....No you're not, Lux....
My next door neighbor is 16 and she's a big Beatle fan, thanks to her parents.
My favorite Beatle is John Lennon. But I like his "fat Elvis" period the best, ( '65 through early '66). My mom likes 1964. (However, the solo work both you and Carne Vaca mentioned is exceptional.) Lennon has ("has" in the present tense) one of the best rock 'n roll voices, and is a gifted songwriter.
Buckingham is a totally different vocalist, but I love his voice, as well. (Happy to see you had a great "close encounter" with him!) I don't like McCartney's. It's just too weak, IMO.
I know Buckingham credits Lennon's first solo album as a big musical influence for him.......I think Yoko really whipped Lennon into submission, though.... His best solo work, IMO, was when he was with May Pang -- His lost weekend...... He was freeeee then.
