All valid points there Mr Snyder!

The Beatles reference made me smile because the other side of that sword is I wonder how many people are aware of the volume of songs Lennon and McCartney wrote that bands other than the Beatles recorded. There are a lot of them that people like you and me may know about but not the average listener because the composer's name is in tiny print under the song title. Peter and Gordon may not have even had a career without Lennon and McCartney, and that happened because of Peter Asher's sister and her involvement with McCartney.

Badfinger, Billy J Kramer, Gerry and the Pacemakers.... Likely be unknown names had they not recorded L&M songs. The list is staggering.
