The Thinking Man's Beatle

George Harrison! Moustachioed, gaunt, and mystical. The thinking man's Beatle of choice. Never mind the snide, sarky, Lennon, the perma-grinning thumb-thrusting Macca, or Ringo the Arhythmic Drongo. Not only did George write what Frank Sinatra described as 'the greatest love song ever written' (Something, off the Abbey Road album), but he was also quite the polymath: he played 26 different instruments.

Admittedly, he was no Hendrix on the guitar, but that's probably because he'd rather dedicate his time to learning the Punjabi throat bassoon or something. Let's hear it for George!
