much prefer john's approach and attitude and voice but i think clearly paul was technically better at his instrument and composition/arrangement. george's early guitar solos are perfect and to the point. george always surprises me on those early recordings...his solo stuff does nothing for me

i also think ringo is one of the best, most stylish and grooving drummers ever, much like charlie watts but more interesting

as for the early beatles, i think they are incredible even with pete best. in the hamburg days they were a tight, raw rock and roll band, especially for their age. im an obsessed beatles fan and much prefer their early stuff to the older stuff...from the white album on, i dont care much for it
