Who is your favorite Beatle?

George- his was my favorite Beatles song (Here Comes the Sun).
More personally, I learned that song as one of my first ever songs with a solo when I first started playing.

Eddie Murphy - the 5th member.

Lennon, I don't like the Beatles overall, but John Lennon solo, (Without Yoko) is good sounding music. I hear the Beatles everywhere, it's starting to irritate me.

John Lennon, by far. I think he is one of the greatest lyricists of all time.

I like John in the early days and Paul in the later days. And IMO, John's music was 90% (and I'm being generous) BAD after the Beatles.

BTW, John Lennon died, not from a bullet to the back; he died when Yoko corrupted his brain....The body of John lived, but John Lennon died then. Yoko's brainwashing was like a form of Alzheimers. I F'ing LOATH Yoko. Yoko is pure evil and ugliness.

This is a load of ridiculous bullsh*t. I'm not a fan of Yoko but you're making it out like she was an evil sorcerer or something. John was purely capable of making his own decisions, I don't see how wanting to break free from the band so he can have full creative control over distributing his work because his former songwriting partner was turning into a control freak equates to "corrupting his brain".

Also, John Lennon's solo career is superb, the songs he wrote after the Beatles are on par with anything he wrote with the Beatles, nothing changed, his creativity continued to evolve, Yoko actually deserves a lot of credit for that, she was his muse in a way.

If you think Plastic Ono Band and Imagine were bad albums then I just don't know what to say, they're leagues beyond any of Paul's solo work.

You're entitled to your opinion on John Winston (sorry, he legally changed his middle name to ONO...hmmm???)...So Let me rephrase, John Ono Lennon's solo work--which I think for the very MOST part sucks. But I'm spot on with my take concerning Yoko, Lucifer, Ono and the manipulative rot she infested John's mind with.

WTF are you talking about? So what if he changed his middle name to "Ono"?
Even if I have to admit that Mind Games is one of the ugliest albums I've ever heard, you can't rule out the fact that Plastic Ono Band, Imagine, Walls & Bridges, Double Fantasy and Milk and Honey contain some of this man's best work. Not to forget that Ono had some great tracks on Double Fantasy.

So stop acting so childishly, as if you're wiser than the Ono-blinded Lennon, even if you subconsciously think that if Lennon stayed in Britain instead of following Yoko to New York he might've stayed alive.
Snap out of it, the guy is dead, and Yoko Ono was not the Lucifer of the Dakota building.

Lennon's last really good stuff, for the most part, was the White album. (Abbey Road was all Paul and the two classic Harrison hits). The White album was about the time he got mixed up with Yoko. John's songwriting skill went down greatly after that. John himself said, after the breakup of the Beatles, while he was "house husband" to Yoko, that "he had lost it"' meaning the ability to write songs.

And who the hell are you to say I'm acting childish? WTF are you talking about? You have you're opinion, I have mine. If you don't like it, shut the hell up and move on. Obviously you are a fool not to see Yoko is a bad person, and not to see I'm speaking tongue in cheek by calling Yoko Satan...(There is no Satan as far as I know), but Yoko is clearly a manipulative, bad person. You must have done too much LSD back in the day. The world is not love and peace. Lennon himself gave up on that idea. Take off the beads, and take that flower out of your hair brother, wake up drink some coffee, and clue yourself in.

Read up brother... You have a lot to learn about Yoko.

"Ono had some great tracks" Excuse me, but I really must stop now. Ok I'm back after rotflmfao (we children like to laugh at clowns after all)! As far as Lennon's "best work," it's all opinion of course, but I really have NEVER heard of the public pining for a Plastic Ono Band reunion, BUT, we always heard of the desire for the Beatles to reunite. Didn't Saturday Night Live offer the Beatles like one million dollars to appear on the show? How much did they offer John Ono Lennon and Yoko to appear?
