No Longer Living In The Material World
Believe it or not, George Harrison has now been dead for exactly ten years. He was my fourth-favorite Beatle, which means I like him more than almost any other rock star.
Listening to his solo stuff, John and Paul were probably right to limit him to a cut or two per album. But there's no denying he wrote some beautiful music.

After Ringo?
OK as a 10 year old kid, Ringo was my favorite because he was the silliest and most recognizable, but much as I enjoy The Octopus's Garden and Don't Pass Me By (and the deeper voice, It Don't Come Easy, Ognir Rrats and Thomas the Uber-Capitalist Tank Engine), I always thought of him as more comic relief (maybe thats why you ranked him higher?)
Barbara Bach and the Caveman movie were cool too
Who's my favorite Beatle is only partly based on talent. How can I prefer dour, preachy George over fun-loving Ringo? And while George may be a better singer, especially for harmony, Ringo's voice has a certain charm that seems beyond Harrison.
