| Anyone who's ever tried "air drumming" to rock songs will tell you how hard it is to keep up with Moon. He was a mad genius, whose beats sometimes didn't seem to make sense, but unlike those of Neil Peart, they always did in the end. No one ever had more pure talent and innovation, and unlike many musical pioneers, his skills are just as unreal as they were in the 60's.

If you're a Rush fan (that's the band Rush, not Rush Magazine -- we already know you love us!) then you're wondering what happened to Neil Peart...or you think Charlie Watts is blatantly missing? How about Ringo? Well, let's just say that Ringo would have made it, if it wasn't for the fact that Paul played drums on the last track of "Abbey Road", which is easily the best drumming on any Beatles album. So let's hear the alternatives!
