10 “Greatest” Paul McCartney Songs, According to John Lennon

10 “Greatest” Paul McCartney Songs, According to John Lennon.

The relationship between John Lennon and Paul McCartney was never just about writing songs together. It was a 'clash of egos, emotions, and artistic intelligence' that lasted for more than a decade—and ultimately shaped some of the most influential music of all time.

From the outside, The Beatles looked like the perfect friendship. Behind closed doors, however, John and Paul were two opposing forces: John—sharp, confrontational, and unafraid to tear down myths, including his own. Paul—structured, melodic, and relentlessly perfectionistic, always trying to turn chaos into songs the world could sing.

After The Beatles broke up, John Lennon became the most ruthless critic of his own past—especially when it came to Paul’s music. Yet here lies the greatest irony: 'John knew exactly when Paul McCartney was operating at the peak of his genius.' That recognition—whether expressed through praise, sarcasm, or silence—can still be felt today.

In this video, we explore 10 Paul McCartney songs, that reveal moments when 'even John Lennon couldn’t ignore the brilliance of his former songwriting partner'. From the emotional exhaustion of 'Golden Slumbers', the mature calm of 'Michelle', and the whispered resistance of 'Blackbird', to the haunting loneliness of 'Eleanor Rigby'—this is more than a song list. It’s a story about 'rivalry, respect, and unspoken admiration'.
