Please, Ringo was a good drummer. Not the best drummer ever , even not one of the best, but yes a good one, wich isnt a sad thing, i think.

have you even heard the people I've mentioned above?

Yes, some of them, and they are really good. Better than ringo, but , i have said before, ringo wasnt the best or one of the best, only a good one.

"So, say to me a band with more talent together. And say to me a band more influential and innovator than the beatles."

Rush whoop The Beatles all over the place in terms of talent on their instruments and innovation.

That would be in your dreams. Rush more talented than beatles? you must be joking or dreaming.

Leave the Music forum. You know nothing.

The Beatles still made better music than Rush.

I don't think so, by a long shot.

I'm not trying to ruin this thread, it's a Beatles fan thread. I was just answering his question.

they dont interest me, but i respect them as artists

I wont answer that centaury person, he has showed what kind of poster he is. Im not interested in what he is posting .

When it comes to instrumental talent he's right.. but I think the Beatles write better songs.

I really intended this tread to be just for people for fanaticize over the group

And I think Ringo was a very important band member. The whole reason John and Paul replaced Pete with him was becuase he was the #1 drummer in liverpool

A huge reason that John and Paul replaced Pete with him was because Pete's good looks made them jealous. In fact at the time, Best was the most recognizable and popular member of The Beatles.

Actually, the way that they got rid of him was a bit underhanded and two-faced.

I saw clips of him, and he looks like a really nice, shy man

Im pretty sure the reason they got rid of Pete was because George Martin favored Ringo course the stuff mentioned above could have made it an easier decision to make...
Favorite Song or Album: whatever happens to be on at the time
Favorite Beatle: I like them all but heres their standings as of this very moment: John, George, Ringo, then Paul
Favorite Haircuts: For John I like all of them except for what I like to call the "Amish look"...George when its a little bit longer and he has a mustace I have this one picture where he has a tamborine on his head, he has nice hair there but since my computers stuffed up I cant post pictures...Ringo- nothing can make him anything less than a total babe, but his eyebrow seems to have problems sometimes-I kid you not its the left one check it out yourself, sometimes its ok sometimes it looks like he got tweaser happy...And Paul looks fine most of the time except for what I call the "monkey look"- not the band he seriously looks like a monkey.

For haircut, Im gonna actually say I loved the elvis teddy-boy style hair they had as teenagers in the 50's

I'd like to actually see the list... you know which one it is? And I meant they aren't overrated musicians by the general public.. when it comes to music critics I could see them being considered overrated. But a lot of people seem to think they aren't even good musicians... they are.

Dunno what lists they were supposed to be in, but I did a google search.
George Harrison is on #21 in the Rolling Stone Best Guitarists of all time list. And Paul McCartney was mentioned in a couple of Best Rock Bassists lists. And I saw Ringo Starr in some Best Drummers of all time lists, one of them listed him on #3.

Well Ringo being #3 is pretty stupid but that isn't the opinion most people have so I wouldn't say that makes them overrated.

Did anybody see the movies?? My personal favorite is Help!...what about you??

Anyone who puts Ringo on any sort of best drummer's list deserves to be shot.
