Compare Paul McCartney with Frank Sinatra. Sinatra worked for a long
time and lived through at least two total revolutions in audio production
and technique. But listen to his early recordings and the stuff he did
late in life... and in spite of sixty-year difference in technology, they
sound a lot more like one another than McCartney in 1972 did from
McCartney in 1976.

Sinatra perfected performance in an established style. McCartney was
a figurehead for a lot of musical innovations (OK- synthesis of
existing styles if you like, but that's how innovation works:-) by a
lot of people. If he had a personal style I guess it was as a
guitar-strumming crooner - not a particularly ground-breaking concept,
though he did it well.
