For me...

Bruford = Carey > Peart = Lopez


Bruford is the granddaddy of prog drummers.

Yeah. He's played for Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, UK, National Health, Gong, etc and he's had various projects like Bruford Levin Upper Extremities with bassist Tony Levin, trumpeter Chris Botti and guitarist David Torn and his current jazz band Earthworks, he also played with Alan Holdsworth for a good while in the late 70s/early 80s. He's the hardest working man in prog business

Bruford should be treated like a god. Nobody laid a heavier groove than he.

Oooh 29/29. We need a tiebreaker.

Keith Moon wins, woop woop!!

Good idea i'll close the poll before we get some other dullard rush fan spoiling things.

Go buy a ****ing drum machine then. without moon there would be no peart

As to who's "better", it's a matter of opinion. So I'm not going to get in any arguments for or against either.

However, I definitely think it's a stretch to state that there would no Peart without Moon. That's an unprovable assumption.

Peart has been influenced by MANY drummers, in multiple genres of music. Moon was only one of quite a number who influenced him, and Peart still would've been a great rock drummer without him.

You're such a PC, sterilized, soulless, fence rider. The entire point of the post is to present your opinion as empirical fact, not waltz in like some high and mighty, pedantic, condescending encyclopedia. This site ain't big enough for two of us, and if I think you're bad...you're bad.

Moon.

Edit: While it could be said that Moon did amazing designes with red blue and yellow, he never touched green, black, and orange. While I do think its fair to say Moon did what he wanted, I don't think its fair to say he did it all. I don't even know that he could if he wanted to.

I'm taking that back. I've realized that green black and orange are boring.

I choose the pole which has a naked lady swinging on it.
