    I guess Paul and Ringo would have to be my favorites just becuase they seem pretty cool and nice (didn't know much about George and I don't like John) and being on the Simpson's can never hurt my perception of you.

    Favorite song I guess would be "Let It Be" and then since I'm more a fan of the earlier stuff "Twist and Shout" and "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" (f4p hopes those are from their earlier stuff).

    Several songs fit the bill for me including:

    She Loves You
    Please Please Me
    We Can Work It Out
    A Day in the Life
    Hello Goodbye
    Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
    Twist and Shout

    The one Beatles song that I despise is The Ballad of John and Yoko...God, I hated that song.

    I'm sure Ringo was a lot of people's favorite beatle until he sang on Sgt. Pepper...

    As for George, ya gotta love that solo career...inspired one of Weird Al's best (as well as most underrated) parodies...

    <i>This song is just six words long
    This song is just six words long
    This song is just six words long
    This song is just six words long

    Couldn't think of any lyrics
    No I never wrote the lyrics
    So I'll just sing any old lyrics
    That come to mind, child

    You really need woooooords
    A whole lot of rhymin' words
    You gotta write so many words (hmmmmm...)
    To do it
    To do it
    To do it
    To do it
    To do it
    To do it right, child

    This song is just six words long
    This song is just six words long
    This song is just six words long
    This song is just six words long

    I know that you're probably sore
    Cuz I didn't write any more
    I just didn't get to complete it
    So that's why I gotta repeat it

    This song is just six words long (six words long)
    This song is just six words long (six words long)

    Oh I make a lot of money
    They're paying me a ton of money
    They're paying me plenty of money
    To sing this song, child

    I gotta fill tiiiiiime
    Three minutes worth of time
    Oh how do I fill so much time (hmmm)
    I throw in a solo
    a solo
    a solo
    a solo
    a solo here.....

    (jammin' sax solo)

    This song is just six words long
    This song is just six words long
    This song is just six words long
    This song is just six words long

    This song's got nothing to say
    But I'm recording it anyway
    I know if I put my mind to it
    I know I could find a good rhyme here

    Oh you gotta have music
    You need really catchy music
    This song has got plenty of music
    But just six words, child
    So I'll sing 'em ooooooover
    and over and over and over
    and over and over and over (hmmmm...)
    and over
    and over
    and over
    and over
    and over
    and over again

    six words long
    six words long
    six words long....(repeat until you're brain is fried...)</i>

    Not to be insincere or anything, but that's a pretty astute synopsis of that song...

    RIP George...

    Norwegian Wood is not just my favorite Beatles song, it's probably my favorite song period.

    'Let It Be' is pretty much the only Beatles song that I like. I don't have a favorite member of the group.
