Well I wasn't comparing them, I was just saying that yeah, I can
easily see Buddy Rich as being innovative.  Maybe its just that I can
only look at the Ruttles^H^H^H^H^H^H^HBeatles in retrospect that I
can't see what's innovative about Ringo.  Famous?  Yeah.  Made a big
splash?  Yeah.  Innovative?  Err.. sorry.

When I think of innovative rock drummers I think of Moonie, Neal Pert,
even John Bonham, but never Ringo.  Sorry.
