In those terms I probably would rank Youth higher. I do definitely admire him quite a bit as a producer. But when I was doing those rankings I was thinking more in terms of which components I enjoy the most in a given KJ song, not so much writing or production duties. I honestly like all the members I listed a hell of a lot so it was hard to rank them at all, but I put Grohl where I put him because his drumming on the one album he was on is so mind-blowingly good to me that I feel he deserves special mention even though he was just filling the seat. The funny thing is I really never even gave Grohl much notice as a drummer until I heard that album.

I don't know man, he's a fantastic drummer even when Rick Rubin isn't involved.
