Ringo Starr or Charlie Watts???

Charlie is rock solid, like clockwork. Ringo has a flair, more musical. Any thoughts? I myself have to go Ringo.

IMHO, the tasks they were executing were different enough to make this type of judgement irrelevent. BTW Blakadr, I think it's "Gene Krupa" Marty

Do any of you Beatle's aficionados know if this is true?
