This question has nagged at me for years and years.
Is there a Beatle who is hands-down the best of the 4 Beatles? Is this even a legitimate question?
It just seems to me that if there is a best Beatle, it's got to be Paul and for so many reasons.
He seems to have been the hardest working, the most dedicated to music, the one who most loves performing/touring, who's written the most popular and highest selling songs, maybe even the best-looking?
I don't know. I just feel like Paul's the unacknowledged Elephant in the Room and maybe history should give him the credit he deserves.
I think there's a lot to say on this subject but I can't imagine anyone disagreeing with this assessment of Paul. John is my favorite Beatle and that's why this question causes me some distress. I want to think John and Paul are equal but I think that's more wishful thinking than reality.
It's like trying to choose to worship one God out of an assembly of Gods who are all worthy of worship (
or are they?).
