“I always felt sorry for Ringo and George, they had to deal with the aholes, John and Paul.”
Any other normal musicians would have been dwarfed by John and Paul who were brilliant composers. Heck the songs they gave away to others weren’t bad.
Here’s a Cilla Black song I recently discovered. Mainly written by Paul and was written for her. Almost a Shirley Bassey type song. 1964 era music with sophisticated chord changes in 6/8. Cilla’s voice can be annoying in the bridge but I can still appreciate the song itself.

No need to feel sorry for George and Ringo. They were part of one of the greatest rock bands that went for about 9 years or so and retired on top.
The Stones may have never taken off, had The Beatles not let them cover “I Wanna Be Your Man”.
