Ringo's Best Lead Vocal as a Beatle POLL

If You've Got Trouble: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeWBrsnaG_8

never heard this before today, pretty rocking!

good night. by miles. still fantastic, and still one of my favourite beatles songs.
although i'm thankful they ditched the 'spoken intro'!

I'll be boring and say "With a Little Help from Mountain Friends"

Matchbox

Mt. Friends sounds like an indie band from Montreal

Good night. Never realised how much I loved the song until I started singing it to my son at bedtime, which is the intended audience. Tender, sincere and delicate - a wonderful performance by Ringo.

"With a Little Help from Mt Friends"

BOYS

octopus's garden suits him.

octopus's garden act naturally suits him.

mount friends

humour angle wins out with act naturally

I sing Beatles songs in the shower, often. I sing with feeling when I'm singing Ringo lead vocal Beatles songs. So I'll go with 'Don't Pass Me By' (and here you thought I'd say 'Act Naturally' since I sing 'em in the shower).

I had a wonderful dream this past week that Ringo was singing Grand Funk songs with Grand Funk backing him. God-damn rekkid store of my dreams.

What Goes On

Good night. Never realised how much I loved the song until I started singing it to my son at bedtime, which is the intended audience. Tender, sincere and delicate - a wonderful performance by Ringo.

Gotta go with "Boys" -- his least-jokey performance, and one that suggested that he was a far more capable singer than he (or the other Beatles) let on. Plus, it contains some of his most explosive drumming (especially sparring with George on the solo).

"Boys"

"Good Night" is absolutely Ringo's finest vocal moment, in my book. It's also one of the few examples where the Anthology alternate version (piano accompaniment --> orchestra fade-in) runs neck and neck with the official version for me.

"Honey Don't" -- "awww, rock on, George, for Ringo one time!"

"Octopus' Garden" is the best song, so I voted for that one. "Matchbox" may be the best vocal performance.

Went w Honey Don´t

Boys also.

i like that Ringo's "least jokey performance" has the chorus "a bop shoo wop a wop bop shoo wop"

It's true, though. And besides, no matter who's singing it, ain't NOTHING jokey about "a bop shoo wop a wop bop shoo wop."

don't get me wrong, I'm with you on that - i just like it

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

i'm tempted to vote "if you got troubles" just because of that hilarious bit where ringo, obviously pissed at how bad the song is, yells "aw, rock on...ANYBODY!"

Honey Don't

But "Boys" is great too, especially with the Hollywood Bowl "singing a song called 'Boys'- RINGO!" intro.

if the live version of "i wanna be your man" was an option, i'd vote for that. not just his best vocal, but fucking rampaging drums.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

ARGH!

i love his 'yellow submarine' vox
