Ringo Starr: Starr Struck: The Best of Ringo Starr, Vol. 2 [Rhino, 1989]
I played this in the spirit of one more once, just in case I'd missed something--for instance, the Joe Walsh-produced Old Wave, released 1983 Canada-only, how sad. But whatever his charms as an ex-Beatle, he's been El Lay for most of his adult life, and even on rock and roll ditties drummed up by ex-Beatles George Harrison and Paul McCartney (not exactly surefire hitmakers, I know, though John Lennon's isn't much better), his dogged directness can't cut it. Better than Telly Savalas, but no match for George Harrison, or Joe Walsh.
