Thought experiment. George was the greatest Beatle.

[Dennis Donovan]

I find my playlists in 2019 are heavy on George's solo works.

"Imagine" and "Jet" are awesome rock tunes. But what about...

I miss him...

[spooky3]

1. I always liked this bouncy number:

[Captain Zero]

4. I always thought that one showed heavy influence of

Roy Orbison on him, just has some RO vibe to it.

31. you might like the original recording from the early 60s:

29. I really hate that

[Guilded Lilly]

2. The greatness of the Beatles was that together they were all total magic...

A once in a lifetime happening.
All great
All irreplaceable
(I miss him horribly, too!)

[dchill]

3. I miss him, too.

A truly great songwriter.

[Fragment]

5. My favorites are

While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Something.

[TeamPooka]

6. I was thinking about this recently and I think it's Ringo.

I also think he will be the Last Beatle standing

[brush]

10. Could be. The group didn't reach it's potential until he replaced Pete Best.

[CTyankee]

15. I something the matter with Paul? OMG!

[SCantiGOP]

18. Paul is doing fine

ever since he died in the late 60s.

[Skittles]

26. he looks great

Ringo got better looking as he aged.

[Demobrat]

7. Oh yes. Dark horse, indeed.

IMO he was the best solo artist of the four.
When we was fab ...

[safeinOhio]

8. UNDECIDED

I like all of them.

[pecosbob]

9. They are all part of me (or I wish they were)

John is the revolutionary in me
Paul is the lover I always wanted to be
George is the Tao
Ringo is the light in the face of a child

[lastlib]

20. Well-put! I share your POV!

John had the vision;
Paul had the work ethic;
George had the talent;
Ringo had the rhythm.

11. Cold water

Frankly,

I never remotely liked the Beetles because...

They seemed like a boy band for teenagers... I want to hold your hand
Hey Jude by cigarette lighters in football stadiums is stupidly precious and meaningless.
Yellow Submarine kiddie time
LSD wow clever
Sarge Pepper kiddie camp

[Archae]

12. Enjoy your stay...

[Floyd R. Turbo]

17. "Beetles"! Ha! Your knowledge is beyond impressive! ✌🏻

[Iggo]

19. I don't like it, therefore it sucks!

Oh and: Off with their heads!

[malthaussen]

24. Right. Everybody knows it's "Beatals."

(That was Stu Suttcliffe's preferred spelling, and he invented the name, after all)

[TomSlick]

21. Yeah, my dad didn't like them either.

He loved Lawrence Welk but he hated the Beatles.

He really liked this:

[ProfessorGAC]

22. Oh So Hip.

Or is that "Hipper Than Thou"?
Also, blindingly ignorant of rock music.

[marble falls]

25. Curious, what is your favorite musical group?

[Skittles]

27. LOLOLOL

as long as I live I will always dismiss the people who cannot see why the Beatles were such a big deal

[Doc_Technical]

13. George

[smirkymonkey]

14. George is my favorite as well.

"What is Life", "My Sweet Lord", "Something", "Here Comes the Sun"...etc.

He was also my favorite on a personal level.

[yardwork]

16. Here Comes the Sun.

[malthaussen]

23. An opinion not without merit...

... but I don't see how it qualifies as a "thought experiment."

-- Mal

[LakeArenal]

28. Which of your children are the best...?

Really? Geez.

What I liked as an eleven year old girl and what I realize now?

[musicman65]

30. Having been a fan

since 1964 they were all great in their own right
without picking a favourite we could say Paul now standing has the most talent
and just keeps on going with 3 hour shows,,,amazing
