I think John was the most concerned with being an artist out of all of them, and he also had pretty solid politics. Paul is a talented musician, but his talents always lay more toward the commercial end of music. I don't understand what was it with George and the Hindu mysticism, but I could forgive that if he had much to distinguish himself as a guitarist or a solid musician otherwise, but he really does not. And Ringo... well, I don't really think he had that much to do with the band's success, as most drummers don't.

In the 60s/70s she had some good stuff.
Definitely John Lennon. I'm a proud Lennonist. :laugh:
John Lennon is by far the best.

Maybe Lennon (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/carousel/pob12.html)- though it seems like he turned into a bit of a cock by the end. I like music by all of them.

She cant sing.

In the conventional sense neither can Johnny Rotten, but I dig him too.
I like him to. But Yoko's voice sounds like fingernails running down a chalk board to me.

It's more then her singing.
Listen to the music.
It's sorta Devo-esque music that her avant-noise vocals are perfect for.

I went for Lennon & McCartney because their relationship really was the core of the Beatles and neither were as good without the other - although undoubtedly Paul suffered most from their separation. His post-Beatles output really does stink.
EDIT:
Pirate Utopian thanks for the Plastic Ono band clip - it rocks. Reminds me of some of the more adventurous post-punk stuff like The Slits and The Pop Group and ATV/The Good Missionaries.

I voted for Lennon. I do have a lot of respect for Harrison though and I like his music a lot. I think his talent is often overlooked

Yeah Yoko's influence on post-punk often goes unnoticed.
A good example of her influence would be PiL's Death Disco.

I don't like The Beatles, but I'll go with Ringo Starr because:
a) His name amuses me.
b) Nobody ever talks about him.
c) This song:

It has to be John. It can't not be John. If I were at Live 8, I would have tried to get the audience to chant 'We Want John!'

Ringo, because he narrated Thomas the Tank Engine.

I voted for George because he wrote "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", and because of his album "All Things Must Pass".

I voted for Harrison. He was kind of the underdog, in that he was only allowed
two tracks per album. When the Beatles broke up in 1970, he releases a monster
three record-set (All Things Must Pass) on which there were several top hits.

John Lennon was massively over rated, pretty much all bar a few of the best Beatles songs were written by Paul.

I love Harrison for this exact reason. His songs shine through on every Beatles Album

also worth noting, since his sell out to Norwich Union, Ringo has become a bit of a knob. Apparently on his webpage he said that he wont be opening any more fan mail and that it will all go in the bin.
Good fan loyalty there Ringo!
