Paul McCartney.

There seems to be a lot of prejudice towards him, for instance with cliched stereotypes of him being the writer of superficial "grandmother pop", not being artsy enough and so on. For sure, he has written songs like "When I'm Sixty Four", "Obla Di Obla Da" and "Maxwell's Silver Hammer", but also a lot of work that does not live up to that. After all he was the one most interested in avant-garde during their Revolver-Sgt. Pepper period, and the inventive soundscape f.e. of "Tomorrow Never Knows" was very much his merit.

The most misunderstood artist? Michael Stipe of REM. Until he started singing in intelligible English, the first few REM albums were indecipherable, with Stipe mumbling something like: "Rezzer reezer rozzer roozer."

It is written by John, but Paul had a big influence on its sound, f.e. he came up with Ringo's drum pattern. The tape loops were also his idea (inspired by Stockhausen's Gesang der Jünglinge).

it was the first song worked on, on the first day of the Revolver sessions. John had the idea for a song that sounded like he was the Dalai Lama chanting from a mountaintop. Paul came in later with a bunch of weird tape noises he’d made at home. John is commonly credited for the song (despite the ever-present Lennon/McCartney byline), but it was a team effort - even (especially) on the part of George Martin and Geoff Emerick on the production side.
