if you could only listen to either pauls songs, john songs, georges songs, or ringos from there beatles period for the rest of youre life whos would you choose i know that a lot of lennon/mccartney songs are co wrote but they still get recognised as a paul song or a john like tommorow never knows is a john song and penny lane is a paul song so who would you choose
Funny this. I've considered myself a bigger Paul fan over the years, but only a quick look at the discography and it becomes fairly apparent, to me at least, that it has to be John. To name but a few:
A Hard Day's Night If I Fell No Reply I'm a Loser Eight Days a Week Help! In My Life I'm Only Sleeping And Your Bird Can Sing Strawberry Fields I Am The Walrus A Day In The Life Come Together
I could go on!
I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.
oops i forgot to say which id choose id probably go for pauls stuff over the rest,john had loads of great songs but a lot of hit and miss stuff imo, george also wrote great tracks but loses out because of qauntity

Uh this is slightly short of IMPOSSIBLE!!! I'd say Paul, but then I think of one of John's, like I Am The Walrus or George's While My Guitar Gently Weeps... Sorry, just can't do it
Hey, another indecision freak! *high fives Flaming Pie*
I'm going for the easy answer: Ringo!
All you've got to do is choose love. That's how I live it now. I learned a long time ago, I can feed the birds in my garden. I can't feed them all. -- Ringo Starr, Rolling Stone magazine, May 2007

I can't vote because when I listen to their music my preferences changes from time to time. A few months ago I was heavily into songs like I am the warlus, Strawberry fields, Here comes the sun & Lucy in the sky, but right now I'm listening again to their earlier stuff. But basically there are songs that I've always liked despite my mood.
In the last months these were the songs I listened a lot:
John's songs: Strawberry fields forever, I am the warlus, Tomorrow never knows, A hard day's night, And your bird can sing, Help!, Norwegian Wood Paul: Got to get you into my life, Can't buy me love, Get back, Let it be, Hey Jude George: Something, Here comes the sun, Taxman Ringo: Octopus' garden
I remember there was a time when one of the songs I listened a lot were Lovely Rita and Fixing a hole.
oh no typical me I misread the question- thought it was about which Beatle's post-Beatle solo stuff you would most like to listen to only. Oooops
So I said George (an answer to the wrong question) because my enthusiasm for the whole album 'All Things Must Pass' just surfaced
But I should have said John (my answer to the question I was supposed to be answering) mainly because (though I love George's songs) John has obviously done far more in the Beatles than George. And I have always just about preferred John's overall songs to Paul's. Not by loads, but enough to make John my vote. (Gems like Strawberry Fields, Come Together, Day in the Life, Walrus, And Your Bird Can Sing, Norwegian Wood, I'm Only Sleeping etc. are just so varied and unique and I love them) Poor Ringo loses out on this one- not many songs to choose from for him, bless him. Glad to see him included on the poll though- I have known polls to just not include Ringo at all- outrageous I say!
(sorry for voting wrong- if it can be changed then can someone please do it? If not my George will do me fine- because I feel his quality of songs is often as good as John's and it is really only the fact that he did far fewer overall than John which makes him lose my vote)
But every so often you come across something truly inspiring...

Don't worry, i just realised i thought the same thing. Its just too hard, i really can't say! John, Paul, George ..all amazing songwriter "in the Beatles"!
It's been a Hard Days Night & i've been working like a dog!
