If Martin never found Ringo, so what. If Richard D James was born retarded, he'd suck. But he wasn't!

he's famous no doubt, but for what Lennon and Mcartney did basically... what they wrote... he simply played simple little drum parts for them...

The job of a drummer... is to drum... Ringo... drummed on the best songs ever made... stayed in the back... where drummers belong... in the back... and did his job AD PERFECTUM!... you can't make a better drum beat for I am the Walrus than the one he did. Steady, repetitive, hypnotic, like the song. If Moon was on that, it would sound chaotic and immature. Or something. True, ANYONE could play that, but NOT anyone could have the taste and team-mentality to stay back like that, but he did. For the good of the band, not drummer glory! That makes him a winner, and everyone else losers, cuz I don't see THEM tastefully holding the beat for the top musicians ever.

I liked Jimmi Hendrix's drummer Mitch Mitchel.He was real wicked, When they played "Fire" live it was so fast the beat sounded like DnB.
The first Jungelist he he!!!!!

he played on great great songs, sure... but that doesn't make him a great drummer... he was just lucky to be in a band with Mcartney and Lennon... when you're talking about best drummer, or best anything else, you don't judge based on what band they were in, but on their playing ability... and frankly, Ringo Starr was nothing special...

Nope, he's not the best, but he's the greatest. He'll be remembered, most people don't know and don't care who Ginger Baker is, because the songs he was involved in aren't one tenth as good as the songs RINGO was in. I know what you're saying, but I have different criteria. Think like this, Pavel Bure scores shitloads of goals, more than Mike Peca, but Peca is steadier and plays a non-flashy, team game, give me Peca anyday over Pavel Idiot-Fave! Ringo is the grinder in the background, the Peca.
I've lost my mind at this point.

Hey Ophex - doesn't the question/poll thing say drummers?
So, the fact [opinion] that Ringo was in "the best songs ever" does not make him the best drummer. He may have been the most suitable drummer for this kind of music, and i don't think people are disputing this, but as a DRUMMER .. not band member or most complimentary musician or what ever .. as a DRUMMER, i think Ringo was somewhat average, just look at Keith Moon - not thats drumminG!!!

Ophecks... thanks for your opinions... they mean nothing as to "YOUR TOP 5 DRUMMERS". You rant on and on about Ringo, but yet choose to disclude any other ones, because "Ringo held back"... BAH. SHUT UP! If it weren't for George Martin or John, Paul, or George... Ringo wouldn't be anyone. Drummers like Bozzio, Buddy Rich, Stewart Copeland, Erskine, Baker... the list goes on... made drumming an experience rather than something that makes all that crap like "POP"... listen to more drumming... I bet you can't drum to any of bozzio's stuff, b/c his drumming whales little "I am the walrus" shit.

Ya I know that it's a 70's song but I am not the hugest Rush fan...I am particularly fond of another canadian band called The Rheostatics! Now they, IMO, are the best canadian act on the planet!!!
Oh and huge ups to Meshuggah!!! They rule! Their drummer isn't as good as GENE HOGLAN from Strapping Young Lad/Almighty Punchdrunk/Dark Angel/Death/Testament/Naphobia...........though!!!

As George Harrison put it, Ringo kept a steady beat... he wasn't flashy, and I guess that totally fit into The Beatles music... although it was totally different, and innovative, it wasn't flashy like a Jimi Hendrix, or Led Zepplin song with mad guitar solos and stuff... but come on now, he wasn't the best drummer...

Fuck guitar solos, the Beatles have a universal appeal that will never die, and is a MUCH greater achievement than any fucking wanker solo that any idiot could do if they practiced enough. Shit, even I can play Jimi's solos, and get them almost dead on, but I'll be SHITASSDICKFUCKED if I can make a song like Strawberry Fields Forever.

And I know Ringo ain't the best drummer ever, I just get off by annoying people. He's great, I know other drummers blow him out of the water. But they would also make the Beatles suck with their wanktitude, and they'll never be good enough to be a Beatle.
