Would the Beatles and the Rolling Stones be better without Ringo and Charlie.

I think what people have to realise is that Ringo became the first "famous in his own right" drummer. Back in the 60s all the groups had drummers but nobody knew their names unless you sought out the info, nobody knew the names of drummers in bands like The Hollies, The Searchers, The Yardbirds, Animals etc etc.Ha ha
I have to say though (as a non fan of the beatles) I love Ringo's "Photograph"
Ringo had this dolefull look about him but he could drum very hard if reqd and always kept a very steady beat, never played the same fill twice in a song.

He was unorthodox, which was absolutely perfect for the Beatles.

If you really want to hear a shite drummer, listen to the recordings (at Decca) with Pete Best on drums. Or Pete's drumming on Love Me Do on their EMI audition.

In terms of the Beatles, the dynamic of the group would have been different and, most likely, less creative. Think the Beatles was very much a case of right place, right time.

Dave Grohl called Ringo the greatest “feel” drummer in the world (“Ringo was the king of feel”) and, alluding to pretty much the same thing, Jim Keltner said he was the greatest at just sitting in a song and coming up with the perfect part for that song. He might not have been technically proficient in the manner of powerhouses like Jon Bonham or Clem Burke, but the acid test is can you think of a Beatles song that would have been improved by having a different drummer, and the answer is ‘no’. He was a human metronome and endlessly inventiveLoL
