Favorite solo Beatles songs

[David1961]

I know there are many Beatles fans here. What is your favorite song by each Beatle after their breakup:
Here are mine as of now. Might change next week.

John - Mind Games
Paul - Band On The Run
George - All Those Years Ago (great tribute to John)
Ringo - Wrack My Brain (written by George, I think)

 

[RunningBum]

John - Imagine, by a long shot. There's a longer list of his solo stuff I didn't like.
Paul - Band On the Run
George - Faster
Ringo - It Don't Come Easy, I guess

 

[Midpack]

John - Instant Karma! (Imagine is his best, I've just heard it too many times). John had more post Beatle songs I liked than all the rest put together by far. YMMV
Paul (not a big fan) - Maybe I'm Amazed
George - If Not For You (never knew if was Dylan's until just now!)
Ringo - if I have to choose any, toss up, You're Sixteen or Photograph

 

[Mulligan]

Some ties for me.
John - Stand By Me, Starting Over
Ringo- Photograph
George- All Those Years Ago, Crackerbox Palace
Paul- HI HI HI, 1985

 

[Lcountz]

I'm not sure if this was solo or when they were together....but "the Long and Winding Road" is one of my favorites, sung mainly by Paul.....

Sorry if this was pre-breakup.....

 

[chilkoot]

John - #9 Dream
Paul - Maybe I'm Amazed
George - Behind That Locked Door (Really, it would be Something, but that was pre-breakup)
Ringo - Photograph

 

[John Galt III]

John : so much great solo stuff : The Imagine Album.

Paul : some piano and voice stuff that was very nice, can't remember titles.

George : My Sweet Lord.

Ringo: Octopus's Garden in the Sea (pre breakup?)

 

[HFWR]

John - Imagine; runners up Instant Karma, Watching the Wheels
Paul - Jet, runners up BOTR, Live and Let Die
George - What is Life, runners up Crackerbox Palace, Handle With Care (Traveling Wilburys)
Ringo - Photograph, runners up No No song, Act Naturally (yeah, I know...)

 

[steelyman]

John - #9 Dream
Paul - My Brave Face
George - Awaiting On You All
Ringo - I'm The Greatest (written by John, which cracks me up)

I just got tickets to see Ringo this summer

 

[Mr. Paul]

I listened to Heart Of The Country from Ram last week for the first time in decades. What a great song.

 

[Mr. Paul]

I'm not sure if this was solo or when they were together....but "the Long and Winding Road" is one of my favorites, sung mainly by Paul.....

Sorry if this was pre-breakup.....

Not only was it pre breakup but the entire Let it Be record was recorded before Abbey Road. The boys didn't want to go out that way and came back into the studio to record their final masterpiece. Let it Be was held for release until after Abbey Road.

 

[Tortoise]

John - Imagine
Paul - Bluebird
George - Got My Mind Set On You
Ringo - Photograph

 

[bjorn2bwild]

Popular/overplayed songs and very repetitive lyrics rarely make it into my playlist.
I don't have anything by John or Ringo.

Paul - Take it Away (a little too popular but I still like it)

George - I really Love You (I put this in my oldies collection)

 

[robnplunder]

George - Cloud 9
Ringo - No No Song
Lennon - Imagine
Paul - Too many to mention or single out one song

 

[stepford]

John: Working Class Hero, Cold Turkey (tie)
Paul: Another Day, Mamunia
George: Beware of Darkness, Dark Horse
Ringo: It Don't Come Easy (already cited by another poster, but worth mentioning again)

 

[Gumby]

John: Imagine & Mind Games
Paul: My Love & Maybe I'm Amazed
George: My Sweet Lord & Give Me Love
Ringo: It Don't Come Easy & Photograph

 

[steelyman]

I've posted this before, but it didn't have the intro. Sue me! It's not solo but I think it rocks

I've been boning up on my Ringo (I do that if I know I'm going to see a show).

Let me say (between you and me) his first solo effort "Ringo" is right up there with the other three guys. It's even got a tune with Harrison and The Band! Yay!!!

 

[steelyman]

I just saw a documentary that had been sitting on my DVR for a while, called "The Trials of Muhammad Ali". It's very well done.

It had never occurred to me that "I'm The Greatest!" is an Ali line, but I remembered that Miami shot of The Beatles and Ali. Apparently Lennon and Ringo didn't forget!

I just got tickets to see Ringo this summer

My son and I saw RS and his AllStarr band a few years ago. He had Gary Wright, Edgar Winter, Colin Haye (Men At Work), and Billy Squier with him. Very entertaining show, all were solid performers and did a great job covering each other's music. Wnjoy!

 

[ajs56]

I know I'm late to the party, but...

It's not easy to pick just one, they are all such talents:
John - Imagine
Paul - Maybe I'm Amazed
Ringo - It Don't Come Easy
George - My Sweet Lord

 

[Daniel J]

So many good ones to choose from. I always thought "Silly Love Songs" by Paul was one of the best. Great tune with one of the most inventive pop baselines ever.

 

[ajs56]

Can't argue with that bass line Daniel!

 

[Mr._Graybeard]

A couple more worth mentioning (I think) --

Paul -- Junior's Farm

John -- Nobody Told Me
