We don’t recommend that song to new recruits, Grasshopper. People think it’s too weird and don’t give it a chance. It’s sad, but it's true, so we have to recommend falsetto compilations and such before the newbies can take on that level of the Queen experience.
@@jamie6506 yes his falsettos are just incredible. It's hard to drum ,try doing that while singing. His voice in I'm in love whit my car live at Montreal is soo f-ing good, best performance he did for the song.
I agree that he’s flipping incredible. But the non-queenies tend to think his 'car song' is too weird. Moral of the story, we’re throwing the coffee machine whether they like it or not.
@@Gracegalxc finally, I hate those "Look at these fan after watching the movie" guy like Roger is already an amazing singing drummer way before the movie.
@@Gracegalxc - So true. So many NEW fans were clueless before the movie. I was in my late 20's when Queen hit the scene. Roger was, as Freddie would say...DARLING! Loved The Beatles and Ringo too. Saw both bands live and both were amazing. Queen had technology in favor for their live concerts, The Beatles didn't and couldn't even hear each other on stage! Phil Collins was great live too. Queen built on groups like The Beatles and The Beatles built on those who came before them. Glam and camp like Freddie perfected built on Elton John and David Bowie. Queen and The Beatles were totally different and unique bands, two different styles, both creative and both great. I have to laugh at the "reaction videos" ..."Wow dude, dope and no auto tune, playing instruments too!" Well, no sh!t. It's called talent. Where is the talent now?
@@susieq9801 Thank god the movie did that though. You're incredibly fortunate to have been around back then and see those legends in concert, but for a whole generation of people who weren't born then and weren't parented right, the movie was the wake up call. Better late than never, right?
Could've used other songs for Roger. He kills it as Somebody to love, replaces David Bowie at under pressure live, not to talk about high falsettos in songs such as 'in the lap of the Gods' ,'39' and many others.
Here's a better list: #10: The Rev (Avenged Sevenfold) #9: Karen Carpenter (The Carpenters) #8: Brann Dailor (Mastodon) #7: Albert Bouchard (Blue Öyster Cult) #6: Phil Collins (Genesis) #5: Peter Criss (KISS) #4: Don Brewer (Grand Funk Railroad) #3: Levon Helm (The Band) #2: Don Henley (Eagles) #1: Roger Taylor (Queen) Honorable mentions: Dave Clark (The Dave Clark Five) Bill Ward (Black Sabbath) Tyler Stewart (Barenaked Ladies) Mickey Dolenz (The Monkees) Mick Tucker (Sweet) EDIT: Holy crap, 150 likes. This is a record for me EDIT AGAIN: Please let me know if there are any more singing drummers I forgot to add. Also, I’m not sure if Mick Tucker sang lead a whole lot. EDIT YET AGAIN: I accidentally listed the Rev twice. It has since been corrected.
IMHO the best drummer/singer on this list and for eternity was brother Levon! His drum chops were killer(if understated) but you could feel the soul, guts and feeling in every word he sang. R.I.P. Levon you wont be forgotten!
I love Sir Ringo but he definitely didn’t deserve to be above Roger on this list. He wasn’t very known for having a special voice. Rogers voice on the other hand was very unique and added something special to Queens sound
Agreed! I saw Buddy Rich in concert in Kansas City, 1976. Blew my mind. And he was a big fan of Karen! Her technical ability and natural FEEL for percussion was incredible. Couple that with her unmatched singing ability! I still choke up talking about her.
She had exceptional drumming chops, playing a more technical jazz style. (Even Buddy Rich was a fan) And she was blessed with a pure, effortless voice that was not just "distinctive", but unmatched.
Yes, indeed, she should have been considerably higher on the list. In terms of the strength of both sides of her dual role, she was at least the equal of anyone else on this list. Man, that short clip of her soloing there - girl had CHOPS, seriously. And she was certainly one of the most gifted vocalists of her era, perhaps THE most gifted. What a tragic loss, hers was.
6:55 "This guy most definitely did not fade into the background." *shows clip of Deaky bopping* Me: Indeed he didn't 😂😂😂 P.S. I know they're talking about Roger, I'm just kidding
As someone who grew up back in the day I can tell you that not only was Karen Carpenter insanely talented as a drummer, she also was the only one who sang lead on all The Carpenters songs. No-one else sang their songs in studio or when performing as the band was her and her brother Richard (who wrote many of their songs and was their composer). That's quite a feat and likely quite physically draining.
