Yellow Submarine was written by Paul McCartney, so I'm not sure it counts. I enjoy the song, it's a bit of fun.

Since there are only 11 songs to choose from anyway, a top 5 would be much better. Here's mine:

1. Don't Pass Me By
2. With a Little Help from My Friends
3. Good Night

Actually I might just stop at 3. Those are the only ones I really like, though I don't hate any either besides Matchbox, Boys and Honey Don't.

I love that someone would make a top 10 list of greatest Ringo Beatles songs. That's humorous! �'�

..what the hell, I'll make one myself:

#1 Don't Pass Me By
#2 Good Night
#3 With a Little Help from My Friends
#4 Octopus's Garden
#5 What Goes On
#6 Yellow Submarine
#7 Boys <--- Excellent vocal performance
#8 I Wanna Be Your Lover
#9 Act Naturally
#10 Honey Don't

He has a great voice actually, but in a very different way than the other three voices. Btw, still haven't listened to any Ringo Starr solo albums.. :oops:

Yellow Submarine is an abomination. And even if anyone does like it, how dare they put it above Don't Pass Me By and With A Little Help From My Friends? Those are among The Beatles best songs.

haha... yes his songs are almost not terrible... hahaha. I mean don't get me wrong I don't dislike Ringo's songs, but they pale in comparison. I am hoping that was a hyperbole.

There's an excellent, rocking version by the Georgia Satellites.

Agreed, Don't Pass Me By is the only Ringo song that I don't have the urge to skip.

Sounds like a good movie, you don't often see slapstick comedies that are deep.

Get this: the big boobed cavewoman in the movie is the woman Ringo married a couple years later!

Thanks. I've been using that "they're" a lot more in life than usual, so it became a trace of habit I guess.
