It's odd to me that Roger as a drummer is criminally underrated, he rarely appears in 'greatest drummer' lists, and yet Queen were one of the biggest bands ever. Yes, Freddie's charisma played no small part in that, but it took the four of them to really make it work on such a large scale.

I know for a fact that a great many professional (and well-known) *drummers* realize how great Roger is. It just seems that the critics and the public are a little slow on the uptake on that count.

i think the "critics" like artists that are dedicated to the one instrument. hence, you get Baker, Bonham, Moon, Peart, Paice et al being talked about.
Conversely the drummers who (like Roger) started off wanting to play guitar, or went on to play guitar later (Grohl) - never appear in the critics' greatness lists.

Being second fiddle to the greatest frontman of all time, it's bound to happen.
Hell, even Roger Daltrey's solo career didn't really take off. Nor did Keef's nor Mick's.
I guess there's just no algorithm for these things.

Ok, since the other site Isn't active I'm here. I was Just On my facebook page and someone posted best Drummers and he mentioned Roger In his top ten. Obviously I chimed In how underrated he Is. A top Drummer, songwriter and one of the best Drumming singers In rock history. How doesn't he get mentioned more? Underrated Indeed.
