All right, how about best Beatle?

[Kyle Smith]

John ftw!

[duncan228]

John without a doubt.
The four were magic together but Lennon was the soul.

[peewee's lovechild]

John Lennon was the soul of that group.

His lyrics were unparalleled, and they continue to be so.

[Kyle Smith]

Completely agree.

[Xolotl]

For me it's Paul because he wrote 3 of my favorite songs, Eleanor Rigby, Yesterday, and Maybe I'm Amazed (even though that was post Beatles). Hell I gotta also add in Let It Be and Live and Let Die. But, John deserves credit too he was a genius.

[CuckingFunt]

John, George, Paul, and Ringo. In that order.

[exstatic]

John, and to some extent George, were the only Beatles to have critical success after the breakup, although they all sold a shitload of records.

John was a thinker and a writer, and Paul was really a Pop singer.

[Twisted_Dawg]

In a Playboy interview about a month before John was murdered, he and the interviewer went over many Beatle songs and it shocked me how many songs John gave credit to Paul for writing many of them.

John Lennon was perhaps the greatest lyricist to ever live; but Paul McCartney wrote some amazingly poignant lyrics as well -- I'm not sure it's completely fair to label him just a pop singer. To be sure, George Harrison had his own greatness as a writer as well. I tend to think that Lennon's presence made the Beatles, but also tends to diminish McCartney and Harrison in historical terms.

Of course, the aggregation of those three guys in a single band explains why nobody will ever again be like the Beatles.

[CuckingFunt]

I never thought that Paul was the brains of the operation, but became especially annoyed with him when he wanted to switch the writing credits on a bunch of songs to put his name first. If it were a true partnership amongst friends, it shouldn't matter.

[Duff McCartney]

I agree with that...Paul is an amazing talent...but for whatever reason it seems more and more he wants to put himself and give himself more credit for The Beatles than anyone else gave him.

It seems even more hard for people to speak out considering John and George are dead and they can't rebuke him.

I agree one hundred percent, and this is definitely a textbook example of "the whole is greater than the sum of the parts".

There is a reason that you add salt to chocolate chip cookies: it pulls against the sugar. John was the salt, and Paul the sugar in a complex band and relationship.

[Kori Ellis]

All I know is that you guys are lucky I'm in a good mood. :lol

You obviously know nothing about music.

I am disappointed in you.

[Kori Ellis]

Your patience never ceases to amaze me.

Two Beatles threads, plus all the bs arguing going on in both basketball forums. And the season is only a week old. :lol

You've got the patience of a Saint.

[peewee's lovechild]

I hate Elvis too. :dramaquee

God's gonna kill you.

You speak blasphemy.

I don't even know you anymore.

[Xolotl]

I hate Elvis too. :dramaquee

are you one of those people that hates everything that other people like and like to hate the stuff so people argue with you about it lol

[Kori Ellis]

are you one of those people that hates everything that other people like and like to hate the stuff so people argue with you about it lol

:lol No, I don't think I've ever argued about Elvis or the Beatles in my life. I just don't like the music.

[peewee's lovechild]

I hope timvp doesn't share the same sentiment.

I fear for the future of your children.

[mrsmaalox]

I vote John; but I actually liked him most post-Beatles than during.

I agree with Paul being more poppy

Lol if you were in one of the greatest bands ever, you'd have an ego too

[Kyle Smith]

lol thank you for your patience, Kori, but I'm having a hard time believing anyone can truly dislike the Beatles for a reason that isn't simply to be a rebel.

Elvis I understand, but the Beatles wrote such a variety of different music that it's like impossible not to at least appreciate some of it. They revolutionized so much it's (in peewee's words) blasphemy not to like at least some of their stuff.

[Kyle Smith]

lol who voted for ringo? :P

[MaNuMaNiAc]

lol who voted for ringo? :Pyou can check

[Jimcs50]

Kori also hates Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.

[MannyIsGod]

I think awhile back I would have been on the Lennon bandwagon but the more I listen to Harrison the more I think he's the best.

[peewee's lovechild]

Kori also hates Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.

She killed the Tooth Fairy, too.

I saw her do it.

She scared me.

I disagree...Ringo recieved rave reviews for Caveman.
