Who was the most famous person in The Beatles?

Answer 1

Paul McCartney usually won the annual polls in the 1960s; John Lennon finally won late in their career.

They all had tremendous success. Paul has probably done more gigs, but to say which one was more famous is a matter of opinion. As their popularity grew, each one had their own group of fans that liked them personally, and screamed their names at the concerts. Ringo went on to act and record, and had his own band, as did John. George had a great solo career, and did benefit work for people, and invested in the entertainment business. One fact is known that "Yesterday" by Paul McCartney was covered more times than any record in history.

I'm not sure...! However, the untimely tragic death of John Lennon in 1980 - propelled major media interest and a new generation of fans for this former Beatle. Thus, it may be argued that since 1980 - John Lennon, has overtaken Paul McCartney in the popularity stakes.

"Liverpool Airport", was renamed "Liverpool John Lennon Airport" a few years ago in honour of its most famous son. Also, in terms of internet searches, Lennon is "Googled" more often than fellow Beatle, Mc Cartney.
Most would say John Lennon.

Answer 2

Each of The Beatles were musically accomplished in their own way.

Paul McCartney was the best all-around musician of the group, playing bass, guitar, keyboards and drums, and was the strongest with composing melodies and singing.

George Harrison was the best guitarist of the group, but played several other instruments and was also strong with melodies and lyrics. His singing voice improved over time.

John Lennon was the best lyricist, played rhythm and lead guitar, bass, keyboards and percussion, wrote memorable melodies, and sang well.

Ringo Starr's drumming was the perfect complement to rock and pop songs, and he also played percussion, piano and a few chords on guitar. His singing voice was described as "homely", but he sang with charm, and developed a talent for songwriting.

Johns' songs I believe were more inventive and had greater depth then Paul's. John also played harmonica.

Answer 3

Paul McCartney is the most popular member, but, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr are very popular as well. Almost nobody is interested in Pete Best and Stu Stucliff, the two other Beatles.

Answer 4

Paul McCartney was the most famous Beatle up until John Lennon's death in 1980, where he has since become the most popular Beatle and one of the most famous recording artists of all time.
