As with most lists, I suspect readers/fans will find some they agree with (Kieth Moon of the Who, John Bonham of Led Zeppelin) with others they don’t agree with.

I was intrigued and delighted that Stewart Copeland of the Police was included in the list as I’ve always felt he was a large reason for that band’s success.  Yes, front man/lead singer Sting was a hell of a charismatic presence and was responsible for much of their output, but Copland’s drum work really keep the songs moving, something that later Sting solo efforts lacked, at least IMHO.

Another one: Ringo Starr from the Beatles.  He did some great work in songs like these:
