Peak value: Bowie by sizable marginCareer value: McCartney by a hairvoting Bowie
just want to say that giving mccartney's career the edge on account of his hair is a terrible mistake

Between those two songs, "Suffragette City." Career value, McCartney by a wide margin if the Beatles count, Bowie if they don't. Peak, McCartney by a bit if the Beatles count, Bowie if they don't.
"Martha My Dear" one of his greatest for me.

figure paul's beatles work has to count in his favor, cuz, well, he was in the beatles. wrote songs for em and everything. given that, he takes this on both peaks & career. bowie's hair is hella cool tho.

The other point:
McCartney can sing, Bowie can't.

Funny I always thought Bowie over-sang on everything. Loves some vibrato.

Love Bowie, his terrible singing has nothing to do with it.

would any of bowie's major records be improved by better singing?

these days I entertain the idea of Ian Hunter singing the Ziggy tunes.
Dylan often wrote terrible lyrics, sometimes in the same song. Don't see the big deal pointing out Bowie's schtick.
