Interesting question, isn´t it? Although, I have to admit, not original one.

(I´m curious how many votes will get Ringo...)

Early Beatles/Lennon epitomizes R&R vocals (e.g., Twist & Shout). carried on through such classics as Yer Blues and Happiness is a Warm Gun. McCartney's more a crooner, and Harrison sort of fits in the Clapton school of vocals (ok... we'll give you a mike because you're such a renowned musician). I suspect the rebellion vote will go for Starkey, though.

I'm curious to see if any of the other three will move from zero
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

I don't know how somebody would vote for Harrison... yes, I know it's about favourite ones and not best but I dislike his style of singing... Lennon was good and I do enjoy the chorus shared with McCartney... but at the end I tend to enjoy McCartney vocals alone... so, Paul is it...

It's either John or Paul for me.  I voted Paul just because John is leading.

It's a poll so you really don't have to have a reason for your choice.  I piled on Lennon just because...

Love all their voices, but Paul has (arguably) the most versatile range.  He can screech, he can croon, he can be ear-poundingly heavy or airy and light.  I mean, c'mon, The man sang both Long and Winding Road and Oh! Darling.  Amazing.
