John or Paul ... favorite Beatle, favorite solo?

He has 4-5 great songs, comparable to John and Paul's best, but those guys each have dozens and dozens of songs, while George's list stops after about ten album worthy pieces.

I never really dug John's solo work, though I appreciate its significance. I like Paul's work on Wings the best in the solo arena. Their Beatles compositions were very close, but my preference for Paul is ultimately related to my presence for more up tempo, harder rock compositions. E.g., a case can be made that Paul invented metal/hard rock with Helter Skelter.

Wings were total and utter bollocks. They're a joke now and were a major joke then.

He's a home run hitter, but his body of work just can't compare.

I think his work is vastly superior and that he was kept squashed by the ego of John who had to be out front and take credit for everything.

George is definitely my man. My Sweet Lord is seminal.

such fools posting on this thread!

Sorry, I agree with many of the other posters. George is my favorite.

+1.

George for me, with All Things Must Pass. It's just a masterpiece.

Sorry, George is the best. And if you forgo him for the more well-known/popular other beatles... well, you just have bad taste!

George is awesome, but anyone that ranks him at the top is simply a crowd following 'anti-consensus' retro-hipster wannabe. No real music person considers him in the same league as Paul and John. DCUM at its finest.

Disagree. Also the question was about how was the favorite Beatle, it wasn't "are you a real music person" WTF is that anyway, a sad boy who lives in his parents basement listening to vinyl?

They broke up before I was born, but that doesn't mean I didn't grow up listening to them in my parents house and having a preference for GEORGE over all the others (though I have to admit, Ringo is very funny).

Nope! Sorry you can't appreciate George's spectacular music.

it may be a smaller selection, but it's head and tails above anything John or Paul did.

Besides, the consensus here seems to be George.... wouldn't that make you the contrarian hipster wannabe?
