George Harrison or Paul McCartney. Then Ringo. Not sure why, but John Lennon's the one I like the least.

It's really hard to choose for me.
John, probably, for his wit and abilities. Behind his rough exterior was such talent. He had a way with the lyrics.

Paul, as well, because of his charm and his keen sense of melody.

So, it doesn't get much better with the two of them combined.

Among the four - John Lennon.

Through their entire history - Stu. He could not play, but he could paint, and he was a catalyst for much of what happened to them, especially John. They could have been just another visiting band in the Hamburg club circuit, but Stu's art ambitions led them to meet more interesting people and his style did spark something special.

Woah woah woah. Switch them round and then I agree. John wasn't a bad rythm guitarist in any stretch of the imagination.

Neither was Ringo a bad drummer by any stretch of the imagination. I don't know why thinking Ringo was a better instrumentalist should be taken as an insult, Ringo was a very damn good drummer. I never said Lennon wasn't a great rhythm guitarist.

Chalk and cheese really.. Comparing the guitar skills of one with the drum skills of another. They were both similar, keep things simple and keep the rythm.
