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





[/QUOTE]
Finally some sanity...

Glad to see I am not the only "delusional and blinkered" one here who thinks Roger is amazing.  Seems he is number two in this poll now with a score of 7.62

For those of you who were so inclined to let me know how bad you think he is...uhmm..where are Neil Peart (who overplays like a madman IMHO), Keith Moon, Ian Paice, etc.  Well....Neil and Keith are in 9th and 10th place respectively.  Ian Paice...no idea.

Just thought I'd update you with the good news. :-P

you're serious aren't you? i can tell. but still delusional and blinkered.

The reason Roger has climbed to no2, is because idiots make comments like "i'll vote for Roger daily"...how fucking absurd....what ever happened to "one man - one vote" ?

these polls mean f**k-all because of idiots who flood the boards...this poll and others like it have as much cred as GW Bush's "winning election" campaign...

i know this is all subjective...but how can vote count form people who "only ever listen/buy music by one band"?
but here' my subjective opinion

Brian is probably (at best)f5th or 6th best guitarist..behind.....page, blackmore, gilmour, rhoads, scholtz, townend, lifeson
Deacy - way behind, entwhistle, hughes, glover and waters
freddie keyboard skills? - maybe after elton, rick wright, jon lord
and poor old roger?....way way behind....paice, moon, cozy powell, bonham, peart,

as for queen? my favourite - yes. - best ? - NO!!!
second to beatles or maybe third to floyd

I happen to think Brian May is the best guitar player and not because I love Queen.  I love Brian's style of guitar playing, making every little solo fit perfectly within the song.  He might not play fast and/or difficult stuff but it is certainly difficult to match his sound.

You don't decide who is best and where certain musician's belong.  It's all a matter of opinion.  Neil Peart is the best in my opinion while Cozy Powell is the best in someone else's opinion.

whre the f**k did i say i decide who is best?
you really are a cretin...i even said here's MY opinion...and even used the word SUBJECTIVE...to help you understand that opinions and polls are not worth anything

but i'll tell you one thing i have over YOU....a vastly superior understanding of use of the English language...
when you finally learn how to articulate...come back and have a discussion...

Sorry.  I meant to add that to the other post I posted.  I didn't mean to quote you.  Sorry bout that.

Since I'm the one who made the "i'll vote for Roger daily" sort of comment, I assume that you are refering to me.
Without any interest to start an endless fight with someone I that I'll (hopefully) never know, my only reply would be:

Relax. Insulting people for free is a very bad habit, learn some netiquette and finally, get a life.

Back on topic, that poll is a complete joke.

Queen are my favorites by far, but I have them in 7th best of all time. Behind the beatles, the stones (Though I can't stand them) Zep, the who, hendrix experience, and maybe floyd. Queen and floyd probably tied for 6th. I disagree with you on brian may and alex lifson. I'm a rush fan, but brian is a better player than alex.  I have brian rounding off the top ten of guitarists.  Roger?...probably in the top 30 of the best drummers. The same for John.   I agree freddie isn't one of the top pianist, though he's still good.

finally, some reason round here...thanks Mike. Although we differ on opinions slightly...at least we both show objectivity as to why we think what we think.....

I like queen because of the sum of the parts...but i have to say that - as i did the other day - queen were by no means the greatest band ever. that title ALWAYS will belong to the beatles....ffs - Freedie Brian and Roger all cite the beatles as major influences.

i agree with you about Roger & John - but i would never have said 30th - as the flamers and sychophantic-stepfords would have coronaries...

i like to think that my musical taste is not "tunnel vision" - i can see hundreds of great bands...i love the new gen of rock/indie bands like Killers and KOL....there's also loads of worthy still around - like Chilis, Foos and U2..

somehow tho, the who, floyd, rush beatles will always be there....and although queen are my favourites - they will never be the greatest

as to the challenge from the "multi-vote" person....if you:-
[i] really think these polls are worth the internet/radio/tv space they occupy
and
[ii] think that voting "everyday" is democracy -

then you really have no idea of real life or anything of substance.....i suppose that when you exit puberty at the other end of your teens, you will probably decide on another cause to fight....
all i can say - is (as a youth of the 1970s) life was too much fun to take seriously, and do all that "my band's better than your band" shit.....just enjoy the music for what it is....fun

[i]http://www.nme.com/rate/thegreatestguitarriffofalltime/55

Greatest guitar riff and Brian is not even in the first 20!!!!they are completely deaph.[/i]

Neil Peart, anyone?

The guy from the Killers is actually quite good.

("All I said was that piece of halibut was fit for Jehovah")

well, maybe top 20 for roger and John.  Remember, they were also songwriters. I don't think some of these other drummers wrote songs like tenament funster and so on. I don't think moon was a writer.   I agree, Just enjoy the music.

Roger is at #3 ! [img=/images/smiley/msn/shades_smile.gif][/img]
