Who were the Beatles main song writers?

Answer 1

Lennon/ McCartney wrote most of The Beatles songs, though Starr did write 1 of the most well known ones, Octopuses Garden. Lennon and McCartney had a handshake agreement going back to their earliest days that all songs either of them wrote for the band would carry the authorship of "Lennon/McCartney". In the bands earlier days - up until the time they really "hit it big" - many (not all) of their songs were genuine collaborative efforts. "She Loves You" is a typical example. But from that point on, it is more accurate to say that one or the other wrote the song, with the one who didn't being a "consultant". To be fair, Lennon wrote the lion's share of the groups big hits, but when McCartney wrote a winner, he really wrote a winner ("Michelle", "Yesterday", "And I Love Her", "Hey Jude".) Another good example of a collaborative effort is "We Can Work it Out". The main chorus "Try to see it my way . . . " is McCartney. The counterpoint view in the bridge ("Life is very short . . . ") is Lennon.

Answer 2

John Lennon

EDIT: They all wrote the songs, but you'll have to look at individual songs to know because there are hundreds. John and Paul wrote most of them, always credited to Lennon/McCartney no matter which one wrote it, George wrote 22 (just counted in my head) and Ringo wrote 2. A few songs, (e.g. Flying, Dig It) were credited to all four, and What Goes On was credited to Lennon/McCartney/Starkey.

Answer 3

With pens and pencils. They wrote most of their songs, and after Help!, they wrote all the songs on the rest of their albums

John Lennon was considered the strongest lyricist among the Beatles, but all of them wrote notable and memorable lyrics, and traded ideas for songs.