Brian: “when my hands on your grease gun” that’s very subtle Roger: iTs a mEtAphOr, bRiAN John: it’s just a bit weird, roger, what exactly are you doing with that car? Freddie: children, plEase, there’s only room in this band for oNe hysterical queen XD
@@oliviapaul1981 thanks for informing me. I had no idea.... that was not my arguement. He is not the lead singer the ones deserving of top spit should be lead singers. Not backup singers
Jorge Sequera I wouldn't say overrated. They have/are (if you call bri, roger, and adam queen) always been an amazing, amazing band. The movie just helped them gain a lot more fans
A better list #10 Roger Taylor #9 Roger Taylor #8 Rogah Taylah #7 roger #6 roger meadows Taylor #5,#4,#3,#2 Roger Taylor And last but not least..... Roger
so you're implying that Don Henley, the co-lead vocalist of the best selling band of all time and Phil Collins, one of the best drummers of all time, is not as good as Taylor, who undoubtedly had a great voice but very average drumming skills?
Roger Taylor is easily the best 'singing drummer' in rock history. A far better drummer technically than Phil Collins, almost as good vocally, and most importantly nobody could combine drumming and lead vocals to anything like the proficiency of Roger. Vocals - awesome, Drumming - awesome. Both at the same time. On numerous songs.
Roger Taylor and Phil Collins are clearly the two best Singer - drummers ever! Roger had an amazing solo career too. I would’ve put Phil and Roger as the top 2 my personal opinion. 🤩
yes, although I would have liked Roger further up, even #1 I agree...Collins had a huge singing career, whilst Taylor didn't 'establish' himself as a singer until he went solo...but you are equally correct, his solo albums are fantastic, he's an excellent singer and song-writer, if not '1 (as I think Collins for his huge solo repertoire alone should have this), he should have been EASILY 2, and well above Ringo 'blisters on my fingers' starr.
Karen Carpenter is by far the best singer on this list. To even put Roger on the same list is insanity. You are biased from watching a movie. Roger is definitely good, but Karen, Don Henley (who should have been #1) and Phil Collins are in a different league. Roger was not even the lead vocalist - granted he was backing quite possibly the greatest singer of all time. Roger is where he should be - maybe even a bit higher than he should be.
Caitlin Frawley don henley had a better solo career than both, he may not be the better drummer but he was the better singer. u guys are just fangirling/fanboying far too much
Roger should be higher.. he was one of the few that could vocally keep up with Freddie's range & he's an amazing drummer and songwriter.. definitely should be higher.. also Ringo at 4? WTF? list seems screwy/. both of them should be ranked higher
she could outdrum all of them. maybe im bias being a woman. too bad bonzo was scared to have a drum off with her. would love to see that. hey, i wonder if bonzo could sing
Totally dropped the ball by not adding the Rev in the Top 5. He was not only a pivotal part of A7X's vocals, but also a main lyricist. As well as one of the best drummers my generation has seen. An all around musician.
The guy had a hell of a voice, and could sing while not missing a beat on drums. I'm pissed he wasn't on the list. He deserves more than just a honorable mention.
my list 1:roger taylor 2: rings starr 3: whoever you want i’ve been a huge queen fan before the movie so don’t think about back chatting. (Get it? they have a song called back chat) haha
Okay- given the criteria, I agree that Phil Collins comes out at Number One. But to say "He's the genius behind Genesis" is kind of misleading. If you mean he's the genius drummer positioned behind Genesis onstage, okay- but Genesis was always a collective band. One could argue that keyboardist Tony Banks contributed the most towards creating their sound, but all the way back to before Collins was even in the band, they nearly always shared credit. "There must be some misunderstanding." Best to all.
Simply one of the purest, most beautiful voices ever. And a drummer of such technical accomplishments and feel that even the great Buddy Rich was a fan!
Since the 70s, people like to dismiss the Carpenters as a mere square pop duo... Karen's 8th placement in this list proves the huge snob to their talents. Super underrated.
@@karllansing7927 There might have been better drummers....but none of these people could touch Karen Carpenter's voice. It was unmatched. A gift from the Gods.
