Just so I don't forget to reply to this (and so you don't feel as if you are
the only person who has ever felt this), I interject a big "Me, too!"
Back in the day, as all this was still happening, I always felt that George
quickly became the *least* interesting Beatle, because he (as I experienced him
through his music) became the most dogmatic and the most compelled to think
other people's ideas.
Paul became the second-most boring because he started pandering not only to
other people's ideas, but to the lowest common denominator of other people's
ideas. Without ever introducing any significant ideas of his own into the mix.
Ringo was always a "sleeper agent" of a rock star, and so although his music
didn't always reflect it, he seemed to have had a grand old time for a few
years there in L.A. trying to drink himself to death along with his buddy Harry
Nilsson and John. Harry succeeded. Ringo -- to his credit -- did not, and
continued to be somewhat interesting.
The most interesting Beatle after the breakup was the most interesting Beatle
before the breakup. John was the superstar ("How right you are!"), and remained
the superstar after the group disbanded. I sometimes wonder what kind of music
he'd be making today if he'd lived.

Haven't heard that one for a while - thanks.
Is it just me or does any one else think that after Harrison took up with
Indian ways - and after the Beatles' break-up and him producing his solo albums
- his music did come across as a bit - what's the word? - a bit of a downer?
He's supposed to have found God so shouldn't his songs be all light and joy?
(OK - My Sweet Lord is one of a kind.) But I prefer the old (ie, young)
unregenerate George when he was irreverent.
