Who was your favorite Beatle?

[maveric]

I'm sure this poll has been posted many times, but I'm smokin, drinkin and listening to George Harrison. In a Beatle kind a mood.
Harrison was my favorite. A mysterious background figure that had more natural musical talent than the other three. He was also the best musician of the band.

5. Paul. For that timeless Christmas ditty.

Can't get enough of it.

Other than that, the Beatles were shite. Couldn't even spell their own friggin' name.

[maveric]

6. OMG, this is turning out worse than I thought!

[CanuckAmok]

They RULED on Ol' Brown Shoe.

11. Albert Goldman

"And now, ladies and gentleman, it's time for our next act. Please give them a big Cavern welcome: John, Paul, George, Albert Goldman and Ringo, the five Beatles! "


For those who don't know, there was an SNL sketch years back about Albert Goldman and his book, The Lives of John Lennon. The sketch involved him claming to be the fifth Beatle, and he hated John because John had to be the one to tell Albert he was out of the group.

12. I was just about ready to deploy this:

I saw that thing years ago, as a clip on some year-end wrap-up....brilliant!

Goldswine was utter scum. May he not rest in peace.

14. One of my favorite exchanges from that sketch

was when they asked Ringo his input, he answered, "I'm just happy to be here". They asked him again, he said the same thing. But then after being prompted again he stated, again, that he was happy to be there, and then went into his opinion. Then Paul cut him off with, "That's enough, Ringo"

[ForrestGump]

15. "Come on, let's go get some health food"

"I'll get you!!!!!"


Man, I hated Goldslime...

What a supercilious, hipper-than-thou wannabe-drug-lord f***wit he was.

17. MIZurray the KIZay of course!

and wasn't it a marketing miracle when Astrid Kirchner convinced the lads to give up the stingy-brim hats and v-neck cardigans for the leather and long hair?

In reality, in the long term I would have to go with George, with Ringo coming in a close second. Paulie just kind of barfs me out these days, though I still enjoy watching him play. And as for John, I think had he lived, he would have dumped Yoko at some point. I just don't like her. Her involvement in the recent flop Lennon play, the idiotic jewelry line, and the upcoming action figure, just turns me off.

I went to see Ringo's All-Starr Band several years ago, when he had Dave Edmunds and Jack Bruce in the lineup. I enjoyed that show almost as much as when I saw the actual real Beatles in 1966. (The only downer was Eric Carmen also in the lineup.)