@Juancho Núñez so a stoner who didn't know where he was half the time asked another stoner who couldn't play for shit to play on his albums? and you think that's proof someone is good?!?! c'mon man! he probably only asked on his early albums cause he realised how naff Ringo was/is. even if it's made up, it's still true!
But why is Roger Taylor higher than Ringo? I love the Beatles and Ringo, but Roger Taylor, in my opinion, can not only sing better, he has a better vocal range AND can play drums, guitar and bass! Obviously not at the same time lol
Irrelevant Commenter ringo is a fantastic musician, but the beat in most of the Beatles is a fairly simple one, with a much smaller kit. Roger works with a heavy metal drum kit often so big it's hard to see him behind it all.
@@Fitzroyfallz Er....yes. Gene Simmons worked in bigger boots than McCartney ever wore ... but does that make him a better bassist? lol Seriously now, Roger Taylor seems to be far and away a better drummer, singer and even all-round performer than Ringo. AND that's from a Beatles fan of 5 decades standing - who doesn't really know a lot of the Queen repertoire. Any love for Stewart Copeland out there? Surprised to not even see an honorable mention for him.
"He's THEE genius behind Genesis"......Sorry but I beg to differ.There have been several geniuses behind Genesis going as far back as Anthony Philipps.Peter Gabriel,Steve Hackett,Tony Banks,and Mike Rutherford along with Phil ALL contributed greatly to the song writing and compositions for the band.I think that because Phil's solo career began to take off at the same time that Genesis became more popular in the 80's most people assumed that the band was just a vehicle for Phil,and it was all just a one man show.They assumed the other guys were merely his back up performers but this is definitely not the case.
They had 2 good records with him on Vocals, Trick of the tail, and Wind and Wuthering. Everything after that was garbage. Of course that's when they became wildly popular...
He wasn't even a member when the band got together. Historically, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford would "be" Genesis, because they've been in every lineup from "From Genesis to Revelation" to "Calling All Stations". But Genesis has always been a conglomerate of talented musicians, so their music changed when Collins joined, it changed when Gabriel left, it changed when Hackett left (in my opinion the worst loss of them all), and it changed when Collins left. Every lineup must be heard in its own right, otherwise you're doing the artists wrong. If in doubt, listen to Banks' and Rutherford's solo projects and hear how much of their personal sound is also part of Genesis' music. And how much of the sound is still left on "Calling All Stations". The progressive back bone of Genesis kept visible underneath the layers of pop.
Glad that Karen Carpenter was recognized for her drumming which is often overlooked because of her outstanding vocals. Shout out to Deen Castronovo of Journey who IMHO is still under-utilized and under-appreciated.
Phil was the right choice for #1. The man is a vastly talented musician's musician. It's so sad he can't play drums anymore. I grew up with him. Much love and respect for the great Phil Collins.
Brann Dailor of Mastodon should have been Number 1, and he doesn't even get a mention??? WatchMojo, take a listen to Oblivion, Dry Bone Valley, or Ember City and I guarantee you'll want to redo this list. Please.
Definitely missing as an honorable mention, and technically more challenging than any of the people on this list. But indeed, he consistently screws up live.
Roger Taylor and Ringo Starr both deserve better for me they're tied for first place but I can see why Phil Collins is at #1 here, the man is a fantastic drummer and singer
IF it matters, both wrote songs too. Collins is a great musician no doubt of it but he is unavoidable as much for his incredible commercial success. He went from being a Genesis man (progr rock, didn't really become anywhere near mainstream commercial til 1980,) while PC seems to have approached his post-Genesis career from a 'let's see how often we can hit NO 1' perspective. Can't argue - he was good, nay, exceptionally good at it. Not a man who's gonna die wonderin'.
I love the Beatles with all my heart but even I have to admit Roger Taylor either doing his amazing falsettos or his raspy voice sings way better than Ringo Star. I definitely would switch those positions...
Levon Helm's muse didn't malfunction on band naming day. The Band takes its name from when they backed Bob Dylan during his "electric" tour, headlining as Bob Dylan and The Band. Check yourself before you wreck yourself WatchMojo.
