quote:This was actually said by a comedian named Jasper Carrot several years after John died
When John was asked if Ringo was one of the best drummers in the world John answered "he's not even the best drummer in the Beatles
But apparently it will never be killed off

And there was Ringo

Jasper Carrott said that, not John Lennon, like Kafka said.
Ringo is a left handed drummer playing a right hand kit. That gave a unique, sometimes slightly off-beat, sound to The Beatles.
I can’t say anymore about The Beatles that hasn’t already been said. They were giants.

Making weird music that was too edgy for anyone except other musicians.
If John Lennon's solo work is too weird and edgy for you, then, Paul McCartney's solo work should be more your style. They are remarkably different.

Rock fans who don't appreciate the Beatles don't understand the state of Rock N' Roll before they hit. The doo-wop era was getting old to younger teenagers, and pop music was trending more folksy and country, aside from the commercial dance hits and love ballads.
When the Beatles hit, they had more energy and edge than American rock bands of the time. This wasn't "Run Around Sue" or "Duke of Earl." It was basically blues and folk songs sped up, played harder and faster with harmonies unheard before. To the baby-boom generation that was eager to break out, the Beatles' were exciting and new.
This inspired youngsters who weren't into Lawrence Welk, Patsy Kline, Bobby Vinton, Roy Orbison or Frankie Valli to turn it up a notch in every way. Without the Beatles and following British Invasion, rock music that we know and love today from the late 60's may not have ever been.

Paul (with the Wings) released Band on the Run in 1973, which was essentially a continuation of the Beatles style
I enjoy band on the run more than anything the Beatles ever put out

Rubber Soul and Revolver.
Those two let me know musically what the Beatles could do for my taste.
LSD and Maharishi stuff was a bit too far out for me. I've been in several bands and always when playing any Beatles song, whether I particularly loved the song or not, felt really cool just to be covering it.
Great thread.
