I've always been a fan of the most "underrated" () Beatle, Mr. Harrison.

Well, for me the most creative was Mc Cartney as he wrote dozens of great songs, but I voted for Harrison because in the late years he wrote three of my favourite songs of all time: "Something", "Here Comes The Sun" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".

Poor Ringo gets no love. 

I voted for Paul, but it was tough between him and John.  However, like eddietrooper said, George's late-Beatle compositions are among my favorites.

... and in the "after life" after Beatles, IMO, he had the most interesting career

Almost voted Paul until I read this and thought - yeah, "Something" and "Here Comes the Sun". Of all my 'Beatles' albums this Japanese pressing (the best of George Harrison) is the one that gets the most play. Simply amazing sound quality.

Side-One
1.Something
2.If I needed someone
3.Here comes the sun
4.Taxman
5.Think for yourself
6.For you blue
7.While my guitar gently weeps
Side-Two
1.My sweet lord
2.Give me love
3.You
4.Bangla Desh
5.Dark horse
6.What is life

There is no best, but my favourite is McCartney (though I once looked like Harrison =))

Lennon got my vote without hesitation although I find Harrison quite proggy in the late 60's.

Paul McCartney

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

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

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.

Where's Pete Best ?

Fire up the flux capacitor ! We're taking this Delorean through all four dimensions.

What is the future of prog ? Genesis reunion ? I'm not telling!That could upset the thyme/space continuum.

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