It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: That's what I've read, plus,

What they were, I think, were the perfect ensemble players. Their playing always served the music, rather than the other way around. But more than that, when they came together, the band itself became an instrument that was better than any virtuoso soloist could possibly be. Ringo fit this model perfectly. John famously quipped that he wasn't even the best drummer in the Beatles, but he was good enough to support the band -- the best drummer in Liverpool at the time, as one of them (Paul?) put it. And his philosophy was to support the band, rather than to strike out on his own as a virtuoso. That made his playing an ideal match to the ensemble-oriented playing of the others.
