That's a very similar list. I think there may have been a lack of originality from one of those authors.

I agree 7 through 1 should be considered but I don't necessarily think Peart is the best.

In fact, I was right the first time.

It's the same bloody list. Check your damn sources. Fool.

I think you have answered the why (Although, the beard is pretty impressive too)



I'm, actually, a bit of a fan of pre-A Trick of The Tail Genesis (or I prefer those albums). In fact, I was listening to 'Selling England by the Pound' on my way to uni this afternoon.


I am very aware of the fact you haven't mentioned Gabriel.

Loved all pre ''And Then There Were Three'' stuff.
Seen them 3 times and one of their tribute bands

For me Chester Thompson is / was one of the best drummers (was the drummer on many of the Genesis tours). Brilliant when he and Collins both played drums together on Dance on a Volcano.

Ginger Baker (Baker Gurvitz Army, Cream) was also awesome.
Jon Farriss - INXS
Rick Allen - Def Leppard
Nick Mason / Keith Moon etc etc

I don't deny he's a good drummer. The whole flipping band is special (not really to my taste). However, Palmer, Powell, Ginger, Bonham, maybe Ringo, and a few others would probably be that high in a lot of other lists.

Personally, which as I said originally is what this basically comes down to (due to style and preference), I don't agree Peart is the best. AS I said, Rush isn't my favourite band.

I thought this was rock not jazz?
Anyway, Cozy Powell was bildge. Ian Paice peed all over him in Whitesnake. He just......swung.
Also Neil Peart????
