These best musicians ever contests are so lame. The question actually answered usually is not who's the greatest at his instrument but rather "which reasonably good guitarist/bassist/drummer played in the most popular band?". With increasing popularity of the band the technical abilities and tasteful style of the musician becomes less important. There's no other explanation for why jerks like Kirk Hammett so frequently pop up in top ten guitarists lists like in Triple M's and Slash (who is pretty cool, actually) gets voted before Jimi Hendrix.

Rob is a really good and underrated rock drummer so he might actually belong in the Australian top ten drummers list, but since that seems to be an international vote... Sorry mate ;). I guess at present my vote would go to Danny Carey (Tool).

Cheers,

Stephan

Hey workers,
Triple M (Australian radio station for all the international workers) are taking votes for a "top 10 greatest drummers ever" list, how cool would it be to have Rob in the list, especially so at no. 1!

The link is http://www.triplem.com.au/melbourne/music/highlight/super-10s <http://www.triplem.com.au/melbourne/music/highlight/super-10s>, if you've got a couple of moments to spare put in a vote for Rob!