Suds They were The Band because hey all played several instruments and but Robbie Robertson ssng, they usually turned his microphone off. Levon wss the leader snd Robbe screwed everyone else by taking most of the money and all of the rights to the songs they wrote together.
Freddie’s vocals outshined Roger’s by a long shot. Phil Collins was not only the drummer of Genesis, but basically the lead singer too, so he honestly is placed right as number 1.
Dude, let the poor woman rest in peace. Being forced from behind the kit and the attendant pressures of being the focus of attention was one of the reasons she went down the anorexia road.
Andy M Not true. She was happiest behind the kit and fought to stay there, but pressure from execs wanted her front and center and not doing something so unlady like as drumming. I liked her best behind the kit.
"The Band" name was not a lapse of imagination - they were called that because in their early days they were a backing band, in fact THE BAND everybody wanted
The list should have focused on drummers whose voices led the band. Ringo wouldn't have made the list, along with several others. Karen would've landed higher.
Roger Taylor should have been #1 or even #2, honestly. The fact that Taylor was the one who would take over the high notes FOR the incredibly talented Freddie during many live performances while still doing his amazing drum work makes him deserve at least a bit higher than #4. Some of the sounds he could achieve were almost not human as well. An example being in Somebody to Love, which many would mistaken as Brian May's guitar.
Uno...Levon Dos....Ringo Tres...Karen Carpenter Cuatro.....Buddy miles Cinco......Pete Rivera...Rare Earth Both Levon and Pete have a very distinct voice that sets them apart from everyone else! Phill Collins at the one spot? Are you Fing kidding?
You've probably never listened to Genesis then. Listen to Dukes Travels/Dukes End, Dance On A Volcano, The Musical Box, Watcher Of The Skies and In The Cage. If you can't hear the greatness in Phils drumming there, you're probably deaf. His performances in those songs, and many more, is absolutely mindblowing.
+brogo ram Sure, I agree. To be fair, though, Roger Taylor sang about two leads per Queen album and has had several solo records over the years and lead his own band, The Cross for awhile.
+brogo ram I agree Brogo, fabulous singing voice/tone, and a competent drummer indeed (I don't think he had a very diverse drumming style, still he knew how to play for sure!)
That’s hilarious because queen was the first band I new and a week after the movie came out a guy played bohemian rapacity on piano and some girl is like your not as good as Freddie murcury butchering his name but saying it in the proud scenes like saying she bows queen
She was very good. Phil was a far more accomplished drummer, and probably the most accomplished drummer on this list. Add to that the huge success as a solo artist and singer of Genesis, and he is the clear #1 for me.
I wonder what would’ve happened if played on nightmare hail to the king and the stage I know he wrote on nightmare but I wonder how it would’ve sounded if he played on it
When Levon Helm can play jazz fusion, wake me up. Or big band. Or progressive rock. The most famous is the best drummer on this list, and the most versatile.
my list: #1 Roger taylor #2 Roger #3 Meddows #4 Taylor #5 Queen's drummer #6 Rog #7 The blonde from Queen #8 Rogerina #9 Carsexual #10 you already know

Yeah I always assumed she sucked..........Wrong
KC was the drummer of the year in 1975, she started as a jazz drummer which most of the great ones do, as far as her singing, the best.
Buddy Rich gave KC praise so she definitely played very well.

No-one else sang their songs in studio or when performing as the band was her and her brother Richard (who wrote many of their songs and was their composer).

She must have saved her drumming talent for use elsewhere, certainly not the Carpenters.

Roger Taylor must be doing good For Durran Durran if he's above Roger Meadows Taylor in your list :)
I only saw the top of the list and I thought you wanted Roger at #10 and I was like WHY
funny
so you're implying that Don Henley, the co-lead vocalist of the best selling band of all time and Phil Collins, one of the best drummers of all time, is not as good as Taylor, who undoubtedly had a great voice but very average drumming skills?
like don't get me wrong. i love Queen, one of my favorite bands. but as much as i love them, roger is not as a good drummer as collins
Clicked this video to make sure Roger Taylor was here. I was not disappointed.
David Somers was searching for this comment
Dude right? But know Collins waa first.
