i prefer cale but i'm by no means an expert in either. for instance i've never heard Metal Machine Music (i will get myself a copy one day). i really love cale's work with Nico. Used to like Lou better but... dunno... cale just seems to have that bit more substance to me. but, like i said, i'm no expert.

as for lennon/macca? there i am if not an expert then very, very aware of pretty much everything both have done (both beatles and solo) and after years of struggle i finally decided that i can't choose between them. in my earlier days i was a total lennon snob but anyone who can write a song as great as Here, There and Everywhere can only be hailed as a genius. Macca has earned the right to do whatever the fuck he wants (Pipes of Peace excepted!). They are both genius.
