Chuck Berry damn near invented the whole genre of "rock" music. If he hasn't earned the right to play until he drops dead on stage then I don't know who has.

If anyone
should be called overrate it's Keith Moon. Loonie Moonie acts like such a smacked ass, and plays the same **** over and over on drums. Moonie might influential (no accounting for taste or talent) for some drummer, but besides acting like a lunatic he doesn't really bring anything new or important to the art of drumming. Roger Daltrey seems decent as front man singer/performer, but the rest of The Who are bunch of megalomaniac making a horrible racket. It seems that people are willing to listen to bad rubbish just to hear Roger sing.
Bill Bruford and Carl Palmer are favorites of mine but I wouldn't rank them higher than Neil. Jim Gordon suffers from Schizophrenia and is in jail.
My favorite drummers, but I'm not ranking them higher than Neil Peart, I don't see them as better, just having different approaches to the art of drumming.
Elvin Jones
Jo Jones
Gene Krupa
Joe Morello
Mel Taylor
Ringo Starr
Charlie Watts
Hal Blaine
Mitch Mitchell
Bill Bruford
Carmine Appice
Jim Capaldi
John Bonham
Carl Palmer
Billy Beard
Phil Collins/Chester Thompson
Stewart Copeland
Larry Mullen, Jr.
Chad Smith
Chad Sexton
Matt Cameron
Todd Roper
Carter Beauford
Parker Griggs
Benny Greb
