I say George.   :cool:

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Tough; John was a prick, Paul was a sap, Ringo was a joke, George was just there, very talentedly, of course, but so were J and P (Ringo is... dubious).  Without being an early-mid 60's teeny-bopper, it seems a little strange to pick a fave Beatle...

Pffft. It's perfectly natural for people to pick favorites for anything. Favorite Hitchcock movie, favorite ice cream flavor, favorite 80s hair metal band, favorite Buffy cast member, etc. Even if it's something you've never thought about before, it's not a hard task to decide "eh, I like this better than that."

If Apu isn't an option I say Paul. Talented and not crazy.

I say John also. Funny though, Ringo got the most fan mail in their day. Really though they were all at their best (pun intended) as Beatles.
:p

Jet: I see.

Not criticizing the poll idea, it's just hard to separate what I think of them now, as a casual fan, versus when it was really crucial, at least if you were a female teenager, to have a favorite Beatle.

The first 5 years after they broke up, he also sold the most records.  (Five years after they broke up is a significant period because after that, John basically quit making records until 1980.)

Yeah, but it was only a brief comeback.

George.  Not as pretentious as John, not as whiny as Paul, not as goofy as Ringo.  Although Ringo has gotten cooler in his old age.
