Default What drummer was the better lyricist?
This thread is about what drummer is the better lyricist. It's not about a who is the better drummer.

Jim Capaldi - Traffic
Dave Clark - The Dave Clark Five
Phil Collins - Genesis, solo
Neil Peart - Rush
Ringo Starr - The Beatles, solo

I'm not sure if Neil Peart qualifies as a songwriter, he writes most of Rush's lyrics while Geddy and Alex write the intrumental pieces.

No he was writing songs & singing them when he was with Husker Du as well as playing drums.

Grant Hart wrote & sang his songs , Bob Mould did the same with his songs.

i raise you a Mickey Hart.

in all seriousness Tomas Haake is pretty sweet, he writes the majority of Meshuggah's lyrics and pretty much headmans the group.
