mjpuczko Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 as much as i love george harrison, i only really like 'all things must pass'. i love lennon's solo stuff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caliber66 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 as much as i love george harrison, i only really like 'all things must pass'. i love lennon's solo stuff I was going to post that it's George, hands down, if only because of ATMP. Like a lot of the other guys' stuff, some quite a lot (even Ringo ), but nothing beats George for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mjpuczko Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 ha! i just love so many lennon-solo songs. there are quite a few clunkers on his solo albums but the good far outweighs the bad imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MattZ Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I would love to say George too, but I cannot. As much as I like ATMP, George just never wrote songs like Jealous Guy, Watching the Wheels, Instant Karma, Imagine, Mother, etc. It's really not even close. The correct answer is John.

Nowhereman65 Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 Pete Best dcd meh..... I opted for the more obscure beatle drummer, though it really doesn't make a difference..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 The correct answer is John. fa Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattZ Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Come on cryptique. You should know my sarcasm better by now. I expect more from you. I did the same thing in the other Beatles poll. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rockinrob Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 The correct answer is john, with george close behind. Lennon had some absolutely classic tunes in his solo career, but george has put out the best records, from ATMP to Brainwashed, and you cant forget that he was in the travelling willburys. Handle with Care is awesome. But he had a lot more time than lennnon, so I think that makes it a bit unfair to lennon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

boywiththorninside Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I don't like much after 1971. For me, it's a tie between John and George. All Things Must Pass, Plastic Ono Band, and Imagine are all great and I couldn't distinguish a favorite among them. Thus, the tie. I like McCartney and Ram, but not as much as the George and John albums I've mentioned. After 1971, it gets spotty. There are only some songs here and there that I like, and these songs are mainly by Paul. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I reluctantly give the nod to George. All Things Must Pass is simply sublime. But so is Imagine and Band on the Run. George gets the nod because he guided Ringo's best solo work (It don't come easy, Photograph) and produced Badfinger's best record. PLUS...George had a very successful and impressive career as a movie mogul of sorts. PLUS PLUS...The Concert for Bangeladesh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I voted George, even though I probably like more Paul solo songs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OOO Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 And the jailer man, and sailor sam we're searching everyone...for the BAND ON THE RUN! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied lightning Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 PAUL ! George is a close second. I like ATMP more than anyone's solo records. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I know it doesn't reach the heights of Plastic Ono or All Things but I've always thought Flaming Pie was a damn good record. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 George! All Things Must Pass! Brainwashed! Cloud 9! No contest, folks! John had some good stuff too. Well, they all did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 How can you not vote for George! He has a song called "Thanks for the Pepperoni!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sid Hartha Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Not really a big fan of any of their solo careers, but... Lennon's was the best, for about two years - then it fades quickly. Overall, Paul's delivers the most - which isn't saying much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 George is cool and all and his tunes are decent enough (yeah, ATMP is pretty damn good but I prefer Thirty Three and 1/3 as my favorite) his voice is just too sad for me a lot of the time. John Lennon wrote some great solo stuff as well but I ;ve always thought of him as a phony pompous asshole, so there's that. Plus the Yoko crap grates my nerves. I side with Paul as his solo/Wings stuff is the stuff I can relate to best. It's fun music. Mostly happy shit. It's rockin' tunes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Littlebear Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 True, John made only two good albums - especially Plastic Ono Band (which to me is a real work of art). But I would exchange them with the entire Paul's body of work. Because what I appreciate beyond the quality of the music, is the power of expression. Sometime with John it's too nude, raw, not tuneful enough, provocating, disturbing, etc... but it's valuable effort from a man speaking his heart out. With Paul, it's usually a guy having fun with music. Sometime brilliant, sometime not, usually cool. But that's it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
