43. Ringo Starr of The Beatles - When asked if Ringo was the best drummer in the world, John Lennon quipped: “He’s not even the best drummer in The Beatles.” As seemingly the weak link in a band of unrivalled talent, Ringo quietly went about his business, solidly supporting in one of pop’s most varied catalogues of songs. His work on ‘Come Together’, amongst others, shows an underrated craftsman at work, and a key ingredient in the band’s success.

- Ginger should have been a HELL of a lot higher up on this list. But yay for Keith :)
- Although I’m a huge Beatles, Stones, Cream, etc. fan, I agree with alot of the picks but I think Charlie Watts should be in the top ten!! He’s not only one of the greatest ”Rock ’n’ roll” drummers (even though he is quoted as saying ”I hate Rock ’n’ roll”, but he is also one of the top Jazz drummers from his era. If you can tell me of another drummer who has sat through 30 hr. Rock sessions (In the Seventies) and is as steady as a drum
remi, brendan canty should be on there
- Jim Keltner, Jim Gordon, Hal Blaine, Trey Cool, Pat Wilson would all be in my personal top 10. Meg White and the one-armed guy? Ridiculous!
