McCartney... even if he a complete ass..


a totally underrated bassist, and that voice....  I can understand why women swoon to his voice, this from a self described tough guy and manly man,  his voice is fabulous and has that smoldering sexual quality to it.  Close second goes  to George especially for the best album of the 70's that isn't completely run into the ground with radio airplay and roving groups of fanboys across the internet.. All Things Must Pass.  What an album...

Harrison for me

the two other songwriter were more prolific and wrote together

Harrison was more of a late bloomer and started writing alone. I believe he is the one that made Beatles album reach the sublime level after 67

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

You pretty much summed it up.  He was by far the best at his instrument in the band. 

true as a lobster in a pteredaktyl's underpants.

     McCartney was a genius in his own way, but ended up producing some
appalingly silly filler as well. Lennon, to me, was not only a great composer
and singer, but among the greatest artists of the last century, with Chaplin,
Tarkovsky, Fellini, Picasso, Stravinsky, etc.

I like Lennons' voice and writing the most out of everything about the Beatles.

I love Lennon's voice. Even when he isn't singing, he has such an interesting, great voice. Mabey a hint of Irish with mostly English. Whatever it is, I have always liked his voice the best so I vote for him.

Ringo had a great voice as well.

John Lennon.  But him and McCartney were both genius'...He was the better song writer and Paul was better with the instumentation.

Paul McCartney

I think his compositions were the most superior and he certainly is the most skilled instrument wise.
