List of five...list of five...listoffive-five-five-five-ififififififiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

fi-fi-fi-fi-fi-five-five-five-five-five.........

Easy, dude. I chose to vote for drummers that managed to really stand out to me. If there were only three, so be it. Just don't award any points for a 4th or 5th pick. But if you insist....

4) Rick Allen, Def Leppard. Props to the one-armed bandit.

5) Tommy Lee, Motley Crue. Doesn't really stand out to me for his drumming, but you gotta appreciate him for allowing the video of him and Pamela fall into the wrong hands.

Call me traditionalist, but 5 is the norm.

Cheeky little fuckhead aren't I?

Anyway, I'll give points to those two dudes because my word is the law.

1. Phil Collins
2. Nicko McBrain
3. Ginger Baker
4. Clive Burr
5. Mitch Mitchell (funny name )

Well,
1: Jimmy Chamberlain (SP)
2: Matt Walker (SP - Adore, James Iha)
3: Phil Selway (radiohead)
4: Larry Mullen (U2)
5: Bill Berry (ex-R.E.M.)
Richard Spencer (nodemons) *****
