Ringo's drumming on "Plastic Ono Band" is my favorite.

He's great all the time but that is the album in which I know how's drumming every song. Much of it is super simple but he puts an intensity and drive behind every song.

Phil Spector and Lennon had a lot to do with it as well I'm sure.

Great album. Didn't know that was him. The Well, well, well lead in has got to be the grimiest lick ever created.

The strange voice that says "cookieā€¯ on "hold on" is a strange part of that album.

Yes. It's one hell of a gesture. It's such a beautiful song and then "Cookie."

It's sort of the ultimate, "this is my song and I'll do whatever the fuck I want," moment.
