Out of the 4 I think George Harrison developed his craft much more than the others.

All Things Must Past
Darkhorse. My favorite of his records.
Simply Shady
Blow away
Give Me Love
So many more songs that still hold up today.

George was my personal favorite Beatle and his All Things Must Pass/Living in the Material World albums are both great. ATMP was damn near as good as anything the Beatles released.

But Paul has had the best overall career due to longevity.

I mean there’s zero debate it’s Paul.

You can like Harrison better but Paul most certainly has had the better career

Ringo was Mr. Conductor on "Thomas the Train" back in the day.

I wasn't really talking about charting or sales. I was more talking about artistic development or songwriting development.

Agreed, The Beatles and most of their post careers were before my time but I keep hearing songs from Paul that I like and never even knew existed. I'm guessing (?) Paul has also collaborated with a lot of musicians but not always received credit for the songs.

I heard an interview recently and Paul was asked why he played bass for The Beatles. It was because nobody else wanted to play it. He also plays several other instruments and known as a great songwriter. He obviously has an ego but I think his ability to just fit in with others (with bigger egos) is an underrated quality.

Paul by a mile but he was the biggest douche by a mile too. I liked Ringo; he didn't seem to take shite too serious

My three favorite albums after the Beatles are All Things Must Pass, Plastic Ono Band, and Wings Over America. All Things Must Pass is Numero Uno by a long shot, though.

George made the best post-Beatles music. Best post-Beatles career? Easily Paul.

Was Paul, John, or George in the movie Caveman? That's what I thought.


Ringo is the only answer.
