Favorite Beatle?

[mickill]

George

[Mr Films]

John was the soul
Paul was the brain
George was the heart

and Ringo

.....was the drummer.

[SobaViolence]

such a rookie question.

here's a question that will truly define you as a person:

who's your favourite Rolling Stone?

that's one lame way to "define yourself as a person"

[Marjo]

I think Lennon wrote such beautifull songs...

That is a harder question, actually. I would have to say..

1. Keith.
2. Jones
3. Charlie
4. Jagger
5. Taylor
6. Stu
7. Bill
8. Woods (n)

4. Jagger
5. Taylor

that's solid. Watts is a pretty average drummer though, so he drops to 4th....cool to see someone recognising Ian Stewart, one of the most underrated musicians ever.

[Calimero jr.]

John & George. As a kid I loved Paul, but now I find that most of his song are too much sugar and honey, I way prefer John and George's ones.

Charlie's got near perfect timing, though.

And yah, fuck Andrew Loog Oldham for kicking Stu out of the group for being a little chubby.

[RockabillyGrrl]

John for his songs.
Ringo for his personality.
Paul for his voice.
George for his guitar playing.

Overall, Ringo was/is my favorite.

[Matt]

George Martin.

Pete Best.

Stuart Sutcliffe.

[orangejumpsuit]

I love John and George [RIP]

[mickill]

1. Joey Fatone
2. Chris Kirkpatrick
3. JC Chasez
4. Justin Timberlake
5. Lance Bass

Why the hell is Lance #5?

Dude's aspirations went so much further than just this gay little pop outfit; He trained to be an interstellar warrior. He's built like a machine now, and can apparently kill people with just the use of his two pinkies. And he has acting chops that can rival a young Marlon Brando.

You gotta be kidding me, man.

[Audielicious]

1. Joey Fatone
2. Chris Kirkpatrick
3. JC Chasez
4. Justin Timberlake
5. Lance Bass
Is Joey number one for the simple fact that he's an actor? :confused: Because JC should be up there. Just sayin'. :p

Charlie's got near perfect timing, though.

john lennon.

i like his voice/songs more than paul's, and i like his post beatles work (unlike paul's)

i'm not really a fan of the songs george has written.

ringo gets props for doing the voices on thomas the tank engine.

George has written some great songs. Nevermind the fact that he wrote Here Comes The Sun, Something, While My guitar Gently Weeps, Blue Jay Way and Tax Man, but he was responsible for bringing the Eastern music influences to the group and, in turn, to the rock n roll community as a whole.

He's one of the least regarded major influences in Rock period. He introduced the rest of the group to the Eastern Mysticism, Indian instruments and the mind-expanding practices which would eventually lead to the groups most creative and paramount work. He brought in outside musicians like Eric Clapton and Billy Preston to rejuvenate the group as it was beginning to implode. The only thing that held him back from possibly rivalling John and Paul was John and Paul holding him back.

[orangejumpsuit]

I love "Something" and I like his song "My Sweet Lord" [even though I'm not religious]

And yeah, I like John's voice and post work better too.

hey, that's cool, both my parents are major george fans, i am aware that he is highly regarded.

i, personally, really don't like while my guitar gently weeps and piggies, i can recognise good song writing, but its not to my taste, as much as some of the other stuff.

if that makes me inferior as a music listener so be it. :)

what's your favourite beatles song btw?

[Old Noogan]

yer blues

Nah, I never said you your taste was inferior. Now, if you said that the most talented Beatle was Ringo and that your favorite song was Maxwell's Silver Hammer, that'd be a different story.

It's way too hard for me to pick one fav. My top 10(ish) list would probably be:

A Day In The Life
Strawberry Fields Forever
In My Life
And Your Bird Can Sing
Helter Skelter
Something
Ticket To Ride
Tommorow Never Knows
Happiness Is A Warm Gun
Here Comes The Sun
And the whole side two medley of Abbey Road...

Totally underrated songs, in my opinion, would be Long, Long, Long, Dear Prudence, I'm So Tired, Rain, I Saw Her Standing There, Every Little Thing, Love You Too and so many more. Lots of my favs weren't even singles.

You?

[hitmonlee]

happiness is a warm gun
i will
sexy sadie
elanor rigby
hello goodbye

edit: i love i'm so tired, that and "i don't like monday's" by the boontown rats are my monday anthems.

[mickill]

sexy sadie


That's one of my favs too. Hello Goodbye is a real good song too. It's easier to think of songs that I don't like.

I'm guessing you're a White Album fan...

[hitmonlee]

hello goodbye is soo poingant

choosing a favourite beatles song is impossible, i never expected you to answer the question :)

[mickill]

choosing a favourite beatles song is impossible, i never expected you to answer the question :)


My fav songs tend to change all the time, but as far as albums go, I think Revolver is the most solid/consistent. But, Abbey Road is my personal favorite. The White album has a few too many weak moments like Honey Pie, Piggies and Martha My Dear.

You forgot Pete Best :rolleyes:

Why do you dislike George so much? And I don't think that Stu made any real significant contribution to the group. He couldn't barely play his instrument.

And YOKO?

[abcdefz]

Mutherfukker owed me money.

[abcdefz]

Maybe you could take a cue from the fact that at least two of the folks on that list are fictional, plus Yoko. That's like, 2.5 fictional people on my list.

[mickill]

Fictional? I think not. (http://www.geocities.com/the_las/lausanme.html)

And I never do know with you, man. Seriously. :rolleyes:

[abcdefz]

Klatuu was my favorite Beatle. (y)

[abcdefz]

Actually, I might even argue that Jeff Lynne is my favorite Beatle.

