Best Beatles Members
John Winston Ono Lennon, MBE (9 October 1940 - 8 December 1980) was an English singer and songwriter who rose to worldwide fame as a co-founder of the Beatles, the most commercially successful band in the history of popular music. He was assassinated by Mark David Chapman on December 8, 1980 at age... read more Even though John was a troubled man, I still admire him because his songwriting skill was great and he could be funny sometimes.
I have always been so enamored of this genius. He was unflinchingly, brutally honest, so courageous, and so gifted. He was compassionate and humane. Love, love, love John Lennon!
He is the soul of the band. Without him, the Beatles would not be as great as many of us know.
Sir James Paul McCartney (born 18 June 1942) is an English singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and composer. With John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, he gained worldwide fame with the rock band the Beatles, one of the most popular and influential groups in the history of pop and rock... read more Sir Paul deserves #1. He wrote many Beatles hits such as Blackbird and Yesterday, and helped on other hits such as Norwegian Wood. He was the heart of the band and truly helped it succeed.
In my opinion, Paul's the best vocalist in the band. I like his songs better than others' too. Both his Beatles and post-Beatles stuff.
Overall, clearly Paul had the best career. But even in The Beatles, he was always the main contributor as a songwriter and arranger (except around Help! and Beatles For Sale where John was much more productive). McCartney is the "Mozart" of modern music, a true genius.
George Harrison (1943 - 2001) was an English guitarist, singer, songwriter, and music and film producer who achieved international fame as the lead guitarist of the Beatles. George Harrison was the best Beatle. In my opinion, he was the only member who kept his roots and didn't let wealth and fame consume him like it has Paul and Ringo. George was unique, kind-hearted, and spirited. He was held back by Paul, whereas John encouraged George.
George's talents were proven when he went solo, releasing many songs he didn't have the chance to release on Beatles albums. He held benefit concerts for Bangladesh, taught his son to play guitar while ill with cancer on his deathbed, and helped Tom Petty out after his home was targeted by arson. George was wild in a good sense.
I was 13 when George passed away, and it broke my heart. I still am a major fan of his. His music is so calming, and his guitar playing sings. I love Marwa Blues, Pisces Fish, Faster, and Brainwashed. George Harrison, Tom Petty, and Per Gessle are amazing musicians. I think Per Gessle fits George Harrison's qualities, don't you lot?
Richard Starkey known professionally as Ringo Starr, is an English musician, singer, songwriter and actor who gained worldwide fame as the drummer for the Beatles. All four are equal! So Ringo gets my vote. He's the best drummer ever and the best percussionist.
Best drummer ever! But seriously, all four Beatles are equal!
He's Best, but not "the best". That's sad.
Stuart Fergusson Victor Sutcliffe was a Scottish-born painter and musician best known as the original bass guitarist for the Beatles.He was the drummer after Ringo had tonsillitis. Ringo met them back in Australia.
Played for four shows in 1960 as a bassist before he returned to school.
