I think Ringo had a fabulous feel, his playing on the solo of Something was completely free of ego, and allowed George to be so expressive.
yes, or no.
I do think the Beatles, collectively, and I guess Lennon and McCartney in particular, made some pretty remarkable music which really does hold up today. And I don't think any of them did anything subsequently which had anything like the same magic.
At their worst, every single one of them wrote some absolutely turgid shite and collectively they didn't half come up with some jumped up nursery rhymes on occasion.
For me, Lennon's solo efforts are better than Ringo but worse than the others. Can't stand Imagine, myself.
Ringo was a great drummer, you just need to listen to Come Together to prove that. Rubbish singer though.
I think Yoko insisted that line stay to destroy the band.
Ringo was perfect for the Beatles IMO regardless of whether he is over- or under-rated.
That said, any of his collaborations with Yoko are utter dross. Plastic Ono Band, Imagine and Walls and Bridges are all fine albums, Mind Games not so good.
I think Ringo gets a fairly good rap these days to be honest, I don't hear much snobbery in his direction anyway
