Since I asked about the singers, now I'll ask about the drummers.

I picked Neil.

Neil is THE MAN. I actually just got back from the Rush concert in Vegas. I tell you he has at least another good thirty years on him :P

John Bonham. There is no contest there. Keith Moon is the only man who could ever stand up to John's utter and complete rockitude. Rest in peace, John.

No one compares with Bonham!
Whereas The Who could replace Moon; Bonham was unreplaceable.
Peart is awesome, but in context Rush is no Led Zepplin.

Amen, my brother in Led.

I'll go with Bill Bruford.

As for Bonham or Peart, I couldn't decide because their styles are so different - they're like apples and oranges. Love 'em both.