Hahaha, exactly! Me too ;-)
Same
Roger Taylor is easily the best 'singing drummer' in rock history. A far better drummer technically than Phil Collins, almost as good vocally, and most importantly nobody could combine drumming and lead vocals to anything like the proficiency of Roger. Vocals - awesome, Drumming - awesome. Both at the same time. On numerous songs.
Pretty hard to disagree with this.
But damn I miss Karen Carpenter.
I can't even imagine how many gorgeous recordings we would have now. Seriously makes me choke up to talk about her.
I came here just to make sure Roger was on top, cause he’s the actual best
Karen Carpenter was an outstanding drummer. Buddy Rich was even impressed with her drumming, and he normally didn’t like non-jazz drummers.
Karen is #1 on my list
She had the most solid vocals for an alto
i think she was a jazz drummer
Me:*clicks the video*
Roger appears in the list
Me:*that's all i'm happy* i just wanted him in the list :)
Smae
I love how we all thought of Roger Taylor immediately
Now, if we can get Phil Collins AND Roger Taylor to drum together... omg.
What’s that up there in the sky? Oh never mind, that’s just my snatched wig
Looks like it’s in orbit now
That would really be a good show for real. Awesome idea....
That would be awesome!
they did; 2002 Buckingham Palace Garden; find it under Queen + Beatles
Add don henley for a country feel
Roger Taylor and Phil Collins are clearly the two best Singer - drummers ever! Roger had an amazing solo career too. I would’ve put Phil and Roger as the top 2 my personal opinion. 🤩
yes, although I would have liked Roger further up, even #1 I agree...Collins had a huge singing career, whilst Taylor didn't 'establish' himself as a singer until he went solo...but you are equally correct, his solo albums are fantastic, he's an excellent singer and song-writer, if not '1 (as I think Collins for his huge solo repertoire alone should have this), he should have been EASILY 2, and well above Ringo 'blisters on my fingers' starr.
Karen Carpenter is by far the best singer on this list. To even put Roger on the same list is insanity. You are biased from watching a movie. Roger is definitely good, but Karen, Don Henley (who should have been #1) and Phil Collins are in a different league. Roger was not even the lead vocalist - granted he was backing quite possibly the greatest singer of all time. Roger is where he should be - maybe even a bit higher than he should be.
Go listen to some Rare Earth, Peter Rivera had a more powerful voice than anyone on this list, other than Levon Helm, who was my favorite on this list
Don henley is #1 in my book
Caitlin Frawley don henley had a better solo career than both, he may not be the better drummer but he was the better singer. u guys are just fangirling/fanboying far too much
Roger should be higher.. he was one of the few that could vocally keep up with Freddie's range & he's an amazing drummer and songwriter.. definitely should be higher.. also Ringo at 4? WTF? list seems screwy/. both of them should be ranked higher
Karen Carpenter only nr8? What were you thinking? She has by far the best voice of this bunch, and is a solid drummer!
she could outdrum all of them. maybe im bias being a woman. too bad bonzo was scared to have a drum off with her. would love to see that. hey, i wonder if bonzo could sing
ROGER NUMBER 5!?!?!?
Liddy :P Roger Taylor is The best no in The world but in The universe
Hold my beer.
Just where he should be. No higher and no lower
Ahem y isn’t he #1??
I would give him #1 because of his falsetto.
Don Henley and Levon Helm .. Legends
thats fucking hard to sing while drumming...these people are great..salute
Nobody gonna talk about Dave Grohl at Number 7? Man’s a living legend.
Right? Grohl deserved a better spot.
Dave Grohl is a shit singer though.
debatable.
The majority of Grohls singing is done with the foos so he’s not drumming
That's the biggest travesty on this list
Pretty boy Roger Taylor💕
Totally dropped the ball by not adding the Rev in the Top 5. He was not only a pivotal part of A7X's vocals, but also a main lyricist. As well as one of the best drummers my generation has seen. An all around musician.
Yeah I was hoping for him to be in the top 10 as well as Jen Ledger, but at least they got HMs, which are better than not being on here
When it comes to music they always pick musicians before the 20th century came. But Rev should have been somewhere in the top ten.
Shawn lund yeah that's usually right
The guy had a hell of a voice, and could sing while not missing a beat on drums. I'm pissed he wasn't on the list. He deserves more than just a honorable mention.
