I have to say I'm not a big fan of The Beatles but to say they are not musical is ridiculous. They had something that many acts try to achieve - their own sound (love it or hate it). I do have to say also, that Ringo comes in for a lot of unnecessary criticism. Yeah, he wasn't a fantastic drummer but the rest of the Beatles weren't virtuoso performers on their respective instruments and neither are Charlie Watts or Mick Fleetwood and they don't seem to receive the criticism Ringo gets. Ringo's son Zak is an excellent drummer. Mind you, he was inspired by Keith Moon!
