Poll question: John, Paul. George, or Ringo?
Inspired by The Beatles v. Stones poll

10. That's like asking me to choose between my children!!

(Side note: I got on a Stone Roses kick the other day and was watching stuff on YouTube...Ian's "dance" STILL makes me laugh so hard I almost pee. :rofl:)

2. Watching Neighbours over here in the UK
They've named 4 of their characters after the Beatles (Johnny, Pauline, George, and Ringo Brown). So far Ringo's the coolest one yet.

George was the nicest Beatle and may he rest in peace.

3. Lennon without a doubt.
John wrote the best of the Beatle material and his solo work crushes all the others.

5. John for his humanity, Ringo for sex.
Can't help it, he's cute.

6. Ringo put the beat in Beatles
Thy had Pete Best for two years and did what? Played bingo halls and strip clubs. Two years after Ringo joined they had a dozen number one hits and were riding the world wide wave of Beatlemania. Plus he wound up marrying Barbara Bach, one of the hottest Bond girls ever. Are you kidding?

7. The Fab Four as a whole
The total was much more than just the sum of the parts.

8. I saw Ringo on the street one day
one of those bizarre LA incidents.

I was waiting for some friends outside a small Chinese place in an industrial area. A door opened to the warehouse next store, and out walked Ringo and his wife Barbara Bach. Just me and them on an empty street. They just, like, walked on up the street like normal people.

(this poll is as timely as the Stones vs. the Beatles from yesterday.)

9. I'm a George fan, myself
not that John isn't a poet, but there's just always been something about George.

11. The Beatles were always John's band.
He's the one who invited Paul to join.

Neither one of them would have reached their potential it they hadn't been competing, collaborating, and pushing each other as musicians and writers.

You should have put George Martin in the poll also. His contributions to the music were vital.

14. Paul
I think he's the most musically talented of the group and his solo/Wings career, despite being the most commercially successful, is also the most underrated of any of the Beatles, IMHO. So in terms of their musical output, I would vote for Paul.

15. Refuse to vote. The beatles would not have been the beatles
without all of them. They were more than a group. They were a force of nature.

16. Paul. Most consistent (not best) songwriter, far and away best singer, one of the best musicians
