I might vote for Yoko Ono if she was a Beatle. But since she was not, I'd rather vote for Stuart Sutcliffe or Pete Best if they were included.
I have to choose between John and George yet.

Any of them except Ringo. Paul has done some, John has Revolution #9 and Two Virgins etc and George has Wonderwall and Electronic Music.

ahhhh avant-garde is looking good for Yoko, but if its just one of the actual Beatles, then it's John for sure.

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Paul is also behind charging $1200 to see him perform (no sh*t, tix at the Tobin Center in San Antonio, Texas were being sold at $1200! - they didn't sell out and tickets were given away to university studetns to fill the seats).
f**k MACCA - I've given that SOB a TON of cash over the years. We all have! And this is his thanks. f**k MACCA! Thought I'd never say that, but that's how I feel.
Sorry for the rant. What wast the topic again?

Yoko, obviously. She was avant garde years before any of the others, working with John Cage and being involved with the Fluxus movement.

Yoko. But seriously, Stuart Sutcliffe is probably the right answer.

Ringo has a vote?!  George, for Wonderwall Music. Although John is worthy too.

Would Ringo's genre expirements be considered a sort of avant-garde? Going from the most popular band in the world and winning acolades as one of the greatest drummers in rock, his next step was an album of standards from the 30s and 40s? Then a country-western album? I remember the most "punk" of all the "punks" I knew would wear three-piece suits to Buzzcocks shows. His explanation being what could be more punk than spitting in the face of punk convention of wearing leather and studs.

I recently got George H's Electronic Sound LP. It is highly experimental, yet surprised me how 'cohesive' it plays through - I expected random wheezings and burbling bubbles and swoops, I got all this, but without being 'random' (if you get what I mean...). Yes, he did get help from some Tech-Heads, but this Proto-Prog-electronic !! The best thing I've heard from a solo Beatle member.

Definitely George Harrison...
he made two avant-garde electronic music solo albums (with Klaus Vorman) while he was in The Beatles
Wonderwall Music (68) and Electronic Sound (69) put anything Yokoever did to shame, really

John, though Paul and George are definitely more avant-garde than that they are credited for.

Voted John for Revolution 9 which I think is a masterpiece of disturbing sounds and musique concrete (I know it was a collaboration with Yoko, but if John wasn't involved it never would have been released on a Beatles album).

You can make a case for anyone except Ringo. Personally, I believe the strongest is for John--the bed-ins, the live "Give Peace A Chance" in the Toronto hotel room, the cover of Two Virgins, and the song "God" in particular on the Plastic Ono Band album. And Beatle-wise, just listen to the brilliance of "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Revolution No. 9" (with invaluable assistance from George Martin).
