Peart is easily the greatest “rock” drummer ever to play the drums. Period.

Rush has always kind of annoyed me so I'm not going to pass judgement on his skills as a whole, but on the word easily.

I would think John Bonham and Keith Moon both put up enough of a fight that he isn't easily the best drummer. And for me they were both in infinitely more listenable bands.

Problem with Bonham and Moon is they gave us barely 10 yrs worth of music.

Peart has given 33 yrs and still going. That is how I am able to form my opinion. He chose not to live his life like an idiot and drown himself to death in alcohol. But enjoy what its like to live and play as a living legend.

Bonham and Moon accomplished the recordings but never the glory and the maturity of musicians who last and record as long as Peart.

His most recent solo from 2007 is right here:
