Who's solo career do you like best?

Mine used to be George's but recently I'm obsessed with Paul's so that's who I voted for.

I voted for Paul because he has had the best solo career after the Beatles despite mostly mediocre albums with lots of hit singles & a few masterpieces.  

i think the most succesful was pauls, but i prefer john...mayb

Paulie

Nice to see Paul is winning.

odd to see no ones voted for anyone else

Paul might be the only one you could have made it without The Beatles.

Quoted from Bobber

Paul might be the only one you could have made it without The Beatles.

That's an interesting thought.
1963 - Oppotunity Knocks - 2 contestants by chance from Liverpool, Paul MCCartney and John Lennon, each step up to the mike and sing a song, accompanied by their own guitar.
Who would have got through? Paul for sure, I guess. John wouldn't have had the looks/stage charisma to be a solo artist*. Songwriter yes. Sole frontman in a band without a McCartney? Again, he might have got away with it, but nothing too successful**.
Would have made a good Rolling Stone.
Paul solo - yes. Sole front man of a band - yes.
George, no and no.
Ringo - yes, as some kind of drum novelty act (The Amazing Ringo Starr and his Singing Drums!)

* F**k. Now I'm thinking Roy Orbison. I give up.
** hold that thought. If someone as personality free as Steve Winwood can front Traffic, then John could have fronted another band. (Sorry-stupid on my part)

As some of you know (hehe!) I don't know much about Paul's solo stuff. But, judging from mostly compiliation albums, I would say that John made more great music in 5+1 years than the others put together in all they did.

John made only 2.5 good lp's in his solocarreer. With All Things Must Pass, George alone put 3.0 good lp's forward.

Hmmmm...I'm with you to a point - I acquired ATMP recently. It's really good. Just on the subject, don't you feel I Dig Love just sounds so Lennon-esque?

Also, there's the thing that John influenced George in the Beatles' days, and A Hard Day's Write says that John was upset when George didn't mention his influence on George in his autobiography.

As for the '1/2' a good album, are you thinking of John's half of his 1980 album? Have you heard Yoko's songs on that album? I heard them years ago. Oh dear..!

Have you got a deathwish?
In my humble opinion John went from brilliant (POB) to good (imagine), mediochre (Mindgames & Walls and Bridges), bland (Rock'n'Roll) and awful (Double Fantasy).
Many, of course, disagree.

All Things Must Pass was released before any other solo-album. So maybe, and with the same arguments, you could say that John sounds Harrison-esque.

John was upset, of course. But I think they all influenced each other. I'm pretty sure George had an influence on John as well. John may have had an influence as a songwriter, George vice versa as a leadguitarist.

No. It's my humble opinion that Double Fantasy is not a good album. I'm counting Plastic Ono Band as one, Imagine as two and a few songs here and there from Mind Games and Walls And Bridges as a half.

That "only 2.5 good lp's " could be Plastic Ono Band, Imagine and Double Fantasy, and they are great but Mind Games and Walls + Bridges are quite good too (Mind Games my favourite one).

I've heard the most of John's solo career and I really like his music. I've just recently bought Paul Mccartney, Chaos and Creation in the backyard and it's great too. Everyone from the beatles were good. I think they all added something special to the group and to me it wouldn't be the same if it was just one of them. They are better together.
