John & Paul were writers - Geroge was the musician. I always vote for the musician.

John snags it for me over Paul, all that Mull of Kintyre nonsense...... No! I've just remembered Ringo narrates on Thomas The Tank Engine! Ringo all the way, ignore the vote!

George, unfairly underrated (rarely use this word but it fits here as a glove), great composer, superb musician and seemed to be the kindest guy in the band.

John, with George a very close second. I have only recently started to give Paul a bit more of a chance. His more recent work is probably the best of his solo career.

Although the Beatles should be treated as a band rather than four individuals, my vote goes to John. But it is a very difficult decision: As others before me stated, George was an excellent muscian and composer (plus I second Ivan in his opinion that George must have been one hell of a kind guy). Sir Paul - well, I like him and his work as well. People tend to overlook that he isn't just one of the greatest composers of today, but also a pretty good bass player. And Ringo was and is the funny one - so he's likeable as well, isn't he? Nevertheless, for me it's John with all the errors he made and misbehavings he showed. When he was killed, the world lost an extraordinary man. Same goes for George! - Should I stick to my first sentence? Yeah, I think so.
It's The Beatles, one of the most influential and best bands of all times!

1. John
2. George
3. Paul
4. Ringo
It's not easy to rank them though, as they all had their indivdual strengths that made them work so well as a whole. John wrote my favorite Beatles song ever ("Strawberry Fields Forever"), and had the most consistently good output, but there are Paul and George songs that I'd rank up there with some of John's best. (especially "Blackbird" and "Something").
Ringo may have been the weakest songwriter, but he was great for the comic relief.

I accidentally read a biography of George and he came off like an instinct-driven idiot ;P maybe the author had an agenda but if anything in there was a fact then it's the same. voting for Ringo, he has irony appeal

True story: when I was a kid some radio station had a contest where you could win a piece of the shirt one of the Beatles wore during their (I think) 1966 tour. Ya had to pick your favorite Beatle. I chose Lennon, and actually won a piece of the shirt (yeah, right). So it was Lennon then and it's Lennon now.
