I'm not going to bother going back to see which poster made the silly criticism of the thread starter. How long has it been since this many celebrities dies in a single year?

Kelly Preston was listed on the original compilation - seen in the very first post in this thread. You've never heard of Neil Peart? Just because you haven't, doesn't mean he isn't famous you fukking wet sock. He's regarded as the best drummer of all time. Good enough for you? Douche. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not a huge fan either but that's mainly because of Geddy's awful falsetto voice and to a lesser extent because some of the lyrics written by Peart are based on his being a devotee of Ayn Rand's bat shit crazy philosophy. All three members of Rush were virtuosos back in the day but Alex Lifeson hasn't been able to be that prolific for 20 years or so because age has made his fingers a bit stiff. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I couldn't care less how Readers Digest ranks drummers. But if that helps you sleep at night you do you. Dude couldn't hold Bonham's fifth of whiskey or Keith Moon's horse tranquilizers.
