Let me guess.
The top ten are mostly the super-flamboyant types
that bang away on thirty-piece drumsets.

yes sir pretty much, its a disgrace, mind you this is an all time list which makes it more ridiculous charlie is not on it

Where's the list?

Keith Moon not at #1 (or even in the top 5) is just as disgraceful.

Charlie is not a rock drummer.

10) Nicko McBrain (Iron Maiden)
9) Alex Van Halen
8Stewart Copeland
7) Carl Palmer (Asia, ELP)
6) Phil Collins
5) Ian Paice (Deep Purple)
4) Ginger Baker
3) Keith Moon
2) Neil Peart
1) John Bonham

stones are a rock band , he qualifies so he should be on the list

putting phil collins on the list is as big a disgrace as leaving charlie off.give us a f--king break!!!!

Alright.... Nicko McBrain is on the list. \m/

Charlie aint a good drummer. He also agrees with this statement. Why should he be on any toplist?

Say what?

just because charlie doesn't show off by playing 20 min drum solos does not mean he's not a great drummer

The list is a joke without Dino Dinelli.

vh-1 is totally irrelevant. it may be worse than m tv at this point.

Neil Peart, should be #1 he is the greatest technical drummer around.
Charlie should be in the top ten for sure
Phill Collins #6, give me a break,imo he is not even top 20.
With the rest no arguments.

"No dope smoking no beer sold after 12 o'clock"

A very old-fashioned list!

Bonham is No 1 course of that Zep craze.

And there are better drummers these days than G. Baker . .

Well, Charlie - technically he's not even in the Top 1000 list.
But of course he's Charly and great for what he is!

charlie is perfect for the stones, but he is not really a good or inovative drumer. he's just charlie and thats cool enough. but compared to bonham (for me the hendrix of drumming) charlie is....well kinda limmited.

When such a list do include at least one of either Bosse Skoglund,
Sören Berlev or Istvan Szábo (the drummer)...
I'm gonna consider reading it. Enough of ethno-/anglo-centrical thinkin' out there already...

Go - tell that Brian . .!

Most of the people in this board feel that Stones are some of the worst musicians out there compared to their status and I just don't get how you can you hear music from people that you think they suck.

I don't agree that most of the people who read this board say that any member of the band "sucks"...

That said, IMO the Rolling Stones are a good example of something that is greater than the sum of its individual parts.

Here's what it comes down to-- Charlie is not a "drummer" he is a musician, and that means he plays what the SONG asks for, with no regard for his own ego etc. A team player will always elevate the final product. Go Charlie Go! and being humble is always a good thing! Have a nice evening!

Of course we should hear every opinion but I wonder sometimes ,if other fan clubs for other bands etc. bash their members so much as here.

these polls are usually whacked; tv polls, magazine polls, etc...
Charlie Watts is a masterful drummer. He is directly responsible for shaking more asses than any other human being ever in the history of the planet.
He is the core of the band; he is subtle but he is almost ALWAYS up to something if you listen; he punctuates constantly and drives the beat...
he's totally authentic as a jazz stripper drummer, which is essentially what a lot of the jag theatrics are about...mick reacts physically to the drums in his magic little dances, fingers frantic and in time with cymbal fades even...

he knows when to go for the toms, and he's not afriad of them...he plays straight ahead but it's always got swing. he's ALERT and reactive and will double up on the hat and raise the dynamic and heat in a hearbeat; he fills a lot but he, as someone above mentioned, plays in service of the song. a very truly basic service of the trade that a lot of even really good 'technical' musicians miss...
charlie is modest and has talked of how easy his job is if he just watches keith, but in truth i think keith is getting the fuel from charles, and you can always see, even from the very beginning on live tv, keith locking into charlie and half or fully turned toward him...often right in front of him.
it's beyond personal chemistry of the band. charlie really has it.
he is g-dam exciting...he moved the world...jeeze louise...rt. 66 from camden in 1964 proves he came in with it...it's masterful and infectious...
i think he plays melodious tom fills and is a wonderful, one of THE very few archetypical perfect rock and roll drummers of all time.
he is very creative; jeeze lousie dig it...he is ALWAYS up to something...just listen...he is singing as much as mick is...it's all there. he's incredible.

Phil Collins before Stewart Copeland?? What's happening to this world? Crazy people!

Can anyone name me one thing that Collins do better than Copeland...

Always hard to compare and Copeland really is a great drummer, but Phil Collins did a lot of superb things in Genesis. Especially in the seventies before they became a mainstream pop band.

I haven't forgot, Svartmer Nursery Cryme etc. But this has to do with stardom, and not musical abilities IMO.

larry mullin shouls be there as well
