I've read in more than one account that John was a misogynist. And yet, he wrote my favorite song, Imagine. George was my favorite. He was a peacemaker. I don't believe he ever caused any friction in the group.
Imagine was written by John and Yoko, not just John. She now has songwriting credit for it as of 2017.
I'm not sure what year this interview is from, but John says of "Imagine::
LENNON: Actually, that should be credited as a Lennon-Ono song because a lot of the lyric and the concept came from Yoko. But those days I was a bit more selfish, bit more macho, and I sort of omitted to mention her contribution.
I think that Ringo was the peacemaker in the group and the other 3 caused some friction, though most likely John and Paul far more than George. It had to be incredibly stressful to be a Beatle, though. Young men in an abnormal life due to their fame and the expectations on them.
