendary musician Paul McCartney sat down with 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi for an in-depth chat about his new album, Egypt Station, and he revealed something rather contradictory: he is unable to read or write music, and neither could any of his Beatles bandmates.


Despite his songwriting success, the 76-year-old admitted he was embarrassed about the fact that he doesn’t understand music theory.

“I don’t see music as dots on a page. It’s something in my head that goes on.”

Many musicians don't read. Probably the best ones.

Anyhow, here's a track from McCartney:

Such a daft comparison. You might as well throw Paul Simon and Paul Anka in there as well.

I like the The Jam and Style Council, but can’t stand Weller’s solo stuff. Far too bland for me.

McCartney was the better half of the greatest ever songwriting duo

I met McCartney many times whilst restoring his house in Sussex thirty odd years ago, he was a really pleasant and very down to earth chap, though his wife Linda was as mad as a box of frogs; we spent about £5k of Paul's money making lions smile for her.
To be fair I once met Paul Weller as well and he was nice enough too; he autographed my 'In the City' LP outside Northallerton Community centre, in about 1976 or 77.

I can only admit to meeting McCartney once - I got the same impression of him too. I have to say that I thought similarly about Linda although it was only a brief chat.

I've only ever met, to my knowledge, one Paul Weller who is an advertiser on this message board.

Weller's solo stuff has been a touch patchy yes but the best of it is brilliant. The lastest album, On Sunset, is one of his strongest solo albums too. Overall it's a bit of a daft question as both were prodigies and are phenomenal talents really.
