I think they would still have made it. Ringo contributed next to nothing to the creative process. But I sure do love those simple Ringo drum fills.

Ringo was a great drummer and rounded out the "cutesy" thing the Beatles had going on. He also wrote several songs.

Don't get me wrong. I love Ringo's drumming. It fit like a glove with the Beatles' music. And yes, he did write a few songs; but I don't think that Ringo was the member that kept the Beatles alive or gave them that special thing. Lennon and McCartney were the main creative force behind their work. I do wish that Harrison had gotten more tunes on their albums. He was always my second favorite songwriter in the group behind Lennon.
The Beatles would still be the most important musical group post World War II hands down, whether the drummer was Pete or Best, neither of whom can or could ever hold the drumsticks of a Charlie Watts or Ginger Baker.
NOBODY would haveheard of the Beatles if they hand fired Pete Best.
Ginger Baker slept most of the time he was drumming 'causa da drugs, man; but when he was awake, wow!

He wrote 1, and co-wrote another.
His musical additions to The Beatles is pretty much non-existent, he's not a great drummer on top of that (not awful though).
However I think without Ringo The Beatles don't stay together as long as they do. He was by far the most popular member within the group. They probably wouldn't have released many of their later albums without him, and broken up much sooner.

George is my favorite song-writer from The Beatles. Most songs off of All Things Must Pass were songs that were rejected by John or Paul. And that record is just as good as any Beatles album in my opinion. Huge George fan, and as a solo artist I don't think John, and certainly not Paul, are as good.
wider than the Grand Canyon
Seriously - nobody comes close
The Beatles are the most overrated band in modern history.
That being said, in their place in time- from 1960-1970 - they were greater than anyone else.
I still listen to Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt Pepper, Abbey Road... They really knew how to write smart, catchy songs.
