Yoko is a Beatle? 

In what sense classical? Paul was the only self-sufficient composer in the band, as the post-1970 solo albums by all the 4 members demonstrated. 

If by classical you mean "with inclination towards classical music", once again, Paul is the only ex-Beatle has composed classical music, albeit he isn't Saint-Saens or Scriabine.

I agree, Paul.

Paul. Eleanor Rigby makes clear that he has some skill in counterpoint.

I think George. Martin. Much more beatle than Yoko (what she's doing in these polls?)
