Yeah, but if anyone, who is it? I say Esptein.

I choose George Martin. He seemed like he had the most (positive) influence on the band. Plus, he did an excellent job remastering the Beatles' catalog.

OK -- I get it. Sorry.

I vote for Martin. Of all the candidates, he had the biggest impact on the finished musical product. But Epstein deserves a lot of credit for pushing the bad to the top and keeping them there.

Yeah. Lennon himself said (or something similar) that Epstein's death was the begining of the end for The Beatles.

Yoko Ono was the inspiration behind a lot of their more experimental sounds, which appear on everyone's favorite albums.

At the Beatles' 1988 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, George Harrison at one point stated that there were only two "fifth Beatles": Derek Taylor and Neil Aspinall.

!(O_o)!
