   George Harrison:

Became a good sitar player under the tutelage of Ravi Shankar and had a life long involvement with Indian music
Had the first moog synthesiser in the UK and recorded an album 'Electronic Sound'
Was responsible for the first large scale rock concert for charity - Concert for Bangla Desh
Was the founder of Hand Made Films and producer of Life of Brian
Wrote 2 of the 30 songs which get the most radio play (Something and My Sweet Lord)
Wrote songs with Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton, among others
To say nothing of his contributions to the Beatles and his solo career - All Things Must Pass and Brainwashed are probably the best Beatles solo albums. Let's hear it for the quiet one!

	BTW (dung beetles aside for the nonce), I'll agree with Syzygy, and go with George for talent too, although the acerbic John was always my favourite/most interesting Beatle. Still, I think Paul wrote the most quintessential Beatles songs. Tough call. Edited by Peter

	It is so hard to choose between John and Paul because I feel they were both brilliant,musical geniuses. But I will go with Lennon.
