The Prince's Trust concert was highlighted by a memorable rendition of Harrison and Clapton doing the Beatles white album classic "While My Guitar Gently Weeps..." Ringo and Elton added a little superstar color, Jeff Lynne might have organized the janitors that night but your going to have look a little further for Lynne's superstar involvement at this show.

As I said, John Lennon was a big fan of Jeff Lynne. Geroge Harrison was such a big fan that he hired Lynne to produce some of his albums. A person has to have a great ear to be a good record producer.
I don't think this subject is even debatable. It is obviously somewhat subjective, but it's not totally subjective. For example, it's not debatable whether Paul McCartney is gifted. That's not subjective. If a person doesn't think Paul McCartney is great, that person doesn't know what they're talking about.
Who is better between John Lennon and Paul McCartney? Now that would be a subjective question. They are both great. They are two of the greatest singer/songwriters of all times. That's not debatable. Who is better between the two is a subjective question. But there is no doubt that they are both great.
I would say the same thing for all the artists and groups that have sold tens of millions of albums. I don't think there's a single one that's not great. The Eagles were great. Fleetwood Mac is great. Billy Joel is great. Elton John is great, etc.
There is a reason why these people all sold tens of millions of records. These people all have a talent that is extremely rare. There aren't a lot of Elton Johns out there. Each one of these people is one in a million. There are very few of them. These people have an amazing ear for music and they can write great melodies.
Jeff Lynne has sold tens of millions of albums and he is highly respected in the business by his peers. What is your musical background so that you not only think you have a better ear than the general public but a better ear than all the stars that have asked Jeff Lynne to produce their albums? Why would you think you have a better ear than everyone else? Do you have perfect pitch or something?
