There seems to be a common misconception, when anyone discusses the individual songwriting abilities of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, that Paul was the lightweight, melodic counterbalance to John's freewheeling, tempestuous genius. My view is that they were both creative equals, capable of inspiring each other to explore avenues of musical expression they would not normally go down. Many songs they wrote individually, within the confines of The Beatles, are testament to this.