Just listen to A Little Piece of Heaven or Critical Acclaim
Roger Taylor is the best NO in the world but in the UNIVERSE!!
Some drunk homeless day with a gun: OK MISTA
Don Henley has a better voice.
Bill Ward has far better drumming.
Ringo Starr combines both better.
haha. you're funny
I respectfully disagree. Although Roger Taylor is very talented and I admire him, I have to say that Phil Collins is better.
my list
1:roger taylor
2: rings starr
3: whoever you want
i’ve been a huge queen fan before the movie so don’t think about back chatting. (Get it? they have a song called back chat)
haha
I came to see if, Phil Collins got #1.
Me too man 😂
I would’ve put Don #1 but I still love PC.
@I love Queen
Queen is overrated For The movie
Same.
@Israel Brito lol movie fans.I bet most people don't know who is queen if queen movie not release. what a fake fans
Karen Carpenter had a great pop voice, very under-rated because of the light-weight view of her music.
I'm into rock/metal, but Karen Carpenter had an amazingly beautiful voice; and the first time I learned she drummed too, I was hooked!
+Tominscv she did sing great very mutch underated
Okay- given the criteria, I agree that Phil Collins comes out at Number One. But to say "He's the genius behind Genesis" is kind of misleading. If you mean he's the genius drummer positioned behind Genesis onstage, okay- but Genesis was always a collective band. One could argue that keyboardist Tony Banks contributed the most towards creating their sound, but all the way back to before Collins was even in the band, they nearly always shared credit. "There must be some misunderstanding." Best to all.
Phil Collins has said before that he just did as told.
Peter Gabriel was the genius behind Genesis. They lost a lot of their technicality when he left
@@davidnissim589 phil collins a better front man than Gabriel for Genesis. If that is the case why did Genesis get more popular after Gabriel left.
Personally, I would put Karen Carpenter MUCH higher(lower) on the list...TOP 5, easy!!!
Agreed. She should be much higher on this list.
Simply one of the purest, most beautiful voices ever. And a drummer of such technical accomplishments and feel that even the great Buddy Rich was a fan!
@@rogerevansen2882 Absolutely!!!🖒
Since the 70s, people like to dismiss the Carpenters as a mere square pop duo...
Karen's 8th placement in this list proves the huge snob to their talents. Super underrated.
6:38 Brian! It’s Rogers moment!
JAJAJJAJAJA
The QWERTY 😂😂😂😂🤤😂😂
His floofy poodleness is blocking the..view🥵
“Roger Taylor...” FINALLY!! Only reason I clicked on was to see this man❤️❤️
I'm glad they remembered Karen Carpenter, Mickey Dolenz and Sheila E.
Karen Carpenter was the most talented of the lot.
She's pretty good but in my opinion I think Roger is the best
@Frenchy yea he's good
Phil Collins blows them all put of the water.
@@karllansing7927 There might have been better drummers....but none of these people could touch Karen Carpenter's voice. It was unmatched. A gift from the Gods.
i think she was the most solid. and drummed the most complex grooves while singing
#1 Rogah Taylah - Queen
In the lap of the gods, Live at the Rainbow 1974
Clara Kaasik one of my favourite performances
E👏xact👏ly👏
Dennis Wilson from The Beach Boys was a great singer.
True True
He was barely a drummer though.
Dennis wasn`t a good drummer . And is not me saying , he told me a million times . My good friend RIP
I love queen and roger Taylor but can we all appreciate Ringo Starr? ❤️
fucking legend
These two should be in second or third place
YES
no, we can't! over-rated tripe! 'he's not even the best drummer in the Beatles' J. Lennon
@Juancho Núñez so a stoner who didn't know where he was half the time asked another stoner who couldn't play for shit to play on his albums? and you think that's proof someone is good?!?! c'mon man! he probably only asked on his early albums cause he realised how naff Ringo was/is. even if it's made up, it's still true!
Bill Ward from Black Sabbath and his solo albums is amazing. He sang the songs Ozzy didn't recorded in Never Say Die and his solo albums are amazing.
Roger Taylor is definitely my favorite
But why is Roger Taylor higher than Ringo? I love the Beatles and Ringo, but Roger Taylor, in my opinion, can not only sing better, he has a better vocal range AND can play drums, guitar and bass! Obviously not at the same time lol
Irrelevant Commenter ringo is a fantastic musician, but the beat in most of the Beatles is a fairly simple one, with a much smaller kit. Roger works with a heavy metal drum kit often so big it's hard to see him behind it all.
