And Ringo's not even the best drummer in the Beatles.
Beside, have you ever seen nicer cheekbones the Georges.......

Anyone who has listened to Ringo Rama cannot vote George. It simply is not done.
But he named his album Ringo Rama... RINGO. RAMA. Ack.
I haven't heard Ringo Rama. But even if I did. George owns my soul. :nod:

And it's way harder to play a guitar than drums, I should know...

Ringo can't play drums, Harrison was a very versatile guitar player and songwriter. Sorted.

Watch any of the movies; Ringo's the funniest one.
Though I will not deny the coolness of "Got My Mind Set on You."
Post by: kilconey on 20 Feb 2005, 16:40
actually, i know the reason. 'piggies' is the reason george annoys me.
words cannot describe how much i hate 'piggies'. miserable hippie whining against rich people. boohoo.
plus they put it right after 'blackbird' on the white album, which just ruins everything.
i love ringo's drumming. i don't know how technically good it is (i'm a guitar player, myself) but it always seems to sound just right for the song.

Although I'm not sure the extent of it - it is generally accepted that John or Paul would play drums on many of their songs when Ringo couldn't get it right.
I love some Wings - there are some great songs from Paul post-Beatles (and let's not forget John's solo work - ace). Wings definitely has some cheesy bits to em' but overall a good band. George's solo stuff I could never get too into as it was mainly very mellow and introspective.

for Wings. You have to do this:

I don't know how "generally accepted" this rumor is, but it isn't true. Paul did, however, play drums on three songs: "Back in the USSR" and "Dear Prudence", because Ringo had temporarily quit the band; and "The Ballad of John and Yoko", because he was off making a movie.

Obviously, seaker... maybe you should explain about the time machine.

If anyone want to know about the time machine, they can pm me.
(I doubt you would, it rather disturbing)
And you're only saying Ringo to keep me happy... I know you too well.

You know, The Beatles were using Eastern instraments, and influences 30 years before Bangra.

Ringo is funnier though.
But still, my heart will never be swayed from George.

Ringo's drumming is subpar by today's standards...but after 10 years of merseybeat It's probably hard to break out of the mold.

This song is so much more bearable if you imagine it being sung by Cthulhu and the Deep Ones.
