Poll question: Best Beatle non-Beatles Band

1. The Beatles = Synergy

Sadly, the magic was within the Fab 4, but it couldn't be replicated by any single part of the whole.

Love Lennon, though.

2. Can I have my vote back?

I went too quickly; wanted to vote for Ringo because I loved that song...

5. I voted for Ringo for you as thanks for posting the link to youtube...

I have always loved that song. One of the comments said, "George is playing lead with members from Badfinger singing background." I didn't know those two facts. By the way, my favorite post-Beatles Beatles song is "Mull of Kintyre" by Paul McCartney and Wings.

11. It's funny you mentioned that song.

I sometimes go to the library to check out a shipload of CDs so I can download whatever looks good. I checked out Wings' "Londontown" on a whim and saw that song ... Never heard of it until today.

3. Wilburys - some of the greatest lyrics ever, very interesting music

- it was all done by some of the best songwriters of the late 20th century.

4. The Dirty Mac

Yeah, they were only a "band" for about 5 minutes, but that 5 minutes kills anything Wings ever did.

6. Interesting results...

I personally have no love lost for Wings but I would have expected them to have taken a strong lead (followed by Plastic Ono Band).

7. Oasis

[KamaAina]

8. Badfinger

no actual Beatles, but they were supposed to be the next thing.

Paul (him you know) even backed them -- then stiffed them, following which frontman Peter Ham killed himself. :cry:

9. Oh man, I didn't know that!

10. Ringo

Actually the Willburys, but Ringo is my favourite surviving Beatle, so he got my vote.

12. Who are the Beatles?

[Iggo]

13. Shoulda been the Wilburys.

But the correct answer is Wings.
