Biggest Mistake of the Career of the Now #1

"One thing that Ringo Starr likes to do with a little help from his friends is make albums. Sadly, not even his friends — Joe Walsh, Dave Stewart and, on two songs, Paul McCartney — can shore up a congenital inability to write songs. Mawkish clichés masquerade as autobiography on The Other Side of Liverpool. A Joss Stone duet, Who’s Your Daddy, is borderline creepy. In a pub-rock paean to self-empowerment, Y Not, sitars blend in as well as a pork chop in a synagogue. Still, the drumming’s great."

Sorry Ringo, we're just not feeling it. The Independent apparently agrees.
