What other band would let their drummer sing a song like Yellow Submarine?

Phil Collins is the only one that might come close.

I vote that the Beatles have the best chance of any generation knowing the names of all four members.

Maybe Don Henley but I guess people think of the Eagles before mentioning Don. Also, not as popular as Ringo.

Another vote for Tom Lee. Ringo is unknown to the under 40 set.

Surprised it took this long for someone to mention Lars. I didn't think there was a good answer besides Ringo but this is probably it.

Ringo
Moon
Bonham
Baker
Grohl
Rich
Krupa

I’d wager most have heard of those, any others including Lars or Phil Collins would not be on anyone’s radar.

Dude, this list is based on 2023, not 1975.

Grohl and Lars are the most likely candidates to beat Ringo right now AINEC.

Ok what planet is Charlie Watts more famous than the guy that sang Yellow Submarine and With A Little Help From My Friends?

You’ve also got generations of kids from the late 60s to about the mid 80s who watched this :

He said for decades kids would come up to him and say “why did you press the button?” because his cartoon does it in the movie.

On planet France. His death almost monopolised the entire front page of France's Libération daily newspaper.

Don Henley might be the most unpopular popular musician of all time.
