OK - What'd I do wrong here?

There was a problem completing Related=http://videosift.com/video/Rush-Limelight request.

Peart, Terry Bozzio, Ginger Baker and Kieth Moon have always been my favorites for sheer energy in execution, improvisation, and texture. John Bonham was fun to listen to and watch, too. Surprisingly, I sat mesmerized by Charlie Watts at this show in 79' in Dallas where the band was Page, Clapton, and Beck all jamming with Entwistle on bass and Watts on drums. He looks like a tax collector sitting there but busts out an incredible envelop of rhythm with the precision of a Swiss timepiece on a minimalist kit.

Oh and fuck me, almost forgot Carl Palmer, of ELP. Amazing.

Moving this video to deathcow's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Neal along with Bill Bruford and Stewart Copeland are my top 3.

Just as a dissenting opinion, I have to say I'm really not a fan of Peart. Yeah, he's an incredible technician, but for me he lacks the groove of Bonham or Buddy Rich.

OTOH, Rushs music bores me to tears (I hate that vocalist) so maybe I'd enjoy him more with a different band.
