" My sister has a theory that the Beatles are dying off in order of musical talent "
Dead wrong ...McCartney the most talented ( wrote most of the melodies to Beatles songs ; is a multi-instrumenatlist inc. drums ; had the most successful solo career, and was the best singer in the group IMO ) . Followed by John ( 2nd best Beatles songwriter ; second best singer in the group ; multi-instumentalist , although I couldn't stand his solo stuff at all ) , then George ( writing Here Comes The Sun alone rates him higher than Ringo ) , and last Ringo ( he was somewhat creative , and highly influential/insprirational , but was a lousy singer although could hold a tune , and didn't write diddly ) .
I was responding to post 46.
For creative drumming nobody could beat Ringo.
