Definitely Paul. Followed by John, George and Ringo. Though I love all of their solo careers equally.

Quoted from kevin_b

** 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)


I agree Winwood may be personality free, but his voice sure isn't.  One of the best in rock-n-roll.  And a great player too (nice keys on Voodoo Chile).  Too bad he made so many bland records.  The 94 Traffic reunion album is pretty weak (picked it up at the pawnshop, wasn't worth it).  

It's a shame none of the Beatles was able to bond artistically in any extended collaboration with other musicians in another band setting.

I guess the exception is George and the Wilburys which had their moments.  

John fronting another band would have been really cool--I guess the only problem would have been Yoko horning in.  Only the likes of Elephant's Memory were up for that gig.

John Lennon associated himself with the peace movement, so his solo work meant something.  Paul's solo work is pointless.

Just because Paul didn't have bed-ins doesn't mean he wasn't for peace. And since when should someone's music be "pointless" just because it's not overtly political?


You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you.

Great reply.

And the answer the poll asks is George. I particularly like his collabs with Clapton and The Travelling Wilburys.

A bit narrowed minded as a statement. Still, Beatle fans that to choose to dis-like one of the group tend to narrow their enjoyment of the whole thing. Is Paul being a Sir really that much of a yuk for you?

You could (if you wanted to) put Lennon down by accusing him of using political protest to line his pockets, whilst Paul opened up about real love. That sounds about as absurd as your comparison though. lol

Horses for courses, no harm meant.

I don't know enough to comment on this (Solo output)....from what I have heard....undecided....They all underachieved after The Beatles as far as I am concerned.

We're being unfair with this guy: have any of you read the article? (I'm with Bobber and I'm not going to read it) but perhaps...  


Just kidding, OK?

If you ever come back here I'd love you to explain that statement to us all. I wonder if that means that Jim also thought all The Beatles output pointless too. I've read some sweeping statements here, but that one takes the biscuit.


I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.

Quoted from Wayne L.
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.  

^^^^^That's exactly what I was thinking.......
