I know you're referring to Drumming, which they are seriously solid and sharp equals in my book especially judging from Live recordings '63-'65 (Saving The Beatles' tiredness from touring in '66), but getting to Songwriting, I will say that "Be With Me" or "All I Want to Do" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "Octopus' Garden" and Pacific Ocean Blue (which was songs by Dennis usually with Gregg Jacobson and a few others) > Almost every Ringo solo album that's not called Ringo (Which he had plenty of help from his friends) or a greatest hits. On the Solo Songwriting level, Dennis does Beat the Beatle, but mainly by default - Ringo just does not appear to have been the "Songwriter" type that Dennis occasionally turned into. Dennis' occasional contributions were much-needed Post-Brian.
No argument on Brian.
