I don't even like Radiohead, but I'll throw in a vote for this guy anyway. I'd vote for a three year old whacking a rattle on the floor over Larry.

really?
U2Man said:I think I'm gonna throw a vote for Larry. Just listen to Sunday Bloody Sunday, not many drummers can play like that

Prog rock drummers because they have solos and can play really fastU2Man said:I've seen both Larry and Phil been called average drummers in this thread. If that is so, who do you regard as amazing drummers then?

MIKE PORTNOY.
I don't think there's any competition with Portnoy. He's just too good at what he does. Just listen to the intro to 6:00! Sure, the guy may play prog metal, but he comes up with some immensely memorable stuff and knows songcraft as well as the technical aspects of drumming.

John Bonham > *
Regardless of technical skill (and he possessed it), nobody had a better musical sense. The random fills this guy threw in are just wonderful. It can't even be paired down to the old 'technical skill vs sloppyness' caveat that people go after Page's playing with. Bonham was loud, groovy, and perfect.
50% of the credit goes to Jimmy Page's ace studio production though.
