Bill Ward is hugely underrated. Early Sabbath is strong music.

And of the classic rock era, I have drummer Carl Palmer, of Emerson Lake and Palmer fame, in the mix.

I got to see Carl Palmer live a few years ago. Impressive.

Quote:One anecdote relates that in the mid-1980s, an intoxicated Jagger phoned Watts’s hotel room in the middle of the night, asking, “Where’s my drummer?” Watts reportedly got up, shaved, dressed in a suit, put on a tie and freshly shined shoes, descended the stairs, and punched Jagger in the face, saying: “Don’t ever call me your drummer again. You’re my ******* singer!”

HA!

And then there were 3. R.I.P. Charlie.

Dang, no more ZZ Top and now possibly no more Rolling Stones. RIP Mr. Watts.

The bass tech stepped in for Dusty and has done well. But no, it isn’t quite the same.

The Bill Dazzle personal favorites ranking of the five most legendary classic rock band drummers:

1A: John Bonham, Led Zeppelin

1B: Keith Moon, The Who

3.: Ginger Baker, Cream (hands down the best drummer on this list in terms of technical proficiency and jazz/world drumming skills)

4A: Ringo Starr, The Beatles

4B: Charlie Watts, The Rolling Stones

I'd say I concur if you add Neil Peart.
