A vote for anyone but Bonham or Moon is hard to justify, for this group at least. I don't think Matt Sorum or Dave Grohl really belong. If we are going to just assume its Rock we're talking about, I would add Ringo Starr, Bill Bruford, Steve Gadd, Chad Smith, and Stephen Perkins to name a few. But Bonham was probably the greatest, no matter who you include. I don't really care for Led Zeppelin much at all anymore, but I love listening to him still. Most of the best drummers are in Jazz though.

Christ, hard to decide between Bonham and Moon.

I'll say Keith just for the performance/explosion on Smothers Brothers in the '60s. :lol:

I'd also add Ginger Baker of Cream and Neil Peart of Rush to the list, both fantastic drummers.

Moon for sheer originality...for basically reintepreting entire pieces of music through the drums. For the sheer spectacle of his performances..absolutely no one to beat him. There might be technically better drummers than moon in the same way there are technically better guitar players than Hendrix but when push comes to shove, everybody knows who really cuts the mustard :):)

No one ever mentions Cozy Powell :lol:

weak list composed mostly of classic rock drummers; there's much better drumming in other genres.

kashikura takashi (toe).

terry bozzio (frank zappa).

chad wackerman (frank zappa).

john french (captain beefheart).

zack hill (hella).

jon theodore (the mars volta).

damon che (don caballero).

Not sayin' he better than a Bonham or Moon, but Chad Smith rocks my socks the most of today's drummers. Can funk out and wail with equal skill...

Out of that list, Keith Moon.

Also like Tommy Lee (Motley Crue), John Fred Young (Black Stone Cherry), Roger Taylor (Queen), Neil Peart (Rush), Mitch Mitchell (Hendrix Experience) and Bonham. Plus others I've forgotten.

Good pick on Tommy Lee.

He probaly is more known today for his "celebrity", than his music, but people shouldn't forget how talented he is.

Maybe Top Ten of Alltime.
