I love his work after the Beatles split up. I've always called him both a Poet & a Prophet. And I was glad when he & Yoko 'found' each other. I mourned when he was murdered.

(8,699 posts)I always thought his work with the Beatles was good and I've always thought his post-Beatles music was just as good, if not better.

(70,318 posts)The most versatile player & he saw (along with George Martin) the big picture musically.
He gets ridiculously slagged for "silly love songs" but he did some profoundly deep stiff.
George was the best guitar player, but Paul was pretty good too.
I like his voice the best as well.
All that said, 2 of my 10 favorite Beatles songs were written & sung by George.

(37,435 posts)Just on the strength of "Let It Be"; far and away one of my favorite songs ever.

Like your fun posts debm55! George?!! Well that is an unexpected pick
I always thought he was just in the mix to round out the group!
Kidding ! I know he wrote one song I like, but I cant remember which one it was.
