I don't know how someone controlled you

They bought and sold you.

Ooo, what a cool assortment of artists!
Yeah, I'm not fluent with The Beatles.

Kind of rough to be the "other' songwriter in that band. Mr Harrison did write some lovely ones, didn't he?

He certainly did. Though your point rather reminds me of John's remark when someone asked him if Ringo was the best drummer in the world:

'He's not even the best drummer in The Beatles!'

Such an absurd collection of talent...

I was re-watching the Harrison documentary on HBO yesterday.
A very unique man, and a very under rated guitar player.

To say the least... He came into his own and left an indelible mark on that band and through them, the world.

That's a great quote. When I have conversations about drummers they always go to the big three.. Bonham, Moon and Peart. Left out is always Ringo. Whenever someone cracks on Ringo I point out the work on Golden Sl uhh mbers/Carry That Weight/The End. I know he's not as flashy as the others in that list, but what he contributed is no less impactful.

On a personal note, he id's steady as a fan rock and with just enough flash to get the job done. Highly underrated if you ask me.

Also, his boy it's no slouch.

Sometimes it's not about how many notes you can squeeze into a measure. Sometimes It's about melody and soul and communicating an emotion through your instrument.

He created his own unique sound. That is something all guitar players strive to do.

The difference between Bonham, Moon, Peart, Ginger Baker (must add), and Ringo Starr is far more than just flash. The top drummers of rock consistently displayed far superior hand speed and the independence of all four limbs in maintaining separate beats and injecting off-tempo drum fills when compared to any of their contemporaries.

Ringo was far from the worst drummer of 60s rock, but when compared to the names above, it makes one wonder how bad Pete Best must have really been.

Steve Farrone should not be allowed to play songs that he didn't create the drum part for. He always sounds so freaking stiff. UGGG

To say the least... He came into his own and left an indelible mark on that band and through them, the world.

He did. There's a certain cerebral thing about his playing, that isn't like "Berkley School of Music" bullshit heady crap.

I know that quote is out there and was probably said, but it's pretty disrespectful how people have taken it over the years. Ringo is a great drummer. When somebody asked Ringo if he was a great drummer he answered "I was in the Beatles..."

The thing about Ringo is that he PLAYS THE SONG! He drives the bus in a very unique way. He always knows where he is, where he fits in and what's coming next. These are VERY important things.

Another factor to keep in mind is that the Beatles were editing between takes CONSTANTLY. This is done by literally cutting the tape in sections to assemble the best front to back version. (I'm sure you understand from radio, but not all here do). Ringo had very consistent time, which allowed for these edits to work so well. I've heard George Martin himself speak of Ringo's brilliance for that very reason.

I've heard some early tapes with Pete Best. His main problem was he'd do a great fill but come back slightly off time. I think Ringo and Charlie Watts are cut from the same mold in that they are almost metronomes to hold the band together. They can fly off and come back right on cue because of the back beat.

This cannot be over stated.

Of course he's not the wildman that Moon and Bonham were and not as technical as Peart or Baker but he's certainly in the ball park.
I'd play with him, that's for damn sure.

After I was done puking.

Spot on. Charlie is another that doesn't get the credit he deserves.

I LOVE all the drummers mentioned, but I'd only hire Ringo or Bonham as session players. Those are the guys who would just come in, learn the song and lay it down. The others are a little too specific.
