BonzosBirthdayBash Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 http://kroq.cbslocal...me-kingofbeats/ <------ link to vote They’re literally the heartbeat of their bands, providing the rhythm that powers the music of bands from all genres. From the legendary stomp of late Led Zeppelin bash-master John Bonham to the intricate complexities displayed by Rush’s Neil Peart to the hip-hop-influenced punk beats of Travis Barker, the list of legendarily talented rock drummers is as varied as it is vast. In a musical world where DJs, drum machines and computer-generated beats continue to encroach on the realm of actual drummers, these trap-masters and their bands keep it real with flesh and blood rhythms. Narrowing the field down to 40 (or so) of the best beat-keepers to ever rock a kit, it’s your votes that will determines who reigns supreme as the single greatest rock drummer of all-time. Support your favorite drummer in the poll linked above! Go VOTE!!! Bonzo deserves top spot without a doubt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledded1 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Seems Travis Barker has a lot of fans. He wouldn't be in my top 100 but then I like John Henry Bonham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Historian Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 They listed Bonham's passing as 22 years gone...WTF, do these people do ANY homework before they create a poll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Historian Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Seems Travis Barker has a lot of fans. He wouldn't be in my top 100 but then I like John Henry Bonham. My brother is a better drummer than that clown....seriously-he is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonzosBirthdayBash Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Rock Historian: Right???!!!??? Sheesh! Dallas Knebs: Bummer you couldn't vote ... wonder why? And no, Karen Carpenter was not on the list. Travis Barker has the young vote I guess but when looking for quality in a drummer, it's Bonzo every freakin' time I tell ya!

Strider Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Since KROQ is the co-sponsor of this poll, it might help you to know that KROQ's playlist runs along the lines of Arctic Monkeys, Weezer, Green Day, Queens of the Stone Age, Arcade Fire, Sublime, Sunny Day Real Estate, The Killers...and yes, Blink-182. Led Zeppelin, Rush, Cream, and other so-called 'classic rock' bands are not on their playlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
