Oooo I know one of those! Octopuses garden! (sry for stealing one of the awnsers...). But no one likes Ringo anyways, I'm more of a Paul fan, I lliked alot of his songs he did atfer his Beatle career.

Act Naturally, Octopuses Garden, Yellow Submarine, Boys, Honey Dont, Dont Pass Me By, With A Little Help From My Friends, and What Goes On.
Thats all I can think of atm, I dont think theres many more
Poor Ringo, never appreciated
Just a side note, my mp3 player is Beatles-exclusive

I have 641 Beatles tracks, lol.

Ringo is my second favourite Beatle, second to Lennon. Ringo just seems to have this great personality, and he gets so silly and funny sometimes when he just starts jamming out on the drums. Also, Yellow Submarine and With a Little Help from my Friends are two of the best Beatles songs.

Ringo only wrote Octopus's Garden and Don't Pass Me By. The other songs that he sang were written by Lennon/McCartney for Ringo to sing.

Ive got 275 O.O how do you do it?

Snap! But yeah, that's true.

Anyway, since we're talking about Ringo, what's his real name.

Don't use Wikipedia. I'll know.

O.O I was thinking of the ones he sang Stop hassling me!

Richard Starkey hehe

No one is hassling you. He asked you which songs he wrote.

Torrent. One of the top 100 torrents on a certain site that I won't mention was the complete Beatles discography. About 3.5gigs worth of Beatles tracks.

That's interesting, since the Beatles have "only" released 283 songs.

I'm not sure then, but there's a lot of tracks that have multiple takes. Like for "I Am the Walrus", I have like three different versions of it. Also, I said "tracks", not songs, because there's quite a few short filler interview clips and snippets.

Yea, my mp3 has them by albums, so there are some doubles and triples, also i dont have the anthology, which may be part of it.

Did you see the movie made about John and Paul?

I have that! Ugh, I wish I could have had that about 10 years ago during my Beatle peak. Stupid internet and bittorrent being invented so late.

I remember I looked up what songs Ringo wrote, and I'm pretty sure I would have noticed those it they were on the list. 0.o

Agree. Well maybe one other song but I must not like that song as much to remember it..

Which other artist and friend of the Beatles used the appregiated riff which forms a theme of the Abbey Road medley, and in which song?

I know the answer, just testing you.

hmm im honestly not sure...
my best guess is clapton and heres why:
listen to he end of "you never give me your money" and then listen to the second half of "badge" by cream (one of claptons bands) youll notice the riffs are very similar.
so clapton is my best guess and if i get this right, then damn.

Congrats.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7... I love that song.

omg im so good, that was a complete guess
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 all good children go to heaven
thats one of my favorite songs

Yeah mine too... I especially like the 3 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahooooh middly bits with the deep lead guitar bending down... and of course that amazing riff...

It's so hard to choose a best one though, I change every day... Penny Lane, Hey Jude, Tomorrow Never Knows, Day Tripper, Ticket to Ride, A Day in the Life, I Am The Walrus, LSD, Getting Better, Lovely Rita, Here Comes the Sun, Helter Skelter...

There's no chance at all that they weren't the best band ever to be honest. So much creativity and melody...

My close second is Kevin Shields. I recommend you definitely listen to Loveless some time if you like the Beatles.

Why are the Beatles so much a boy-band? Why didn't they grow some more testicles?

Are you talking about Two of Us? That movie was total fiction and infuriated me. It made John and Paul look like stuck up asshole bullies, which they were not. Well, John did throw water balloon condoms at priests when he was a teenager, but that's different.
