John, Paul, George or Ringo?

[bobthedrummer]

Which Beatle is your favorite?

[redsoxliberal]

1. john... but I love the rest as well.

[stevedeshazer]

2. Flame bait

Seriously, the last time I responded to a 'favorite Beatle' thread, I got flamed.

But the Beatles were John's band.

Paul McCartney's band is Wings.

3. So Ringo will be the next Pope...

Get it,
John Paul
George...

4. John Lennon n/t

5. I went for Paul

Ringo close second.

7. Dude! You're still here!

Nice to see you :hi:

I thought maybe you'd be basking in the afterglow somewhere like GD or GD politics or even *gasp* LBN :P

[newfaceinhell]

11. yep, I've dug myself in now, like a nasty little tick in DU's backside

Nice to see you too!:hi:

I did spend a couple of days wallowing in my glory in GD whilst folk in here were getting whatever they had to out of their systems. But it only took a couple of my threads sinking like stones over there to remind me that I am, after all, but a man.:P

15. I think it was just some growing pains - it happens every once

in a while. Things will back to normal (that being a relative term of course) in a few days. :hi:

6. John, but they're all great.

[Left Is Write]

8. George was always my favorite.

[maveric]

9. Mine too. The most versatile Beatle.

I liked his songs better than the Lennon/McCartney ones.

10. Ringo

Had to give a vote to my boy, Ringo.

He was my original favorite Beatle when I first got into them as a child; Paul and George have also been favorites at different times.

I love much of John's music with and without the Beatles and admire his political views, but he has never been my favorite Beatle, largely based on my perception of his personality. I know many feel similarly about Paul; it's interesting how different people's personal perceptions can be.

18. John would be the first to admit he could be a real asshole.

:evilgrin:

[MissHoneychurch]

12. John Lennon

he was the best singer of the band in my opinion.

[Swamp Rat]

John is Jesus

Ringo a stoned caveman

George a guru guitarman

and Paul is a putz.

[stellanoir]

13. I voted for Ringo

because I overheard a conversation between my son and his then girlfriend when they were both 3 years old (a decade ago). They were discussing the Beatles and they both decided that Ringo was. . .get this. . . the best vocalist. Cracked me up.

14. John....

:kick:

16. Paul was the best composer by far.

He became a cheeseball afterwards, and he wasn't as outspoken or eloquent as John -- and is still alive (-10 points for any rockstar). But Paul's sense of melody is probably the best of any 20th century composer.

[deutsey]

17. Lennon, but each one made the Beatles the band it was.

I like their solo careers, but the way each balanced the other when the band was at its best could never be achieved by any of them individually, in my opinion.
