that was a shame about Peart... always thought he was a tad bit overrated as a drummer (very one dimenional) but he had my immense respect as a person and surviving a double tragedy that might have destroyed many. I don't think I could have overcome such losses myself.
going with the still us theme though.. the last surviving member of next to Clapton, Baker, and Bruce perhaps the most talented group to ever grace rock.
behind Baker, and Moon as greatest rock drummers ever.. combines the sheer talent of Ginger Baker and the mad creativity of Moon
