Yes, We Have Second Bananas

I have rather generously broken down a personal study of The Beatles' secondary songwriter GEORGE HARRISON - vs. The Kinks' secondary songwriter - DAVE DAVIES and voilá Dave slightly beats out George by average. Of course this is obviously very much based on how much tougher it was for Dave to get a song through than it was for George; John & Paul had a much more diplomatic lets-make-everybody-happy way about their albums (see there being so many Ringo songs on Beatles albums vs. exactly zero Mick Avory songs on Kinks albums, par exampla) while Ray Davies ran The Kinks with an iron fist, so there ya go for Dave's higher batting average.

Either way, there's incredible songs on both lists and yes of course I rather curiously thoughtfully put together a playlist for each YOU'RE WELCOME!
