I would replace Dennis Chambers with Keith Moon (the best rock drummer ever), and Gary Husband with Jon Hiseman (or John Marshall), but apart from that ... spot on! Colaiuta is my fave of all. Saw him last year with John MacLaughlin and Chick Corea, but his work with Zappa was stellar.

Ringo's drumming on the "Plastic Ono Band" alone would make him one of history's greatest drummers. The way he was locked in with Klaus Voorman and the tasty sound of his snare on that record was amazing. The sparse arrangements meant he had a lot of room, and he absolutely shines. Give me a simple Ringo fill any day over the usual pyrotechnics.
Hey, and what about Hal Blaine?

No wonder you and I seem to agree musically more than some of the others. I read some of the posts in this thread and wonder how the posters can like the Stones. Not that one can't enjoy various styles of music..
