Happy birthday Ringo

Ringo Starr turns 70 today. To me one of the greatest rock drummers of all time. Let's smoke one for Ringo.

Dunno about the "one of the greatest" comment, but happy birthday anyway.

Ringo Star = Legend

Happy birthday for yesterday Mr Starkey

I would settle for one of the most known as his musical capacities were famously known for their shear very limits. Indeed, happy B-Day Ringo, you've proven that little help from your friends you could indeed get famous too.

Ringo Starr was nothing flash on the drums, but he helped make the sound. We shouldn't underestimate him. You wouldn't really want a flash drummer on any of those Beatles albums.

Couldn't agree more sir. Listen to them with Pete Best. Clearly something is missing. Ringo was the one who gave the Beatles that extra zing. Happy birthday pal.

His relative simplicity and his fills were his greatest strengths IMO.