[mickill]

Actually, I might even argue that Jeff Lynne is my favorite Beatle.

I think he did a great job with Real Love and Free As A Bird. No joke.

[Matt]

I think he did a great job with Real Love and Free As A Bird. No joke.

I, however, think those songs are a travesty on the Beatles past music and were solely for making money

[beastiebeatles]

george was the man for bringing the whole indian music thing to the beatles. with in you with out you is a great song, as well are all the other songs he wrote.

[adrockmelanie]

ringo. yeah.

[Ferdinand_2]

George because he compose "Taxman" & "Think for yourself"

[CrankItUp!]

Too hard to choose just one with such a great band.

George. It's 26 years for John, today.

Edit: Isn't it?

[icy manipulator]

really not a fan of the beatles at all. never liked them, prolly never will

[Otis Driftwood]

Yup, I'd go back in time to kill them as babies... :cool:

[hitmonlee]

George. It's 26 years for John, today.

Edit: Isn't it?

yep :(

[abcdefz]

...I love Yoko's latest press release.

To mark the anniversary of John's death, she wants the world to declare peace or whatever, so we can all live in harmony and one accord. When asked if she's forgiven Mark David Chapman, she says hell no.

[Jitters]

John for his songs.
Ringo for his personality.
Paul for his voice.
George for his guitar playing.

Overall, Ringo was/is my favorite.

Exact same here, Ringo stole the show in A Hard Days Night.

[cosmo105]

I think he did a great job with Real Love and Free As A Bird. No joke.
i love those songs too.

i couldn't choose. but i guess if i had to it'd be george, paul, john, ringo. i never liked the fact that john knocked his missus about. plus his whiney voice pisses me off.

[mickill]

Hey, what's your favorite Lennon song?

I think that John had one of the best rock singer voices ever. If anything, Paul had the annoying voice.

[ericlee]

What, nobody didn't mention Ringo for the movie Caveman?

You're all pathetic. That fucking movie is one of my favorites and needless to say, it's a classic. It's so b-rated but yet, I watch it over and over and still laugh my balls off.

Ok, musical wise, I'd have to say Paul though. Ringo was a b-rated actor as well as for drums. He was "mary had a little lamb" runner up on the drums.

Paul though has probably brought so many musicians to do their thing on the bass as he has.

He's probably one of the only bassists that uses a pick that I can stand.

The bass in originality, is supposed to be plucked via finger.

[venusvenus123]

I think that John had one of the best rock singer voices ever. If anything, Paul had the annoying voice.
i guess that's personal opinion. i don't like john's voice. i'm neutral about paul's tho.

[Waus]

My taste in Beatles is much like my taste in U2. Not so much related to the music, but more related to my like or dislike of their personality.

Bono is a douche.

Lennon was an arrogant jerk.

McCartney puts on an unbelievable sugar-sweet facade that makes him less likeable.

Harrison was the only Beatle who seemed like a sincerely good guy to me. Not to mention his influence on the group and rock and roll as whole.

[saz]

yeah, paul was a sentimental dork, and john was volatile, could be hypocritical, and had some sort of a mental problem...but all in all the beatles were good guys. i kind of empathize a little more with paul than john, because john could be a total jerk at times, however my favourite is george. paul and john were both great singers. a stand-out paul track for me is back in the ussr.

[AndyP]

Lennon, he was passionate, excellent musician and wrote some of the best songs produced in the 20th century.

[zorra_chiflada]

lennon was the cool one. the rest were all squares.

[Lex Diamonds]

They were all pretty gangsta but George was the Don Dada. (y)

[abcdefz]

I think John didn't have much of a voice -- he strains too much -- but he could sing really well.

Paul's got a fine voice, even when he does his Little Richard imitation. Much, much stronger voice than John's, but he didn't have as much range of expression.

[fucktopgirl]

John without a question!

[TurdBerglar]

i never really liked the beatles at all except for a handful of songs

[HEIRESS]

John lennon was fucking hilarious, flat out best personality

though paul has his moments where he makes me giggle like on "you know my name" so he is up there too

I do love george for the good he did post the beatles etc etc though

If you've never seen his "concert for bangladesh" ever before I highly highly recommend it, its absolutely awesome

[mickill]

bumping for john
So hey, what's your favorite John Lennon song?

[little j]

John was the soul
Paul was the brain
George was the heart

and Ringo

.....was the drummer.

i think you have john and paul mixed up.

i'd say that john was the conscious thought
paul was the subconcious feeling
and ringo was the id
but george was the best and as my mama says, the handsomest

[hitmonlee]

So hey, what's your favorite John Lennon song?
john lennon as in john lennon or something he wrote and performed with the beatles?

[mickill]

john lennon as in john lennon or something he wrote and performed with the beatles?
Howsabout one of each?

[hitmonlee]

solo: jealous guy (very simple song, but really tugs on my heartstrings)



i'll have to think a bit more about my favourite song he's written, so many! always changing.

[mickill]

Good choice. Donny Hathaway also did an excellent cover of Jealous Guy that'd be worth checking for.

As far as Lennon's songwriting goes, I think he's one of few artists ever that somehow managed to record so many songs of such equal brilliance, despite having such drastically varying instrumentation and recording styles. Whether the production was stripped down (Working Class Hero) or leaning towards a more experimental/grandiose style (Tomorrow Never Knows/Strawberry Fields Forever), he always sounded like he was in his element.

Solo: Watching The Wheels, Instant Karma, How Do You Sleep?, Oh Yoko, Mother

Beatles: Happiness Is A Warm Gun, In My Life, I'm So Tired, Dear Prudence, A Day In The Life

[trailerprincess]

I am not much of a Beatles fan but I'd have to say George if I had to pick one.
