He was a member of the greatest band ever and was an excellent songwriter.

Once McCartney and Lennon went their separate ways they both suffered as songwriters: they each lost their quality control man, as nobody they worked with afterwards would have the balls to say "why don't you change that bit?" to a legendary ex-Beatle.
That's my theory anyway. The Lennon/McCartney team are the best songwriters ever, but as an individual I rate Ray Davies higher.

I bought the new Beatles album yesterday, 'Love'. It's still way better than almost everything that has come since.

I'd have to dis-agree with you there...
John Lennon was still developing as a song writer right up till the day he died.
After the Beatles he wrote songs like,
And that's just to name a few...
John Lennon was perhaps the greatest song writer of all time!
(During, and after the Beatles)
Well, in my book anyway...

Hmm, I actually think McCartney was a better songwriter than Lennon, but of course his legend is tainted by the fact that he's still alive.

Sorry, but we'll have agree to dis-agree then...
In my opinion,
Norwegian Wood
and the like,
Shit all over songs like,
Ob-la-di ob-la-da
or even
Michelle
Granted Paul did
Yesterday ,
But pretty much all the great Beatles tracks were written by John.
BTW, I like Paul also, I just happen to think John was the most important member of that famous songwriting duo...

Quoting those particular examples I would agree with you
Ob-la-di ob-la-da is shite, to mention that one and ignore the magnificent "Hey Jude" off Paul's list is a bit unfair
Having said that, John was one of the greatest songwriters ever, don't get me wrong. I loved Across the Universe, In My Life and I'm Only Sleeping in particular.
And I forgot...
