HOLIDAY SALE AT THE ONION STORE

Artist Ringo Starr And His All Star Band

It's been over 40 years since The Beatles broke up, but even at the age of 70, Ringo Starr still gets a lot of flack for being that legendary band's least-talented member. And while the other three Beatles unquestionably made a larger impact with their own respective solo albums, Starr has proven himself to be an enduring, charming songwriter and frontman in his own right. He hasn't been the most prolific Beatle, releasing only a pair of records in the '80s and '90s apiece, but he returned this year with Y Not. "Peace Dream" and "Walk With You" rightfully warrant most of the thanks to a guest appearance from fellow survivor Paul McCartney, but the rest of the disc is just as fun, if (like all things Ringo) slightly less indispensable.
