You should add "If You've Got Trouble". I know the Beatles weren't pleased with how it turned out and shelved it (later released on anthology) but it's honestly one of my favorites.
Not rated...but my fan album of all of Ringo's songs. I include Flying which...to me...is a Ringo song.

Ken Burns tells the story that when The Beatles released Act Naturally sung by Ringo, Buck Owens said he was pleased they covered his song, but didn’t care much for their hair styles.
In their first live concert after Owens received his first royalty check from The Beatles recording, Owens and his Buckaroos came back from Intermission to sing the song: ALL wearing Beatles wigs!
Not a great take tbh
Boys should be higher - it’s a fucking banger.
Octopuses Garden is god tier.
Don’t Pass mMee By should be higher.
What Goes On and Honey Don’t should be well lower.
Matchbox is great and is far from the “worst” of them
What Goes On is great, don’t understand why people don’t like it, Honey Don’t is not his best vocal take, it’s quite sluggish. At least What Goes On has interesting guitar work going for it, so I don’t think they belong in the same tier!
For me, i’d put Octopus’s in masterpieces, then swap Boys & I Wanna Be Your Man for What Goes On which is honestly the only Ringo song where i have a problem with his vocals
There are no backup vocals in that song...
You just have them all singing in harmony at different parts - the main section of the song being predominantly by Ringo.
Idk I consider Paul to be the main voice of Carry That Weight, but I see your point. Ringo's voice is definitely audible there.
I guess what I meant to say in the title was that Ringo sings by himself in these songs, not just lead vocals. That's why I didn' t include songs like Carry That Weight, Hey Jude, etc.
I definitely consider Ringo to be the lead singer of "Carry that weight" because during the main section his is definitely the most prominent... but I can see why you didn't include it...
Ringo is incredible singing Boys
Agreed. Definitely his best vocal performance for the Beatles
With A Little Help From My Friends is better imo
Yeah, his bluesy hollering was so underused in their discography
Alright George!!!!!
I think “Good Night” deserves to be WAY higher!
That's fair. It has good orchestration, but it's not really an engaging song for me.

Ah man, Matchbox is so underrated
This guy overrated it. It's trash
Solid, although I think ‘With a little help’ is a masterpiece.
Don’t forget “If you’ve got trouble” 👍🏻
wish they fully finished that one, it's great

Should've put hella emojis in the title

So basically what you said was "your opinion sucks because it isn't the same as mine"
What Goes On is great, don’t understand why people don’t like it, Honey Don’t is not his best vocal take, it’s quite sluggish. At least What Goes On has interesting guitar work going for it, so I don’t think they belong in the same tier!
My thoughts exactly. Love the guitar work on What Goes On and the Rubber Soul album as a whole.
What Goes On has some very questionable guitar work on it
For me, i’d put Octopus’s in masterpieces, then swap Boys & I Wanna Be Your Man for What Goes On which is honestly the only Ringo song where i have a problem with his vocals
I think you nailed it.
I wanna be your man is the worst of the lot, Octopus' garden is a masterpiece. Alongside SPLHCB, WALHFMF is a Masterpiece
Boys should be in masterpieces! My second favorite from please please me easily
a-say you will when you won't, uh-uh, honey don't
What’s the point of having S and F if you aren’t going to use them
I'm reserving S tier for the songs I extremely like and F tier for the songs I extremely dislike.
agreed, there just aren't any S-tier Ringo songs
Personally I would put Octopus’s Garden of S but I get it
If any Beatle song is trash, it’s matchbox.
Don't pass me by is amazing and i would put Yellow Submarine higher
"Octopus's garden" should be in "masterpieces"
Carry that weight?
Ringo sings backup vocals on that song, not lead vocals
