I say taking all the different qualities that define 'best' into consideration- John "Bonzo" Bonham.
I agree on both counts...I dig the new foo fighters tune, and anyone who appreciates music can see Phil Collins' contribution...He's a bit of a dickhead, but Phil Collins, I grudgingly say, has a good ear for rhythm, but he's going deaf now apparently.
Dave Grohl, again, he's not going to be the best. But singing and playing all the instruments pretty much for the first Foo Fighters album. He's got a great sense of humour too; his music video's (I don't know who Directed them??) are classics, especially in the mid 90's with the success of MTV (a phenomenon that I still can't decide on).

Stewart Copeland also smashed up Sting's ribs with a guitar (someone needed to do it), That gets my vote.
Ginger Baker! Fantastic Drummer, but a cnut of a man!
I agree. Zeppelin is also my favorite band so that kinda makes me like biased.I say taking all the different qualities that define 'best' into consideration- John "Bonzo" Bonham.
Love it! Did not know that about the tin foil...thanks for that music tidbit. ?John Bonham
Mickey Hart for creativity and overall percussion skill
Stewart Copeland
Butch Trucks and Jaimoe from the Allman Bros.....
Neal Peart is amazing....
Hard to pick one because they all have different styles. I would have to say Neal Peart is probably the best after seeing Rush in Greensboro, Nc last year....the still jam pretty good. My favorite band of all time is Led Zeppelin....I love how insane Bonzo is....used to put tinfoil in the bass drum to get some thundering sounds.
And last Dave Lombardo from Slayer....anyone who can drum that freakin fast gets my vote. Good Googily Moogily that guy can set a wicked pace for some good thrash metal.
yeah that documentary was good . yeah he never really had very popular groups compared to clapton or jack bruce. from what i could gather i think he lived a little more eccentric. definitely a free spirit and a pretty testy guy too lol. i mean by the end of cream even before they ended i think he was pretty much taking off to africa to start making world music. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for those artists that were kind of self destructive. a lot of musicians critics would say ohh they didn't do this or that they could've had a better career but that totally defeats the purpose of the art . some of his bands i think he was in to just 'get him by' and the rest of the time was out of the need to do what he wanted.Excellent choices I agree but what about Neil Pert from Rush? I also love Josh Dunn 21 Pilots. God you're bringing back some nostalgic memories with Primus! Ginger Baker is another great one! Did you see that movie on Netflix about him? I agree with you though Ginger Baker is on the top of my list! Can yo believe he's broke? That's how they portrayed him in the movie. It always seemed to me that Ginger could divide his brain and limbs into four independent machines that do whatever they want, precisely. He never knew the fame of Eric and it Saddens me. I bought an old Bakers Air Force album. But fortunately for me and my love of music I really appreciate your list. Pretty damn good job! Oh I went back and saw he was already mentioned sorry!
