Ringo is a pretty average drummer, but by all accounts a pretty nice and likable guy.Ringo is average, but oddly, he is perhaps the person most responsible for the Beatles' music's uniqueness. The drum beat for rock music of that era was generally loose -- had a bit of a lag -- which carried over from its R&B roots. That's what gave it a feeling of hipness. Ringo's drumming was more incessant. He played a more European beat. That gave their music more energy and that was their signature style.

"and that Lennon was a complete jerk."
And commie.
And self centered weirdo. Total wingnut.
Oh, and musical genius.

Ringo is a pretty average drummer, but by all accounts a pretty nice and likable guy. I can't remember which Beatle said it, but he basically said that Ringo was the second best drummer in the Beatles, next to Paul. Paul did the drums on "The Ballad of John and Yoko", and he played all the instruments on his first solo album "McCartney", the one with "Maybe I'm Amazed."

I remember for MONTHS hearing “Beatles One” after it came out. The kids played it at the coffee counter at the Blue Wall every darn day. One afternoon I asked the young girl serving me iced coffee when she was born. She told me a date long after the band broke up — but those kids LOVED the Beatles...
