The thing about Ringo is that he more or less invented (or at least popularized) many of the beats that other genres would use, e.g. prog rock (not the crazy time signature stuff obviously) and a lot of pop music at the time.
It’s not always obvious, but you can pick some tracks from say Yesterday and Today through to Abby Road and have a difficult time finding other drummers who used that beat first.
