Favourite Beatle

who was your favourite beatle

 

[rick James]

Well, it WAS John by a mile - but now that I find out Paul stabbed his wife with a broken glass and forced to crawl to the toilet with no wheelchair or prosthetic leg, well, I'm not so sure - cause I can respect the need to do that.

de lusional.

 

[GoSydneySwans]

Lennon and Harrison were both great, but McCartney's basslines and songwriting are unbeatable IMO.

Ringo - did his job, but his son is a better drummer than him.

 

[Leaping Lindner]

Stu Sutcliffe or Jimmy Nicol. Can't split them.

 

[MagpieScouser]

ill change my mind and say pete best

 

[Brewster_]

John.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Ringo - did his job, but his son is a better drummer than him.

Still get a laugh about that old John Lennon line:

Interviewer-Is Ringo Starr the best drummer in the world?
John-He's not even the best drummer in The Beatles.

George Harrison. The most interesting Beatle. They were all talented individuals and there could not have been the Beatles without any one of the members.

George had that great sense of humour, respect and tolerance of other cultures, open mindedness about him. He was honest and very modest, never overawed about the trappings of fame.

 

[Santos L Helper]

Yoko.

You are kidding I hope.Was probably the most likeable since he wasn't an arrogant prick who was as mean as sh*t like McCartney, and didn't have the hissy fits and tantrums like Lennon, but McCartney was by far the most talented musically.To this day is still one of the more profound rock bass players and is almost in his own league as a songwriter.Is also an accomplished pianist, great singer and can handle a guitar.I sincerely doubt he'd ever win a popularity contest, but was streets ahead of the others musically.

 

[volcboy]

George by a whisker over John

He got 2 songs per album and made the most of it

Something
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Taxman
If I Needed Someone

George Harrison.

 

[Klyntonius]

Ringo Starr - made Thomas the Tank Engine the great show it was!

 

[rick James]

What ws that famous Lennon (or was it harrisson?) quote about Ringo?

They were asked if they thought Ringo was the best drummer in the world, the response "He's not even the best drummer in The Beatles"

 

[crownie]

my favorite personally would be Harrison, didn't crave for the spotlight and should of had more of his tunes on Beatles records.
i have always thought McCartney to be a knob, but he does write good pop songs.
Lennon overall was probaly the best artist, but with him you get yoko, which turned me off him a bit.
Ringo was just an average musician, but has written some good stuff as well.

 

[AngelEyes]

George

 

[lioness]

Paul McCartney.
