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...

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.

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.

George Harrison, the most underrated composer of the band.

Brian Epstein and George Martin were more important for the band than Ringo. LOL

Lennon for me, his lyrics were better and his song were less commercial.

But for me Paul was by far the best instrumentalist of the band his bass work is way more important than George Guitar works.

If I was to rank them on 100 overall, I would Put Lennon and Macca: 99, George: 85 and the poor Ringo: 55

Definitely Lennon. He was a master at writing great, minor key melodies.
