Rest in Peace George Harrison and John Lennon

George died from cancer and John was murdered. Johns Lennon was killed by another man named Mark David Chapman who is still currently in prison as of 2024.

Each voice was very distinctive on their own, and the blending was really unique at the time. John had one of the best groveling, rock n' roll voices ever, while Paul's high parts were difficult yet smooth. George fit right in the middle and could go high or low as needed, though his vocals were a bit more restrained. It's tough to pick a favorite because they were so great together but each had their strengths.

I like Paul McCartney more but that's primarily due to his post-Beatles work.
He had many hits on his own and in Wings.

Within the Beatles, songs sung by each member as lead singer were good and were often hits.

( Paul McCartney and ) Wings was a really good band and for much of the 1970s, they had hit after hit.

Before Disco would become dominant, not a year would go by with McCartney / Wings having a significant hit.

The first CD that I ever purchased (around 1986 give or take a year) was "Wings' Greatest Hits" although, sadly, some hits were left off and others didn't belong there.

Like, Really? "Mull of Kintyre"? What the fuck is that? Yet, "Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five" was left off.

Here are "Band on the Run" and "Nineteen Hundred and Eight-Five", the first and last track's of their 1973 album "Band on the Run" released the same year they did the theme to the James Bond movie "Live and Let Die".

We miss you, Count Dooku and Major French!

My three favorite (U. S. spelling) songs by the Beatles are "Here Comes the Sun" "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "Something" so my favorite singer of the lot is George. And my favorite of all of their solo stuff is George's "What Is Life?"

[DJB72]

McCartney is good but I think Harrison was underrated. Consider his solo career and the Travelling Wilburys working with Orbison, Petty Dylan and Lynne.

I've never been a fan of 'The Beatles'. I guess you have to be over a certain age, of a certain generation, to like their music.

[DrPepper12]

Not true! Their timeless! I hope...

[KostasKouvalis]

They have some good tunes, but I'm with Siri. Beatles are overrated and overhyped

[Siri137]

@DrPepper12 THEY'RE timeless, you mean. LOL. You "hope". You do? Why? Either they will be or they won't be. Either way, things will turn out the way they're meant to. :)

[DrPepper12]

I'm not gonna be here four generations from now so I hope! Agreed with it will turn out the ways it's meant to!

[TommyMountainFigure]

None of them have (had) a particularly good voice, but they wrote some VERY catchy songs, and had charisma! That's probably the best way I can describe them!

[Lliam]

McCartney always had the best voice and the greatest vocal range.

[Amy10223]

I loved George and the songs he wrote. They all had great voices except in my opinion Ringo, but George had more talent, in my opinion.

[handsomelad70]

Ringo's my favourite Beatle. GREAT drummer, underrated singer, boyish and a bit goofy, plus his birthday's the day after mine. (And his wife is former Bond babe Barbara Bach.)

[AviatorTom]

Sir Paul McCartney. A composer as well as a singer.

[Dargil]

Richard Starkey. He had always been Working Class. Billy Shears is OK too.

[CrabCakes11]

John Lennon was a communist, therefore my favorite of the bunch

[FunkyMonkee]

John and George.
Chapman was a Montauk boy. He killed John because he was "ordered" to, most likely by someone in government.

[exitseven]

Paul McCartney was the best musical talent but I always thought Ringo was underrated.

[Nikki1989]

None. I never thought any of them were great as solo artists, but I listen to Wings with McCartney more than any of the others.

[loveslongnails]

Not sure how much you've listened to their solo stuff? Individually, John and George have releases that are highly acclaimed and considered iconic, while Paul released many great singles as a solo artist and some iconic songs with Wings. I remember being told " Son, never date a girl who thinks McCartney's first band was Wings -- she's either too young or too uniformed". LOL

[AngryCarl]

I can't remember Ringo singing, but probably Ringo. He seems like a guy I could sit down and enjoy a beer with.

What goes on?
I get by with a little help from my friends.

It's a shame that Joe Cocker Spaniel's cover version has become more popular since being the theme to "The Wonder Years" on ABC.

[AngryCarl]

@DrPepper12 I knew Ringo wouldn't let me down!

[KostasKouvalis]

I have to go with Paul, simply because their best songs were written by Paul

[Anonymous]

I don’t think I have heard much or any of their music. Maybe because I was born in the late 90s.

[Caroline91]

All Things Must Pass album is timeless.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Paul McCartney

[Xia1994]
