John got too political for me. Don't like being preached at. Paul and Ringo were a bit too light. George seemed to be about right. Not too light or too heavy. But for sheer volume, Paul wins hands down.
It seems to me that they had a synergy together that wasn't there after they broke up. I think their lack of musical sophistication told on them. Somehow together, though, they couldn't be beat. I think George Martin is largely responsible for that.
