Has to be George Harrison for me. smile

Actually, I'm a bit perturbed at all the votes for George. I've always considered him mine. grin

I love them all!
John for his sharp wit, his songs, and for being a mystery.
Paul for his dedication and for being my first love at 13 years.
George for his spirituality.
Ringo for his cheeky sense of humour.

This interview is worth watching!
George and Ringo

None of them as a group George lived around the corner from my family in the early 60s. I preferred them as individual singers and writers. John was a fantastic writer and it was tragic when he was killed.

George!

Thanks Grandmafrench . I thought I'd seen everything about George but I missed that one.

Grandmafrench Thu 08-Apr-21 23:02:51

Think George is the outright winner here ? I'm going to revisit the Living in the Material World documentary which Martin Scorcese made and which I so enjoyed. Lots of wonderful scenes of the garden which George created in Friar Park, his home in Henley-on-Thames and which he would often work on through the night and so it was floodlit ! Think the film is on Netflix and can thoroughly recommend it to all fans.

John my favourite, then George. I never could see the attraction in Paul?

Lovely memories GrandmaFrench. George was my favourite to. Sadly missed.

My sweet George.

Kate1949 Thu 08-Apr-21 22:13:47

George. He was a big part of my life (sounds daft but he was). I've driven my family mad with George and The Beatles over the years. George chatted to me and a few other girls through a window once. I floated home.
As often mentioned, I have a photo of myself and a few others on stage with the Beatles. smile

None, Rolling Stones for me.

George - the eyes and the cheekbones!

John and only John. Still miss him.

Ladyleftfieldlover & Grandmafrench
Lovely stories ?

merlotgran Thu 08-Apr-21 21:23:46

Paul, followed closely by George.

grandmajet Thu 08-Apr-21 21:22:41

Cunning plan, Grandmafrench!

Grandmafrench Thu 08-Apr-21 21:19:53

George....always. I saw them play in 1963 in Somerset, just before they became really famous, and when you could still hear them. Got George to notice me, in the middle of the front row and in touching distance! I got a smile and a wink and a wave - my big plan to sit completely still actually worked.
Daft but happy teenager!

Grannybags Thu 08-Apr-21 21:08:53

Another Stones fan here but if I had to choose it would be George for me.

Pudding123 Thu 08-Apr-21 21:02:17

Paul made me go weak at the knees..

John.
