TOTALLY AGREE~
With regards to the Fab Four and their solo discographies this is how I rank them...
I listen to George Harrison's the most. Its the most diverse with attention to detail and musicianship.
Next, is Ringo Starr's. I got hipped to it after seeing one of his All-Starr Band concerts. Their is a lot of depth to them that goes unnoticed by the world. It's a shame too. There are a LOT of great songs that you've never heard there.
Then John Lennon. It's like an acid dripped alcohol fueled anger ridden voyage into the ravages of his artistry. When it's good it's damned good. When it's awful...well everyone knows awful. It's like stepping in dog crap. You know it when you did it! There are some songs that you NEVER EVER want to EVER hear again!
Finally Paul McCartney. Silly Love Songs. That song really defines him and his entire body of solo work. He needed the other 3 ESPECIALLY John for writing material that sticks. I find his work to be poppy for a man of his caliber and demeaning but that's what he chose to do with his work.
