Quoted from Sandra
Ringo's songs? Wha?? That would take about five minutes and you'd be done. Then what would you do with the rest of your life?

Play the soundtrack from Caveman?  

Seriously, I had to pick George, because I wouldn't be a Beatles fan if not for him. It's funny how a different writer will resonate with different people. This was definitely the strength of the Beatles-- that they had such diverse styles that they could appeal to a wide variety of people. And if you wanted a change, look no further-- you could find it right in the same band!

But this is an easy answer for me because I only got into the Beatles recently. I just had to look at what music I felt I had to buy first, and it was George's songs that swung my vote in my album selections. I like some of John's and Paul's tunes very much, but I am really drawn to George's style.



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

For all I know, Ringo might be a yogi disguised as a drummer! - George Harrison

ive always been a paul fan but its true how one song can mean the world to one person but could be throwaway to another person and having 3 great songwriters in the same band writing about different things makes sure someone will identify with at least a fe wof there songs,

was watching the beatles gig in the budokan and i never really noticed but george is a really nice guy even on stage hes constantly waving to the fans acknowledging that they are there, hes just slid in to second in my fave beatle

There may have been an ulterior motive. George openly admits that he would wave at the audience to encourage screaming to hide bits of songs they knew would sound sh*t - most famously the Beach Boys vocal bits on Paperback Writer, but I'm sure there were others.

yeah i actually saw that wrote on another thread so i tried to pay attention to when he was waving what was goin on the track there were a few times it seemed he may be hiding a fluffed vocal or guitar part but on a whole it seemed very nice and polite he did it at times where he wasnt singing or even playing anything during verses waiting to come back in, just seemed nice and fresh to see he would wave to the audience during the songs to acknowledge them being there rather than bands nowadays hammering through there set with as little to say as possible and a thanks at the end of the set

Could be. Though he would do it before the offending piece, because he knew when the fluffs were coming. I've only seen him do it on Anthology on Paperback Writer and he isn't playing or singing when he smiles and waves then moves over to take part in the around-the-mike chorus.
Just struck me how forgiving we are of them for doing this. We would probably crucify any other act admitting to doing this.

Wow, this is seriously like impossible to choose! I guess if I HAD to pick it would be Paul's songs. I love his voice so much. But, I could never just listen to his songs only in real life, not even if you paid me! I just couldn't live without John's, George's, and Ringo's songs and voices, I love them sooo much! There would definitly be something (actually 3 somethings) missing! This is a hard question.

This is really hard...I love George and his songs... But really, because of how many John and Paul songs I love it would have to be between them two I think.... Such different styles... At first thought I would think I like more of Paul's but the more I think about it, I love a ton of John's...and a couple of my all  time favorites are from George...

GRRRRRRRRR

My brain hurts

Put that way, John. "Strawberry Fields Forever," "I Am The Walrus," "Tomorrow Never Knows," "Revolution," "Come Together," "Don't Let Me Down," and a bunch of others I'm too lazy to think of right now carry it for me.

The best ever Beatles` song for me comes from George. Its While My Guitar...It is the most beautiful song ever written. Paul appears to be very creative and productive. He may have written the greatest number of songs, most of them hits, let alone Yesterday. However for me John`s voice sounds best, especially in the early Beatles days. I get carried away with his songs and his singing. I side with George Martin, who said that John`s singing gives you the shivers. Did i use the right expression cause i dont remember his exact words? Its kinda shakes you all over.

I can't choose. I'm always in a different mood to hear different songs.

Well, on Mondays, I'm usually in a Georgie mood.
Tuesdays go to Ringo. (The songs he wrote and sung)
Wednesdays are for Paul.
Thursdays for John.
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for group effoerts.
And there are always exceptions.
