Yeah, at least Ringo never had his voiced fixed with computers like a certain blonde pop star that I could mention (her name rhymes with Millary Fluff)

I like both but what can I tell you I am a Ringo fan! His voice wasn't that great in his early Beatles songs but hen he got to "Yellow Submarine" and "With A Little Help From My Friends" Ringo's voice just hits the spot and I can't picture anyone else singing those songs. That is why I don't like the Joe Crocker version of "With A Little Help From My Friends" because it is slowed down way to much and the songs is also basically Ringo's trademark now. For drumming I love him on everything he did because he just sets the mood of the song and provides a solid, metronome like drumbeat. Lately I've been listening to like "Old Brown Shoe" and "The End" and I just love the drumming he is amazing what can I say and I am sick of him being so underated he is just as talented as the other 3. As John once said, "Ringo was a Star in his own right before we even had a drummer." I paraphrased there but the sentiment is the same John, Paul, and George have all said that Ringo is the greatest drummer. Interesting note when watching "Give My Regards To Broadstreet" reccently I noticed that on "Ballroom Dancing" Ringo played drums as he did with all of the songs in that movie. Anyway I heard the version from "Tug of War" and I kind of thought my, Ringo did a good job of copying the drumming from that album. Little to my suprise I found out that Ringo played the drums on "Tug Of War" to so he was just copying his own drumming anyways.

-Mr. Kite! 'ving been some days in preparation a splendid time is guaranteed for all!
I like both but just when he does it at the same time. Because normally in his All-Starr tours and stuff, he gets off the drums to sing, and off the mic to drum, and that I don't like
In the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.
