What are the odds that a person chosen to play accompaniment guitar as a child in a band could end up writing hit tunes and sing really well? It scares me this sort of thing. This has nothing to do with idm, and I know its Dad rock so forgive me. I just find it strange and miraculous..

Not sure what you mean by that? You mean, he wasn't picked as a songwriter but as lead guitarist? I guess because he was exposed to the song writing process and the music production process, it rubbed off on his own song writing, making it more professional while retaining his own character.

yes, to have had McCartney Lennon and Harrison in one band (before they were all very famous), with George Martin producing, is a fortunate happenstance. Still, they did have Ringo so it's only three outta four.

but Ringo's simplicity was probably really important to their sound.

you could have a point there - I really like the drums on Yer Blues.

Well the intro to "she said" is brillaint and its pure Ringo. Much of the Beatles are simple breaks. tomorrow never knows? Ringo break. Simplicity made him find simple grooves

Ringo is underrated, there are so many ''simplistic'' Beatles beats that are totally distinctive. You Won't See Me has a strange drum pattern, the syncopated stuff in Ticket to Ride is classic, the massive fills in Day in the Life, and the latin groove I Feel Fine... good stuff. And yeah he was great when he played fancy too... She Said She Said, and Rain is just as good.

'all things must pass' is a masterpiece. you can tell his songwriting has been supressed for years prior to that
