Lennon and McCartney started writing when they were very young. in fact some of their early tracks were written when Paul was 15/16 but not recorded until later. His father was a good pianist and he liked the old 1930s/40s party singalong tunes and you can still hear that in a lot of his songs later on. Lennon was good at poetry and weird lyrics, McCartney was better at catchy tunes and riffs.

then they had a gap while they were playing in Hamburg and Liverpool doing basically copies of unknown US tracks and rockers like Little Richard and Gene Vincent. They started writing again when Brian Epstein became manager and sold them to record producers as a unique group who wrote their own material.



If you haven’t seen it already I’d recommend the film ‘Nowhere Boy’. Excellent film about Lennon’s formative years.

Yes it is good. A lot of people disliked him, found him crude and unfunny. His favourite occupation was making fun of spastics and cripples. He would even do it on stage. There are glimpses evident even as late as A Hard Day’s Night. To an extent the film gives a bit of a reason for it, losing mother etc. But McCartney was also young when he lost his mother, perhaps even more painfully through cancer, and he came out of it more balanced than Lennon I felt.

Had to spin a coin on this one, between Cockney Rejects and CockSParrer.
Rejects took it after best of three.
