The Beatles: Your Favourite One

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.

Out of interest, why is George Harrison your favourite? He's my favourite too, like I said above, so I'm interested to find out what your reasons for liking him the best are.

The following reasons (thanks for asking )

-Great songs like 'Here Comes the Sun' and of course 'Ive Got my Mind set on you' is a classic
-His love of eastern culture over western culture (dunno how he reconciled all the money, but still....)
-His introverted character (had is own private space he liked to escape to)
-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.
