Why We Love The Beatles (v2) 65 of 100: Lovable

You couldn't get a more lovable group of lads. In the early days, anyone, boy or girl, could quickly attach themselves to the one they preferred and in later years could associate with the appropriate boy + philosophy: Paul-love Life, love people; John-Life's a mess, man; Ringo-the money's great. And George. George was the spiritual one. Always the most introvert in a surprisingly introvert band, he found the demands on his time and lack of privacy most intrusive. He was the one who got most from India and made it a way of life rather than just another adventure, fully integrating the thinking into his vocations as gardener, meditator and into his music. He became highly proficient on the sitar and influenced so many of the lovely tracks which take us down and inwards and get us reflecting.

That's another reason we love The Beatles
