So why go with Paul McCartney as the King of Pop?
(That choice seem kinda bandwagonish.)
I always wondered whether The Beatles were lucky being at the right place at the right time or whether that they earned it, so I'm open for discussion about Paul McCartney (not falling into either camp of idol worship or hater) - I like to see both sides of the issue. Some people feel the momentum behind The Beatles as being hailed the greatest Rock Band of all time is public opinion - the industry gave them an unfair advantage. So in their opinion even if they achieved chart success it was due to the music industry manipulation of public opinion. Other feel The Beatles were geniuses especially Paul and John and they would go down in history as Beethoven or Mozart of their time. I on the other hand prefer J.S. Bach over Beethoven or Mozart.
