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."
Paul.
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.

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.
I'm glad John Lennon was killed.
Ringo, because he has the decency to shut the hell up.

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.

This. Although I have to give Ringo credit for just doing whatever the fuck he wanted, no matter how goofy it seemed.
I hate Beatles. They crawl into my sleeping bag.

Maybe if you are extra nice the rest of the soldiers will let you sleep in the barracks and not outside.

No can do. I have bad nightmares and I have a tendency to wake up in the middle of the night screaming and spraying bullets in every direction. I'm not even allowed to have hand grenades anymore.
