who was the 'best' Beatle?

[UpsideDownFlag]

i'm gonna go with Paul McCartney, largely because i love wings, and he was the main songwriter for the Beatles, too. but i know it's gonna be Lennon in a landslide.

[tcfrogs]

1. I've always been a Paul guy too

And that's not any offense to John, I just liked Paul better.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

2. Man, there is no way I can choose. The sum of the four made them the

best.

[Syrinx]

3. the correct order is:

Lennon
McCartney
Harrison
Starr

[Borgnine]

4. Don't make me choose.

I love all four. Paul was probably the best melody writer of the bunch. John was the poet and had the most meaningful lyrics. George had evolved into my favorite songwriter of the four post-Pepper, and Ringo... well, how can you not like Ringo?

Did you know they lip-synched their performance of "All You Need Is Love" during that worldwide telecast? ASHLEE SIMPSON!!!

6. Yeah, truth be told, lip-synhing performances is pretty common

It's hard to keep your voice in top shaoe when you're constantly on the road performing, staying up until the early hours of the morning, etc.

It doesn't change the fact that Ashley Simpson is pretty disposable, but her career isn't exactly over.

10. Also it's nearly impossible to sing if you are also doing a lot of dancing

11. Actually, portions of the performance

were pre-recorded, and some elements... including, if I'm not mistaken, the singing, were live (see Beatles Anthology DVDs). Thank you very much, & we hope you liked the audition.

[Borgnine]

12. I have the Anthology DVDs.

And that's where I got the impression it was all synched. The performance sounded identical to the released version, but maybe I don't have as well-trained as an ear as I thought.

It doesn't matter either way. They're still the greatest.

[RPM]

5. mmmm, puppies

but only if by puppies, you mean kitties; Otherwise I vote for George.

[Lefty48197]

8. Stu Sutcliff followed by Pete Best

who are those other four?

[JimmyJazz]

9. Juice - i prefer beetle juice....

[CanuckAmok]

13. the only 'best' was Pete Best, I believe.

The others were named Sutcliffe, Lennon, McCartney, Starkey, and Harrison

[Seabiscuit]

14. No Contest.

John Lennon all the way.

With no disparagement meant to the other talented Beatles. I've always loved 'em all.

[Raiden]

15. "It's easy if you try"

Lohn Lennon... Without a doubt

[Skittles]

16. I've been sweet on Paul since I was a little girl in England

LOL, I was too young for him the first time he married, and too old the second time. :o

[Kahuna]

17. I like them all. I hate to chose. But since I hafta, I'm going with..

Paul.

[aeolian]

18. Harrison! Hands Down!
