He would have attracted many more girls.
What if Ringo had played the timpani on every song?

They'd make you have it all pulled out before giving you the Savoy Truffle .

George Martin would have continued to wear ugly ties.
Serious answer: Without George Martin's influence and help, their music would not have matured and evolved as much as it did. Not sure if there was anybody at Decca like him. Worst case scenario: They would have faded away as the Mersey Sound grew out of style. Still with their natural talent, they would have more likely outlasted bands like the Dave Clark Five or Gerry & the Pacemakers.
What if the Beatles actually did the Lord Of The Rings movie?

They'd have brought in Dirk McQuickly as his replacement, and we'd have been none the wiser (except for the distinct lack of bass playing on Abbey Road ).
What if Ringo had refused to shave his beard in 1962?

Floyd Pepper would have replaced McCartney in '66, instead of William Shears Campbell
What if George Harrison had grown interested in kazoos, rather than the sitar?

George Harrison would be a Techman, your 10-byte hard drive appears too small, if you take a walk, you wear a vision pro, if you try to sit, it will be in an adjustable office chair, customized, and remember to declare the emails in your window's hotmail inbox!
What if the Beatles released a 13th album to compete with Sticky Fingers in 1971?

It would have continued The Beatles career one year closer to them hooking up with Kraftwerk, disappearing into the Kling Klang Studio, and never being heard from again.
What if Paul McCartney had been the one to create The Spice Girls?

He'd be in there with them as Cayenne pepper spice.
What if Paul McCartney attended the night-time recording of Gimme Shelter with Merry Clayton?

He did attend. It's just that nobody there that night, including both Paul and Merry Clayton, had an (ahem) 'clear enough head' to actually remember it.
What if John Lennon had rewritten every single song on Walls And Bridges so that none of the songs, including their titles, included a single letter 'E'?
