there is no way Ringo could ever have been the Who's drummer due to shere 
difficulty.  Keith did so much more than Ringo could have.  If you take his 
wild antics and self-destructive tendencies out of the equation- keith could 
have played w/the beatles easily.  Can u imagine ringo on stage trying to 
keep up with Pete and Roger, especially pete?  it would have been a joke- and 
i'm not saying ringo isn't good- but keith was a fucking special drummer and 
arguably the best rock drummer ever.  he launched a genre- not ringo.  ringo 
did complement john, paul, and george very well and was great drummer for 
what the beatles played.
