Here's a good compilation if you want to understand why Ringo's music worked so well for the Beatles.

I won't doubt that he could feel a song. Good video

There's also the little tidbit that he was the most popular Beatle out of everybody because he was personable, funny, and just a nice guy overall. George was quiet and mysterious, Paul was too uptight and polite, and John just said whatever the fuck he wanted.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Wonder why John was my favorite

 

[Barry Poppins]

I mean John's my favorite as well, but not because he's a good person.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

I've seen heavy metal jam sessions that are much more concise and complex than a lot of Beatles stuff. Wouldn't say a lot of it was better though, just too fast for me to comprehend

 

[Barry Poppins]

The thing about the Beatles is they were among the first bands to really change up how music is produced and written.

 

[Barry Poppins]

So a lot of the Beatles' early stuff is a case of "Seinfeld is Unfunny", but their music from 1966-1969 is beyond timeless.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

They sure did when Frank Sinatra was awesome, he was just behind what was comin' next

 

[Barry Poppins]

I also point out, that The Beatles went from "She Loves Me" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand" from 1963-64 to "Nowhere Man", "Norwegian Wood", "Ticket to Ride", "In My Life", and "Tomorrow Never Knows" in 1965-66. That's an insane evolution that you can hear as their albums get more complex. No other band can I think of outside of The Beach Boys from Summer Days (and Summer Nights) to Pet Sounds had that kind of progression of music.

 

[Barry Poppins]

With other bands like Gorillaz that experienced a musical evolution, years had passed by that point, with Gorillaz coming out in 2001 and Demon Days in 2005.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

I think you could say Kanye with how his albums morphed

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Beach Boys are better than the Beatles though, would ya fight me on that?

Sgt. Peppers > Revolver > Pet Sounds > Rubber Soul
