My favourite drummers are Bill Bruford (cross-cultural, awesome jazz- and rockdrummer), Terry Bozzio (the most complete drumsound ever), Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree) and Virgil Donati.

There is tuba all over that Lou Reed record. "Goodnight Ladies". Oh, you meant Transformer. Gotcha. Yeah, there's some tuba on "Goodnight Ladies". Also "Make Up". |

The deal with Ringo is that it's hard to imagine any other drummer or drum technique used in those songs because all those songs are great as it is and are so imprinted in our psyche that you wouldn't have a clue how else they could sound if they were played by another drummer. "Why Don't We Do It In The Road" I believe is in fact Paul playing drums and not Ringo. |

I remember when I didn't know that Paul played drums in the White Album, and thought that the drumming in "Dear Prudence" is so awesome and anyone who says Ringo is a mediocre drummer must be out of his mind.
Having said that, I think he and Paul laid down some awesome grooves in Abbey Road.

I'd rather hear mediocre players perform a great song than listen to pointless wankery. Me, I'd rather hear great players playing great songs than mediocre players playing great songs, but hey, whatever floats your boat. I certainly have no desire to impugn your love of mediocre musicians. |

Of course, Sunny Day Service were one of my favorite Japanese bands of all time, and they weren't exactly the most proficient musicians in Japan. But damnit they still rocked.
Holzman, I don't know why you keep bringing up the "it's better than wankery" point. I personally don't think that a little wankery isn't bad, but still, that's like saying "well yeah, he may be a detestable dickhead but he's better than serial killers."

I mean, do you automatically associate great musicianship with wankery? You don't, do you? Because I mean, that's stupid. Tell me you don't think that way.
Aw fuck it, I know you don't. I have faith in you. Which makes it all the more puzzling to me that you keep bringing up the wankery issue.
You voted for Topper Headon though, so it's all good. I love Topper.
But don't think that I've let you off the hook completely. The next time that you trip and fall while carrying a cup of coffee, you can bet your ass that I'm the one who caused it. I carry a mean grudge.

Let me rephrase then ...
I'd rather listen to Prog-Rock a thousand times
rather than Punk ...

You know, I used to detest prog rock, but I think I have a much more open mind than I used to - maybe I should check out some of that stuff.
