an underrated singer

Come Together is one of the coolest bass lines of all time. Simple, yes, but so boss.

Well-deserved. He makes it onto some of those lists.

To be honest, I have noticed him starting to pop up more on those things. In a few years, he might be recognised for his bass playing - deservedly.

He is highly rated on a lot of such lists. Great player, but he seems to get what attention he deserves! I wouldn't call him underrated.

Wow. Nice list. Paul's bass playing is well deserved -- https://youtu.be/u97_inloBmY

No. 11 on Rolling Stone's list of top 100 all-time singers:

John Lennon was No. 5.....

I'm on about a lot of people putting down Paul's bass playing the same way that a lot of people put down Ringo's drumming. Maybe you haven't seen it, but I have.

This isn't even close to being true.

At the beginning, Lennon did handle more of the singing, but when you heard Paul doing his thing, I don't think anyone thought he wasn't as good, if not better. Later albums, they went toe-to-toe with great songs, slugging it out.
Paul could shout like Little Richard and croon like a pop idol. He sang Gospel, he'd put on his Bad Boy pants and spit out Helter Skelter.
The way I see it, The Beatles was Lennon's project and he started out as the leader, but it didn't take long for Macca's talents to quickly make him the co-leader. And of course, early on they decided to be co-writers on all their material, so Macca must have had a bit of influence on the relationship.

I find it hard to think anyone thinks Sir Paul is Underrated in anything, except current taste, which isn't much of a barometer of ratings or taste.
