Who is your favorite Beatle?

(1/6) > >>

Brown Eyes:
Heya,

This question is an offshoot of the poll asking folks whether the like the Beatles or the Stones.  It has been suggested by our friend ineedcrayons that it might be interesting to find out which band members of each group BetterMostians favor.

Once you vote for your favorite, I thought it might also be fun to hear which member you like the least too.

Have fun!

This is a tough one for me.  I voted for Lennon as my favorite with Harrison as a close second.  I like both of them because they each seem very intelligent and I like Lennon's sense of humor.   My least favorite is McCartney.  I find him annoying.

I was in the 3rd or 4th grade when the Beatles made it to America. What a riot they caused! We were crazy about them. Anyway, I remember that our teachers were directing us in a traditional Christmas play, and they wrote an extra segment to put in the play---and that new segment was all about the Beatles. haha Some of the boys had Beatle wigs and they played pretend guitar. It was funny.

I always liked Ringo the best. I really didn't dislike any of them, or have a least favorite. All the girls loved Paul and I did not want to be like them. Plus---drummers are just cool to me.  8)

Obviously John and Paul were the most prolific, and they get a lot of points for that. They were just depthlessly creative.

But I'll have to say that overall I tend to love George's songs the most. Though more scarce, they're just more interesting, especially melodically, to me. In high school, I used to think that "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" was my favorite Beatles' song, and I'm not sure I've changed my mind.

After the Beatles broke up, I thought George's music was far superior to anybody else's. It was like John and Paul needed each other to balance each others' excesses -- on their own, one was too acerbic and cynical and the other too vapid and poppy (I'll leave it to you to guess which was which!   ;D ;)).

At the moment, this is kind of fascinating that we have a 4 way tie!

I'll tell you what pisses me off - Paul McCartney selling his soul to Starbuck's AND Tully's AND iTUnes, all at the same time.  Isn't he rich enough yet?  And that little moue he is still doing after all these decades.  Feh.

Agree about the non-balance of John and Paul without each other.  Agree about Geroge's non-Beatles songs being the best.  "All Things Must Pass," for example.

The more I learn about "the fifth Beatle," George Martin, the more fascinating he seems.  Here's an odd parody of him:

Oh, but I voted for John as favorite Beatle.
