I see what you mean, but:

1) What about Steven Wilson and Time Flies?
2) Who's Al Weber

[JKL2000]

Ok, since not surprisingly I'd never heard of Spoon (have you guys?) I looked them up on Wiki, and saw their drummer is named Jim Eno. Do you think Eno is his real last name? (I looked up Brian Eno, and at his christening he was named Brian Peter George, and according to Wiki he now goes by the name of Brian Peter George St John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno. So did Jim Eno change his last name to a name that Brian Eno made up for himself?

Wiki also says "He was ranked 31st in Stylus magazine's list of fifty greatest rock drummers." About 15 places ahead of Billy Cobham. Here's the list, it's a little crazy, but maybe not off the map:

50. Rat Scabies
49. Damon Che
48. Janet Weiss
47. Brian Chase
46. Billy Cobham
45. Lol Tolhurst / Boris Williams
44. Grant Hart
43. Hal Blaine
42. Gary Young
41. Ziggy Modeliste
40. Mik Glaisher
39. Tony Allen
38. Igor Cavalera
37. Jeremiah Green
36. John Densmore
35. Hugo Burnham
34. Zach Hill
33. Steve Shelley
32. Reni
31. Jim Eno
30. Clyde Stubblefield
29. Brendan Canty
28. Al Jackson, Jr.
27. Yoshimi P-We
26. Ringo Starr
25. Levon Helm
24. Jimmy Chamberlin
23. Bill Bruford
22. Neil Peart
21. Larry Mullen, Jr.
20. Bill Berry
19. Joe Easley
18. Mitch Mitchell
17. Bill Ward
16. Ginger Baker
15. Klaus Dinger
14. Glen Kotche
13. Tony Thompson
12. Chris Frantz
11. Dave Lombardo
10. Bernard Purdie
09. Moe Tucker
08. Stewart Copeland
07. Topper Headon
06. Dave Grohl
05. Stephen Morris
04. Charlie Watts
03. Jaki Leibezeit
02. Keith Moon
01. John Bonham

But has anyone heard of Jim Eno? For some reason Wiki's page on him give a lot of production credits and such, but no album credits.

Ringo is better than Billy Cobham according to that list, BTW. Oh, lists - you always crack me up!

[ronmac]

^^ That list is beyond silly.

[rcarlberg]

Bonham at #1? ‘Nuff said.

+1

I'm guessing the same contributors would put Mr. Page in the top five.

[JKL2000]

Larry Mullen Jr. could teach Neil Peart and Bruford a thing or two, apparently!

[Casey]

Sorry. I meant to type in AL Weber as in Andrew Lloyd Weber.

[JJ88]

^^ That list is beyond silly.

Rufus will love it though- a 'drummers poll' with no Phil Collins. Yet it does include Mo Tucker. Huh?

[JKL2000]

Sorry. I meant to type in AL Weber as in Andrew Lloyd Weber.

Ohhh, I should have realized!

2) Who's Al Weber

Holder of an amazing, infamous hotdogstand at the corner of Pottyflop'n'3rd. in downtown Bethesda, Ohio. Became legendary for his particular brand of caramel mustard, known partly as Choco-Canal or the Musturd. He even authored a bestselling biography on the product, the Diarrhea Diaries. Ed Morse bought a copy, and he's a criminal prog musician (member of the notorious Morse-horseracing family syndicate).

FWIW; any drummer-list which has Glenn Kotche, Damon Che and Zach Hill on it is OK by me. Of course, this one had Maureen Tucker as well. SHe's apparently better than both Hill and Che.

Al Weber has at least a Prog credit for releasing an album with Colosseum II and Phil Collins..

LOL - And where's Meg White?

2) Who's Al Weber

Didn't he invent the charcoal grill?

[moecurlythanu]

Fixed.

[Casey]

^ Oops! Didn't do my homework.

[progcd54]

Where's Karen Carpenter?

[Steve F.]

Damon was awfully great in his prime-time....

[chalkpie]

Not ONE Zappa drummer on that list? I hope they were shooting crystal meth into their pupils when they made that list (for their own sake). <--The last word is sake (the Japanese rice wine), used as a metaphor.

I do like seeing Jaki on there though

[chalkpie]

the Diarrhea Diaries.

Signed hardcover? My copy really stinks. The pages are very loose.

(I looked up Brian Eno, and at his christening he was named Brian Peter George, and according to Wiki he now goes by the name of Brian Peter George St John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno. So did Jim Eno change his last name to a name that Brian Eno made up for himself?

Brian Peter George was his given name, but Eno is his real last name. (Brian's, that is, I don't know about Jim.) The "St John le Baptiste de la Salle" part came from a Catholic school Eno attended where the pupils adopted that as part of their name.

I get it, thanks!

[3LockBox]

I love Spoon. Got all their albums.

Perhaps he's referring to Andrew Lloyd Webber..

[JKL2000]

Yep, it's been confirmed, thanks!
