You respond to this with some lame paragraph about a Beatles song he produced using a Lennon demo performance from the 70's he never wrote, recorded or performed that won a Grammy for it's connection to other Fab Four songs. So this is how you argue a point, by never addressing the issue you created??

Let it go buddy, the band is barely north of sucking was outsold at a minimum by such musical giants as Ricky Martin (60 mil), The Village People (65 mil) and New Kids on the Block (70 mil) and just doesn't belong in the conversation of great bands. You like them and worship Lynne......some people get off on auditory route canal like this but please stop with the unreferenced garbage like Lynne was a central performer on stage with the Beatles at the 76' Prince's Trust concerts. No he wasn't......it's one thing to massage your upright base on stage and another to match Clapton's solo on Harrison's WMGGW's.......

This wikipedia page says they did sell over 50 million records:

My point about Lynne producing the Beatles was that they could have gotten anyone they wanted. They could have had anybody in the world and they chose Lynne. His reputation is second to none and that is why they chose him. He is considered to be a musical genius, which he is.
