Quoted from Bobber

Ringo is much more creative than Charlie Watts.

Ringo's fills are the highlight of his drumming. Very creative. Except to say that the four beat fill between '...the girl with the sun in her eyes' and 'Lucy in the sky with diamonds...' is the only moment I don't rate. Too simple, not enough excitement building up.

Quoted from Wayne L.

I think legendary rock drummers like Ginger Baker, Keith Moon & John Bonham get lots of respect tkitna.  It seems to me Ringo doesn't get any respect at all even though he's a great drummer in his own right sadly.  

sure just look a keiths solo sales or how about that top selling fat matress album...i know we all got that one....where does your information come from duh-wayne?????from that same betty crocker site juniors farm learns from??two pea brains in a pod you are...

I thought Charlie was creative. Even until this day, i've never heard a drummer mess with a 4/4 beat like Charlie did in the beginning of 'Start Me Up' Brilliant. He's also a terrific jazz player. Not getting into a who's better than who deal, but I love Charlie too.

Oh, and Wayne, Ringo gets tons of respect too. Its just that its usually in the drumming community and not from everyday rock fanboys. All three drummers you listed respected Ringo. That's good enough for me.

Quoted from Kevin

From Wikepedia:
Freeman himself remembered:

   " They had to fit in the square format of the cover, so rather than have them all in a line, I put Ringo in the bottom right corner, since he was the last to join the group. He was also the shortest. "

Quoted from GreenApple

So that's the reason why. Thanks Kevin. I respect Ringo.

Quoted from The End

the picture was taken like that because if they had head and shoulder shots of the four guys in a row it wouldn't have fitted so snuggly on the album sleeve.

That's what I said and I didn't get no bleedin' thanks!!!!

Quoted from Kevin

Because putting four in a row would have made them too small

Ahem....

LOL! Ok ok - I give in!!!

Didn't notice you said it, but thanks.

I was listening to Beatles-A-Rama!!! last night (and I love it by the way), and noticed how time-perfect Ringo's drumming is on the Anthology version of Your Mother Should Know. Also, I saw in a music magazine some years back that Ringo sold more albums in the first five years after the guys split up than John, Paul and George combined!

I'm sick of Bonham. Sorry. Love Moonie.
