An interesting 10 year experiment
The good news is The Wedding Album is no longer the most boring way to kill (murder, actually) 35 minutes of your life.

Finding it neither "interesting" nor much of an "experiment", I bailed after about 1 minute.
The SHites? They fucking watched the thing!

It is interesting how many people (especially actor's) seem to think that Lennon is the correct answer, because he is seen as 'cooler', and how many people hesitantly say McCartney. If the results were anonymous, I can imagine some of the anwers being different.I forget what a pinhead this guy is; the proof that the only thing more retarded than a Beatard is a Maccatard. I wonder how themess gets inside everyone's heads and thinks these celebs are worried about coming up with the cool answer? Two thoughts: I think a lot of people were trying to even remember the difference between the two (or even who they fucking are), because such distinctions are as arcane as asking if Shemp was more of a Stooge than Curly. Also, John Lennon stopped being "cool" around 1972 if not 1969. Too bad he let a snobbish aristocrat give him career advice and curate his estate; in retrospect, everything from Bed Peace to hanging with the Yippies was a big demerit in coolness, and he never won it back again. Surely his infantile naked Rolling Stone cover wasn't going to lead to anything cool had he lived. Frankly, the terminally uncool Paul was the cooler of the two by default for a few years there before Lennon's demise. Nothing about the way Lennon has been repackaged and reinvented since his death makes him seem cool; there is something very sterile and emasculating about his image now.
However, the Beatards are missing the larger picture... There is absolutely nothing "cool" about being a Beatles fan at all. Zilch. It is like reaching for the easiest default, like saying Coca Cola is your favorite soft drink. It implies no edginess, no fashion trend setting, no thrill of adventure, no risk taking, no special intellect, no vision, no testosterone, no willingness to challenge anything, no real interest in music, no political stance (beyond a bland conservatism with fruity liberal shadings, all safely middle of the road), no interest in the now, and no aesthetic principles. In other words, anything that might make someone cool in 2017 is utterly lacking. Claiming the Beatles were overrated or even lame or just a boyband, right or wrong, would be a cooler stance to take.
What else we got here?

I truly don't mean this in the :magoo: Get off my lawn! sense, but should I be embarrassed that I'd not heard of probably 75% of the people/groups interviewed here? Anyone in there I should check out? Very entertaining. Thanks for posting.Oh, they are just 500 famous people. I wouldn't expect you to know them. "Very entertaining", really?!?

The biggest stupidity with people "afraid" to answer in Paul's favor is that they probably have no conception how CRUCIAL Paul was to some of John's most famously adventurous material. I can say it all in three words: Tomorrow Never Knows.Oh get bent, Pete. Yes, they looked "afraid" to answer Paul, you never know who might be listening. THERE IS NOTHING STUPID ABOUT NOT KNOWING OR CARING HOW FUCKING CRUCIAL PAUL WAS TO TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS YOU FUCKING IMBECILE.

An interesting and fun experiment. But, I'm not certain what this "experiment" proves, or is meant to determine.
Are all 550 respondents familiar with the music of both?
Their answers may be primarily based upon the solo music they're familiar with, whereas my answer may weigh heavily on the Beatles songs they're responsible for.
I think the best answers favored when Lennon and McCartney wrote together.
Christ on a crucifix, man. Fucking nobody bases their answers on solo material; nobody fucking remembers anything more than "Imagine" and "Band on the Run", if that. You just spent 35 minutes listening to two words over and over, and you are analyzing how much you will "weigh" your answer toward Beatles songs? You maroon.

Am I missing something, but what's exactly the question? Lennon or McCartney what?The question was: who did delmonico's mama blow in the janitor's room?

Mot likely these young guys who say Lennon can't name 5 of his songs, but think he's cooler because he's deceased.Lock them in a room with Two Virgins playing for 24 hours straight.
Dude, just fucking face the truth. McCartney is about as un-fucking cool as your uncle. The only cool thing about him is his money. Nobody needed an excuse not to pick him. I tell ya, these Macca fans never can comprehend why the world is not interested in their idol.

McCartney.If it wasn't for him the Beatles would have probably split in 1966. Thanks to Paul we have albums like the White Album and Abbey Road. He was also a better songwriter and musician.
Great video btw, I watched the whole thing.
SEE? BEATARDS ARE RETARDS! Watched the whole fucking thing, eh? Great video, you say? You have mush for brains. And the Beatles weren't gonna break up in 1966, you fool. You got all the albums that were coming.
