Who is your favorite Beatle?

I think they are all great, which do you like best?

Blue Beetle.

Ringo's singing voice is strangely soothing.THE_DRUGGIE

Yeah it is....could this be a new conspiracy?...rofl

Wasnt there like a 5th Beatle rumor?-Fromage-

Yeah I heard something about that...there was a lot of rumors like the one about Paul being dead...

Ringo Starr on Drums.

Mr. Mccarntney if thats how his last name is spelled.

They are all equally likeable, but Ringo has the coolest name! :P

This is a brilliant thread by the way.

as a group they had a pleasant if musically unchallanging sound. many other groups are a lot more talented. Pete Best the original drummer(I have the first album with him) was quite talented whereas Ringo was merely adequate and coud barely bang out a rhythm which for the time is all that was required in a rock band.

Ringo was friends with the other three and group dynamics were more important to them then talent and history shows they made a good decision, with Pete (the fifth Beatle) they possibly would have sounded crisper have been less successfull - moot point nobody will ever know and hardly anyone cares:wink:

As far as individuals I don't care much one way or the other for any individuals.

While I liked John Lennon's music I was not a particular fan of him personally before his murder and saw no reason to glorify his lifestyle because he was shot.

I also see nothing really admirable about most rock stars outside of their music.

the majority seem to enjoy lives of excess and while the Beatles were not that bad in comparison this is probably because they started in the early '60s

Paul sucks. I don't wish to be mean, but sometimes I think to myself, "Why couldn't you have been the one to meet Mark David Chapman outside your apartment?"

Wings my ass.

but as a musician I realize they were not exceptionally talented in comparison to other musicians which is not out of the ordinary for rock groups.iowastate

Just because they didn't play 10 minute speed metal solos and roar like lions doesn't mean they weren't good musicians. Of course they weren't virtuoso players, but they were amazing songwriters, and that matters much more than technical ability in a band.

paul

John Lennon.

I voted Ringo, because he is the luckiest man who ever lived.

Ringo for President.

George Harrison by far.

Great respect for John Lennon as a musician but as a person he always seemed like an arrogant punk.

Look at this interview of Julian Lennon talking about his dad (John):

That's pretty sad...

George - the only one who had instrument skills that exceeded those of a high school garage band.
