Favourite Beatle??

George Harrison for me - phenomenal guitarist and a somewhat under-rated songwriter in the context of the Lennon/McCartney partnership.  See - "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Something", and "Here Comes the Sun".

Ringo.

The Rikki-Lee of the 60's, made zero talent go a long way.
Many drummers acknowledge Starr as an influence, including Dave Grohl of Nirvana/Foo Fighters, Orri Pll Drason of Sigur Rs,Max Weinberg of the E Street Band, Danny Carey of Tool, Liberty DeVitto of Billy Joel's band, Nicko McBrain of Iron Maiden, Eric Carr of Kiss, Phil Rudd of AC/DC, Phil Collins, Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater, Pedro Andreu of Heroes del Silencio and others..

Lay off the ring..
Although John did say once when asked if Ringo was the best drummer in the world. John replied "he is not even the best drummer in the Beatles", "Paul is"

the "fifth" beatle Brian Epstein
Epstein "discovered" the band in Liverpool, saw their potential, and never wavered in his faith and commitment to them, he gave all the members creative freedom. "If anyone was the fifth Beatle, it was Brian." - Paul McCartney

George FTW

He had all the talent of Lennon and the fake replacment McCartney, with only half the ego.

Is Ringos stuff really that bad? I dont mind "dont pass me by"

George did not have the same talent as Lennon!! George blossomed under Lennon/McCartney, his early stuff was pretty ordinary. He even stated that himself!

Maybe he was just more humble than Lennon?

I rate Ringo as a drummer. Not a fan of any of the songs he sings.


BTW what's the go with Serious starting this thread? i.e. what is George Harrison's connection with Muse ;)

Hahahahaha, I saw what you did there.  :p

They're my second favourite band of all time, so I was interested to see what others thought of them etc.

OJ - are you referring to his songwriting??  'Cause what I was getting at "in the context of the Lennon/McCartney partnership" was that George's songs never quite got the credit they deserved (with the exception of "Something"), even though they were (and are) really quite awesome.

When it comes to guitar playing though there's no contest - even as early as "I Saw Her Standing There" you can hear how clean and technically proficient George's playing is.
 

Jazzie

Sheer joy at beating the scum :)
I went off Paul when he started Wings, John was the best "solo" Beatle, and some of George's solo stuff was pretty good. .... while Ringo just played with his miniature trains, becoming a Fat Controller of the very young Youth Market.

George. "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is sublime.

Ringo was a drummer, and that's it.

Lennon, I reckon he is an enigma. Real talent, but, of all the chickie-babes he could have had, he chooses a complete Fruit Loop who is quite possibly the ONLY woman on earth uglier than me.

McCartney, only JUST less talented than George.

Please see thread title question!!

Lennon because he is Lennon..A day in The Life..Strawberry Fields..In My Life..Rain..All You Need is love..Tommorrow Never Knows.. Happiness is a Warm Gun..I am the Walrus..I'm only sleeping..Plus many more PLUS the other songs he wrote with McCartney Except for Yesterday and The White Album.,.
