Mine is George. I love his tracks off of Help, and Here Comes the Sun is amazing. Plus his solo work, like My Sweet Lord, Faster, Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth), and Got My Mind Set On You

Can't decide between Ringo or George.
So I picked Mccartney.
But I wish I hadn't, I wish I picked George gonk;
George Harrison of course. Paul's pretty cool too.
Paul, because him and the Wings made "Live and Let Die"
John has the best solo work out of the four in my opinion, but even then I just prefer their music as a group.
Most of the best Beatles songs are Lennon/McCartney (or at least, they're labeled as such), and anyone who says different is kidding themselves.
Sure, Harrison had several great songs, but Lennon/McCartney had a shitload more.
Lennon had the best solo career. His stuff that's credited to both him and Yoko's Plastic Band or whatever is good too, though I'm not really way too fond of the way Yoko sings.
McCartney's solo career was pretty kick-ass too, but he was better with Wings than he was solo.
I'm going with Lennon.
AND WE ALLLLLL SHIIIINE OONNNN
Whoever picks Ringo is a retard. Seriously, god damn.
Lennon all the way.

Lennon is the worst of all them.
Harrison has the most creative songs of the band. While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Within You Without You, etc.

Uh, what? I think you need to go through your Beatles collection and look at the sheer amount of great songs credited to him and McCartney.
Ringo is the worst of them. He's a great drummer. Fantastic drummer. But he's not a great songwriter.
Trying to pick between the Beatles for "creativity" is pretty stupid, considering they were all very, very creative men. And by the way, being different isn't always best.
(psst by the way here comes the sun isn't different or more creative or anything)

It's very beautiful though. I almost shed a tear listening to it once.

Of course it is. An awful lot of Beatles songs are absolutely beautiful.

That must be a typo.
With The Beatles: Paul
Solo: George
Attitude: John
In the movies: Ringo
It's really hard to pick one, because they all excel in different aspects in my opinion, but if forced I'd go with Paulie.

How can you judge his songwriting output from like the three fucking songs he wrote with The Beatles (Note: with The Beatles, because John, Paul, and George helped him finish at least 2/3 of the songs)?
Don't say his solo stuff, no one listens to Ringo's solo stuff. befuddlement

I actually saw a VH1 Storytellers thing with Ringo and I was pretty surprised. I thought it was going to be pretty cheesy or something, and it was to an extent, but it wasn't too bad. befuddlement
