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.

the compression on ringo's drums were as important as Ringo

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
