George Harrison, the most underrated composer of the band.

John Lennon was clearly the best singer, instrumentalist, songwriter and lyricist in the band IMHO. On top of that, he was the coolest dude, most influential and easily my favorite of the four.

I find that it's George who composed the best songs in and outside the Beatles.
But the nicest is certainly Paul LOL and the most influential would rather be John, at last it seems to me.

My favourite song from them is While my Guitar Gentley Weeps, and close to second would be Here Comes the Sun... but I don't know if that would be enough to make me vote for him, Lennon/McCartney wrote so many more songs. As far as I understand, most of the more important songs were actually written by McCartney (but it's difficult to tell given that their songs were always credited to the pair). As far as solo songs go, I've heard much more from Lennon, but it seems to me his solo discography would be my favourite (even if it's totally non-prog).
By the way, has anyone read about the "theory" that McCartney was actually killed before they released Abbey Road in a car accident, and was replaced by a double and kept quiet up until now...

John Lennon and George Harrison are the two real Beatles. I never really liked the other two. Anyway, I voted for Lennon, as he needs more support.

Paul is best as a Beatle and a post Beatle he was successful remember Wings and his solo career - both were successful despite the hate mail here.
 
I am a fan of Wings so dont knock it!

I think I'll have to go with Lennon, although George Harrison would be my Dark Horse.
