He became one. None of them were very good in 1962. It's debatable how good they would have been without George Martin guiding them.

In 1962 Paul was 20 years old and had not yet released an album.
Are we knocking off points for not being a child prodigy?

It is pretty remarkable that I, someone born decades after those songs were released, can immediately bring each one to mind as I read that list

You have never heard “yesterday”, even by mistake? I can’t imagine it was never in a commercial, movie, on the radio…
Can't Buy Me Love, Hard Day's Night, Help!, Day Tripper, We Can Work It Out, Paperback Writer, Yesterday, Nowhere Man are mid-career Beatles, 1964-66. Most charting bands don't produce memorable pop songs like this over and over.
And then they made the more ambitious albums.
McCartney proved again later that he is an outstanding pop musician. Maybe I'm Amazed, Live and Let Die, etc.
