I know, but as every Beatles fan knows he said it with tongue firmly in cheek. Oh, that famous scouse wit. Ringo's reputation has also been revised over the past few years with quite a few drummers saying he was actually very good.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

Sept '69 Edited by eagleman13 (07 Dec 2023 7.07pm) The Late John Lord was a magnificent classical trained keyboard player and his inter play with Blackmore was superb, "Lazy" being a great example.

I think that it is recognize among Drummers the Neil Peart and John Bonham are the 2 best drummers of all time, Gene Krupa comes in as best Jazz drummer and Stewart Copeland and Billy Cobham are also highly rated

Totally agree about Jon Lord. Totally revolutionised the use of the Hammond organ. Listen to Deep Purple's Hard Lovin' Man. Blackmore and Lord's guitar/Hammond organ solo interplay is phenomenol. Also, for me UFO are to me such an underrated band. With Schenker they were out of this world. The way Schenker's guitar works so melodically behind Phill Mogg's vocals is beautiful. Not mention Paul Raymind's keyboards and Pete Ways' bass playing. Great band!

My favourite drummer was always Mick Tucker from The Sweet. He was superb.
