U2girl said:He may not be flashy, but his sound works for the band. Kind of like Adam, who is the luckiest guy in the band if technical ability and talent are concerned.

I just don't really get how you can still be a fan if you so passionately hate a member of the band?
And I hate to bring out the cliches... 'better than the sum of its parts' and all that crap but its so true.
I reckon Larry's fantasticI'd buy an album

Axver said:
Oh wow, this is easy, especially considering that Larry is one of the least talented drummers out there by any objective measure.
So here's some that blow him out of the water.
Jan Axel "Hellhammer" Blomberg oif Mayhem, Arcturus, Age Of Silence, Antestor, and what seems like every second black metal band in history. Even just the text of his nickname has more drumming talent than Larry. Hellhammer owns the drums.
Gavin Harrison of Porcupine Tree, plus his predecessor, Chris Maitland. Harrison has technical skill oozing out of his ears and a great sense of how to use it to complement the music rather than dominate it. In contrast, Maitland had a gorgeous organic style.
Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater, Transatlantic, OSI, Liquid Tension Experiment, etc. Regardless of what you may think of prog, the man sure can drum.
Neal Peart of Rush. Do I even need to say anything? This guy owns.
Dan Swanö of about 20,000 different bands. Prolific as hell and can play almost anything on almost any instrument under the sun.
Sean Reinert of Gordian Knot, Aghora, and especially Cynic. He was a crucial part of Cynic's groundbreaking Focus album (though Sean Malone's unparalleled bass genius is what really made the rhythm section legendary in my opinion).
Do I need to go on? I've got more. Martin Lopez (ex-Opeth), Andrew Courtney (ex-Pure Reason Revolution), Paul Hester (ex-Crowded House) ... the list is seemingly endless.

You forgot John Bonham and Keith Moon!
As for the original question, I have no idea. If you'd asked me this in 1983, I would have said a resounding yes! Actually I would have still said "no idea" since I'd have had no idea who they were in 1983.

Keith Moon is the best drummer in a popular rock band ever. Who else played with the guitar/vocals instead of the rhythm section?
Listen to A Quick One, While He's Away right now, it's some of the best drumming this side of Non-Progville.

You know this for a fact? I'd say the only person who knows what Adam can and can't do with a bass is Adam himself.
