    Did I seriously just see Phil Collins listed as the best hard rock drummer???

    He's a decent drummer, but nowhere near the top...

    I'm posting this not to rag on anyone, but because there's obviously something of his that I have not heard. Please share with me what you've heard that forms your opinion of him, I'd like to give it a listen- who knows, it may change my opinion as well.

    I think it would be neat to have a thread separate from this one to discuss the best musicians, not necessarily limited to hard rock either.

    I think I'll start that up so as not to derail this thread.

    I just put him in as a fine rock drummer. Not specific to Hard rock. I like your idea of a new thread for great musicians. There are so many truly talented individuals who never get their due.

    It's a done deal.

    Everyone, I've started a new thread "Best Musicians of All Time". Read the first post there to get a feel for how it works...

    That will keep this one from derailing, and also let people like myself who have favorites in other genres they want to share introduce their favorites to the group.

    Great idea. I have a diverse taste in music and have different opinions of who the "best/greatest" of any instrument might be, depending on the genre.

    I once saw footage of Nancy (or whichever one played the guitar) trading licks with Ted Nugent (mind out of the gutter there guys), and holding her own.

    You know he wanted to anyway! The blonde one who played guitar was HOT! I think her name was Nancy and the brunette singer was Anne, right?

    Hell, don't worry about it, I had it backwards at first anyway. And Nancy was and still is hot. She had a body that oozed sex back in the day.

    Okay, I'll concede Motorhead. But please no Iron Maiden, Anthrax, and the sorts. I like my metal also, but this is hard rock/blues.

    Okay guys and gals, so far Polkmaniac is in the lead. He has intrigued me enough to go out and purchase a Dream Theater cd. And although the one I bought,"Awake", isn't my cup of tea, I still gave them a listen. I will spin it again tonight and if I decide not to keep it, I'm gonna throw it in with the LZ cd. You have til 5:30 pm central Friday to convince me otherwise. Give me some substance. Make me want to spend my $$$.

    I'm gonna have to close this out a little early. I might not be around a computer @5:30.

    Congrats to PolkManiac. He was the most passionate about his opinions. He made me want to go out and get a DT cd. And though I didn't enjoy "Awake" very much, I'm not gonna give up on them yet. I'm gonna try out another one of their releases this weekend and report my opinions afterward.

    I believe it was most obvious that the majority agreed that Led Zeppelin is the "Best Hard Rock Band" of all time. It is an extremely subjective subject, though, with many different opinions. It was alot of fun discussing our different ideas on whose the best. We did this without ripping one another a new
    a__whole, also. We all showed respect for each other's opinions. I thought that was great. One could express his thoughts without someone ragging him/her on what they like or dislike. We'll need to do something like this again soon.

    Please continue to post to this thread when ever you discover/uncover new or not so new talent. I know I appreciate discovering a new band/artist's music and like to share it with others.

    Have a good weekend,

    Noel

    Not from me. Nuno is on hell of a badass guitarist. Pornografitti is a great album. Not real crazy about their later albums tho. I did really hate their drummer tho.

    I liked the album before Pornografitti, I think the same of it was simply Extreme. Came out like in '89 or so.
