'Imagine' if the Beatles were good guitar players...I would say that Paul and John complimented each other beautifully. If they had each gone straight on to solo careers never having met each other we might never have heard of them. No doubt they were both extremely talented but had a tendency to go to the extremes of their chosen genres, which for Paul was pop-rock, and for John was politically oriented rock. Combined though I think their collaborative works show a good mix of the two. Of course their earliest work showed signs of heavy commercilization.
