I already did like 50 times. The poll seems to getting votes from little kids who don't know who Queen is. That is why the drummers of The Killers and the Smashing Pumpkins are doing better than Mister Roger Taylor.

Love Rogers drumming - very distinctive style. As for him being the the greatest drummer of all time, my vote would probably go to Keith Moon or maybe Buddy Rich.

Smashing Pumpkins? Really?
You make it sound like they are a new band or that their fans are little kids. I don't know any little kids who even know about Billy Corgan's band. Saw them in Mexico City and Monterrey last year and most of the audience were 25-35 years old.
I like them a lot. Many of their songs are timeless: Tonight Tonight, Muzzle, Cherub Rock, 1979, Ava Adore, etc. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness has to be one of the best albums in the 90's. A double album and it was only their third album. I wished Queen had done that with ANATO and ADATR.
Back on topic, Chamberlin is good. Lots of snare drum rolls and a solid beat, but Roger is certainly a better drummer and more distinguishable as well.

you seriously think Roger is the best drummer ever? delusional and blinkered!!!!
Queen were great because of the "sum of the parts"...Freddie was not the greatest piano player, Brian certainly not the greatest guitarist, nor John the greatest bass player....and Roger was nowhere near the greatest drummer....
have you neve rheard of Keith Moon, Ian Paice, John Bonham, Cozy Powell? - all greater than Roger
Roger is an excellent drumer, but "the greatest drummer of all time" ? No way

Brian is one of the greatest, if not the greatest...
Rodger is now in 5th.
Roger it's hardly the greatest drummer of all times, but it's certainly the greatest influence in my drumming. The man is a master for me. I'll vote daily.
In the other hand, Neil Peart below this who--knows-his-name from The Killers might be a joke. And not a funny one.
Ronnie Vanucci better than John Bonham?????who voted there?

Neither is the guy from The Killers or The Smashing Pumpkins.

lol, i agree. Don't forget neil pert was and is way better than roger. He's a very good drummer, though not one of the best. Queen were one of the all time best for their songwriting ability. Not many bands could match them.
