I've been a fan from the beginning, but my 'favorite' has changed a few times over the years. I really liked George's guitar playing until he discovered the bottleneck. Once he did, he never put it down. Everything was slide. I guess today it's Lennon, again.

I've heard people say McCartney was the best guitarist of the three!! I forgot how he ended up being the bassist.

What I loved the most about the Beatles was they opened the floodgates for rock & roll going several different directions. I was always more homed in on the Stones though.The guitars of Jones, Richards, Taylor, and Wood was always rolled out just right. They always cut the crap and played straight forward rock and roll the way it was meant to be ... no frills with hard driving rythms.

I'm not trying to be mean, and I'm sorry for this but I don't like john. I've read and heard to many interviews and I concluded that John was too much of a smart $@! for me.

But he still ranks higher than Ringo.....sorry ringo Imagine is so much better than It Don't Come Easy.

1. Paul
2. George
3. John
4. Ringo

I think currently it's George. I like alot of his post-Beatles music, too.

I like some of Johns solo stuff but he tended to get too wrapped up in politics.

I of course loved Wings, so I love McCartneys post-Beatle tunes but he tends to drift off into show tunes, so that kinda turns me off.

I don't really think any less of Ringo, cause he drifted off in a different direction than the other three (acting). "It Don't Come Easy" was okay...so was "Photograph".

But together they were simply unbeatable.

Both "It Don't Come Easy" and "Photograph" were actually written by George.

At least Ringo has Barbara Bach. None of the other three married a "Bond girl". Maybe I should have played drums!

George is definitely my favorite. I enjoy his Beatles songs more than any other songs and his solo material is just great. I also really like Ringo, saw him in concert a couple of years ago and it was just a whole lot of fun.

Lennon-McCartney

They wrote them together, eyeball-to-eyeball, a lot of the time. Those are some of the best songs written. Oxygen is oxygen and hydrogen is hydrogen but together they are life-giving water. Lennon-McCartney were that kind of combination. Solo, neither could match what they did together. Whenever you hear they wrote this on or that one all alone, keep in mind that's not really true.

Solo - McCartney has a lot of musical ideas that don't say anything and just run around in circles. He needs Lennon to tell him where the song's going, what it's about, from "I love you I love you I love you" to "can't get no worse" to realizing how catchy were Ringo's "8 Days a Week" or Harrison's "look at all the lonely people." Lennon has a lot of big ideas, even riffs, and brilliant statements but he needs McCartney to work them out into fleshed-out tunes. Ego and competition ended that legendary collaboration, but first many great things were done.

I like that in that order (not necessarily all tied for first)
