Do you all have a favorite Beatle? I'm not sure why, but when I was first exposed to the Beatles at a very young age, I always loved Ringo. He's always been my favorite since then. This summer, I went to California and saw his house, so that was pretty cool! What about you? Do you have a favorite?

Ringo because he's not as famous.
Definitely Paul. I like his songs the best, I love his post Beatles work, and he's just so cute!!!

I'm glad someone else feels the way I do about John. He was so talented and had a beautiful voice.
John and Paul were an INCREDIBLY talented at writing music and lyrics. Absolutely talented.
I'm not a big fan of Paul. I mean, how many good songs has he written outside the Beatles? Lyrics wise. Really, silly love songs kind of sucks.
But John is awesome.

For those who love John, I highly recommend two books I recently read: John Lennon - The Life by Norman & Memories of John Lennon by Ono.
I also highly recommend for all Beatles fans travelling to Liverpool to see where they grew up and got their start. I went a year ago and had a wonderful time. It is such a neat place to see. A highlight for me was going into John's boyhood home.
I too adore the man:)Kristine wrote: "I'm glad someone else feels the way I do about John. He was so talented and had a beautiful voice."
Don't forget to participate in the poll. Look for it at the top right of this page.
You should also read Shout! It's by Philip Norman.
Thanks Zia. I shall. I've also read The Beatles by Bob Spitz. Have you read that one? If so, how does it compare to Shout?
No, I haven't read that one. I added Shout! to the book shelf.
Thanks Zia! I appreciate how much you participate in our Beatles group. Have you taken the poll yet?
Paul hasn't written any good songs without John.
Yeah, he wrote Yesterday. And I think Paul is kinda the bossy one...lol.
Oh. With Wings he wrote Band on the Run; that's a good song.
Thats really hard I would personally spend a day with ANY of them...
and lol my friends and I pertend that Pauls my boyfriend... lol its a joke
but that doesnt make him my fav i dont think....
maybe george... he seems the nicest and most modest and cute lol
I no rit! lol
RINGO!!!!!!!! Does there have 2 b a reason why? Cos idk y. He is just awesome! And he put up with a lot from the other three.
George and Paul are in close second, unless I'm in a mood, cos then John is second. John makes me laugh the most.

John really bossed them around a lot, but Paul was really mean to Stuart Sutcliff when the band was first getting started. Paul wanted 2 play bass, and Stu was already there. John didn't originally want George in the band, because he was so much younger.

George! He's my favorite - some of my favorite Beatles songs are by him: While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Here Comes the Sun. George also did the Concert for Bangladash. (I'm saying that the other 3 aren't extremely awesome though!!! Paul and John are great songwriters and Ringo's great @ the drums.)
John and Paul only let George write 2 songs per album... RUDE.
I know. A lot of his songs on the later albums were written a while earlier, but John and Paul wouldn't let him put them on any albums because they felt the songs weren't Beatle standard. The songs them became extremely popular.
Typo alert!!! I meant THEN became popular.
ooooo! i c now! thx u very much.

I wish that they appreciated him earlier... maybe because he was the youngest they treated him like that at the beginning and they did become way better friends after that but maybe they still were picky about his songs.... idk im no specialist!
