George Harrison
Over to you :-)
Always gonna be John. His songs and personal struggles always hit home with me.
The walrus.
Keith Richards
Ringo.
Haha, just kidding. John.
Based on post-Beatles solo career, definitely George Harrison. Mainly because of 'Got My Mind Set On You'. I really like that song.
In terms of time in the Beatles, I don't really have a preference. They all had a role to play. Apart from Ringo, who brought smurf all to the group.
Leave Ringo alone ya jerks.
Probably George, with John as a very close second.
At the time The Beatles split, George was actually writing the best stuff. He had songs like Something, Here Comes the Sun & While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Then when he left he released All Things Must Pass and there were some cracking songs on there.
John still wins overall though.
Ringo ! :jess:

I paid attention to anyone who gave me a serious answer and mentally edited out the rest.
Useful skill to practice. Obviously, the only sensible suggestion on here was "The Walrus". :pQuote:

"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is one of my all-time favorite songs, hence why George narrowly beats out John for me.Quote:

Gotta go with the walrus as well.
Ringo
I'm a George Harrison fan and pretty much always have been.
It would be interesting to see a poll on this thread. I honestly don't think it's up for debate that Lennon and McCartney were both genius songwriters. I think George Harrison was a great songwriter who was clearly influenced by the stuff the other two were writing.
I suppose this thread is about your favourite one though. George (or possibly Ringo) is the most likeable of the four.
The following reasons (thanks for asking :-) )Quote:

-He truly loved his friends Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, Ringo Starr etc...
-He saw the perils of the western world and spoke out against it
-He wanted peace
-He could play the sitar
-Carried Ukes around with him....just in case someone else wanted to play one :-)
-He was physically cute
-He had the depth of an ocean and more, I see it in those eyes
-He found his soulmate in Olivia
-He sent pun filled emails to his friends, mere days before he died
I'm not a huge Beatles fan - my Dad was though. I wouldn't say I have a personal favourite - when I was a kid it was Ringo and I used to tell off my Dad because he bought everyone else's solo work except for Ringo's. xD I would find a debate over the best member of Yes more interesting.
EDIT: Midgar Mist, here's one to add to your list:
-He bought Ringo a drum set when Ringo was threatening to leave during the White Album sessions.
So many George lovers, expected more of you to go for John (he is a close second for me too SammieBabe)
And yes, thanks for reminding me of more good things George did.
Here's another:
He helped finance Life of Brian for Monty Python, after they developed a cash flow problem.
RIP FIFTH BEATLE GEORGE MARTIN
Also, HARRISON FOREVER <3
