He was in the top 6.
You're gonna put him ahead of Tony Sheridan, Billy Preston, Jeff Lynne and George Best?
I thought he meant McCartney was top 6 in the Beatles, I can agree with that, as Ringo is the 3rd best drummer. . . in the Beatles. Quite frankly I would find it hard to rate any of the Beatles in the top 500 musicians or songwriters, they just weren’t any good, the original "emperor’s new clothes"
Best regards
