which of the beatles solo career cds?

KyleEpps	Date: November 22, 2005 @ 2:43 PM Hey I'm a huge fan of the Beatles if you haven't noticed yet lol. I have just about all of their music on record. Including the singles and all that. What I didn't have on record I bought on cd about a year ago. This included Abbey Road, Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, Revolver, and the White Album. For Christmas I'm going to get the remaining Beatles cds with the money I get or money I've earned from teaching guitar. I've also become a huge fan of Lennon's solo work after purchasing the "Working Class Hero" cd. After listening to this cd and hearing some of Paul Mccartney's solo work on Amazon I've decided I'd like to buy one solo effort from each of the Beatles. I'd like to hear your opinions on which cd I should get from each if you have heard any of them. And also while I'm at it, how about what's your favorite Beatles album and song. And also what is your favorite song by each Beatle. I'll start off by saying my favorite Beatles album is Sgt. Peppers b/c and off the top of my head my fave song by Mccartney is "Here there and everywhere" by Lennon is "Eight Days a Week" or "Happiness is a Warm Gun" or even "A day in the life"( i love lennon's work) by Harrison is "While My Guitar Gently Weeps(even though the solo is done by Eric Clapton on cd) and for Ringo it's "With a little help from my friends"(though it was written by Lennon-Mccartney.) K well I'v e just written a huge thing on the Beatles and I dont' know if you actually read all this. Sorry about the length guys and please help me. Thanks. -Kyle
tooles	Date: November 22, 2005 @ 5:37 PM My fave from Lennon's Beatle days is Tomorrow Never Knows from Revolver. Working Class Hero probably is the best representation of his work, I couldn't recommend any specific album. My fave Paul tune from the Beatles is Eleanor Rigby, narrowly beating out Hey Jude. As far as post-Beatle stuff is concerned, I'd do the same as with Lennon and buy a compilation...Wings had some good songs but not lots and lots. I agree that WMGGW is George's best Beatles song. Have you heard his acoustic demos from the Anthology CDs? Very cool stuff. Post-Beatles, I would recommend All Things Must Pass. I would also say to try the Concert for Bangladesh album if you can find it. Ringo...well, I'm not a huge Ringo fan. I agree with With A Little Help From My Friends as his best performance. I guess his best writing was probably Octopus's Garden. I have no idea what he's done since 1970.
zedsalt	Date: November 23, 2005 @ 11:41 AM Harrison's "Somewhere in England" and "33 1/3" are both great. The Ringo album with "The No No Song" is killer (odd that I can't recall the title, considering how many times I've listened to it).

PrincessTast...	Date: November 23, 2005 @ 5:16 PM they just rereleased the bangladesh concert, so that should be easier to find
Bhairava	Date: November 23, 2005 @ 7:17 PM Best album hmm. Revolver I think is very good, shortly followed by Rubber soul I think. I don't know who wrote what songs it seems kind of ambiguos sometimes but some fav songs... I want to tell you Dear Prudence In My Life Tomorrow Never Knows Here Comes The Sun A Day in the Life Tell me who wrote those and I guess I might find which one I like more out of Lennon and MCartney.
tooles	Date: November 23, 2005 @ 7:33 PM Here Comes the Sun is a Harrisong...I don't know about I Want to Tell You, but the rest are all chiefly Lennon (McCartney did write the bit in the middle of A Day in the Life where he sings and plays piano).
Bhairava	Date: November 23, 2005 @ 7:36 PM Cool, thanks. Well I guess I'm a Lennon fan.
KyleEpps	Date: November 23, 2005 @ 8:38 PM yeay to lennon fans!
BOWILLIE	Date: November 23, 2005 @ 10:02 PM would say..best in my opinion.. sgt. pepper/white album/abbey road.. mcart...band on the run/ wings over america.. ringo solo..it dont comes easy.. harrison//traveling wilburys. lennon..single..whatever gets you thru the night(elton john) fame..(bowie)
tooles	Date: November 24, 2005 @ 2:01 AM Yeah Traveling Wilburys! I grew up on the Headstones' version of Tweeter and the Monkey Man...a coupla months ago I found the Wilburys' version. I couldn't believe it was a Dylan song. Cool stuff, but I think I'm still glad they went their seperate ways.
