George.

Aside from every other reason I like him best, if it weren't for George we wouldn't have had Life of Brian.  And that would have been a tragedy.

Ringo, don't know why. Maybe because he didn't get to be the genius or the eternally famous one but I think he'll outlive them all.

I really don't like George, but that is because of his solo things.  Paul is summed up best by achewood (underrated bassist, overrated celebrity; also, all of his non revolver, or post revolver, songs blow.) and Ringo is the coolest.  But John, John is the one who speaks to me.

Who cares.  They were great together and they were all pretty damn good on their own.

All I have to say about this is, there is a sushi place I go to, where the owner plays nothing but the Beatles, over and over and over. Now when I hear the Beatles I get a craving for sushi.

Unless it's a song with sitar in it, in which case I'm completely confused and can't decide if I want sushi or Indian.

the beatles were the band who taught me to get music. the first band where I learned to tell the instruments apart and know whole albums of songs by name, etc.
It was a big deal when I realized I could tell who wrote the songs, and that John was my favorite. Although George's guitar playing is awesome, and as stated, Paul is a great bass player and writer and singer.

John is my favorite. If only because I have a weird love for guys who are dicks, because I wish I could be that aggressive in pursuit of things I want.

Oh I get it, Beatles is like the word "beetle" but they're musicians, so its BEATles. Am I getting this right now?

To me the Beatles were kind of "there", somehow. During my infancy I was physically/psychologically/culturally removed from whatever was going on in the Real World, kind of a "raised by wolves" deal, but even so a few of their songs ("Michelle", "Help!", those types of early tunes) had apparently managed to trickle down to our rarefied lycanthrope society. For a long while I never associated the (few) tunes I later found out were theirs with "rock songs from a rock band"; To my warped perspective those were songs that had always existed, like "Happy Birthday to You". Only yyyyyears later I got acquainted with more stuff from them. But never really got around to really know what I'm talking about when I talk about the Beatles. They were kind of like Radiohead back then is that right?