@@Fitzroyfallz Er....yes. Gene Simmons worked in bigger boots than McCartney ever wore ... but does that make him a better bassist? lol
Seriously now, Roger Taylor seems to be far and away a better drummer, singer and even all-round performer than Ringo. AND that's from a Beatles fan of 5 decades standing - who doesn't really know a lot of the Queen repertoire.
Any love for Stewart Copeland out there?
Surprised to not even see an honorable mention for him.
"He's THEE genius behind Genesis"......Sorry but I beg to differ.There have been several geniuses behind Genesis going as far back as Anthony Philipps.Peter Gabriel,Steve Hackett,Tony Banks,and Mike Rutherford along with Phil ALL contributed greatly to the song writing and compositions for the band.I think that because Phil's solo career began to take off at the same time that Genesis became more popular in the 80's most people assumed that the band was just a vehicle for Phil,and it was all just a one man show.They assumed the other guys were merely his back up performers but this is definitely not the case.
They had 2 good records with him on Vocals, Trick of the tail, and Wind and Wuthering. Everything after that was garbage. Of course that's when they became wildly popular...
Yes,even Phil himself is on record saying how much the other members contributed to the band.
@@HansJaussmann Nah. And Then There Were Three and Duke are amazing records.
Dude without Phil Genesis just isn't the same. He was Genesis
He wasn't even a member when the band got together. Historically, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford would "be" Genesis, because they've been in every lineup from "From Genesis to Revelation" to "Calling All Stations". But Genesis has always been a conglomerate of talented musicians, so their music changed when Collins joined, it changed when Gabriel left, it changed when Hackett left (in my opinion the worst loss of them all), and it changed when Collins left. Every lineup must be heard in its own right, otherwise you're doing the artists wrong. If in doubt, listen to Banks' and Rutherford's solo projects and hear how much of their personal sound is also part of Genesis' music. And how much of the sound is still left on "Calling All Stations". The progressive back bone of Genesis kept visible underneath the layers of pop.
Glad that Karen Carpenter was recognized for her drumming which is often overlooked because of her outstanding vocals. Shout out to Deen Castronovo of Journey who IMHO is still under-utilized and under-appreciated.
Phil was the right choice for #1. The man is a vastly talented musician's musician. It's so sad he can't play drums anymore. I grew up with him. Much love and respect for the great Phil Collins.
Michae Brown One of my favorite artists of all time.
Kelly Keagy of Night Ranger should be on this list.
Instead of the Monkee? Hell yeah. Sister Christian still popular.
Good call. I don't know how I forget him.
Brann Dailor of Mastodon should have been Number 1, and he doesn't even get a mention??? WatchMojo, take a listen to Oblivion, Dry Bone Valley, or Ember City and I guarantee you'll want to redo this list. Please.
He shouldn't be #1 lol. I think he should've been an honorable mention. Anyway, he's awful live.
Definitely missing as an honorable mention, and technically more challenging than any of the people on this list. But indeed, he consistently screws up live.
THANK YOU!
he's an amazing drummer, but really awful live, just unbearable
Yeah, maybe he should've cracked the Top 10, but he ain't touching Phil Collins.
"HoW ManY GaLilEos Do YoU wAnT?!?!?"
F*ckn LOVE Levon Helm, RIP my friend
Roger Taylor and Ringo Starr both deserve better for me they're tied for first place but I can see why Phil Collins is at #1 here, the man is a fantastic drummer and singer
exactly, he and Taylor are good drummers, something that can't be said about Stingo Ringo
IF it matters, both wrote songs too. Collins is a great musician no doubt of it but he is unavoidable as much for his incredible commercial success. He went from being a Genesis man (progr rock, didn't really become anywhere near mainstream commercial til 1980,) while PC seems to have approached his post-Genesis career from a 'let's see how often we can hit NO 1' perspective. Can't argue - he was good, nay, exceptionally good at it. Not a man who's gonna die wonderin'.
@@petermcnallt12pm ya, ringo wasnt that great a drummer
I love the Beatles with all my heart but even I have to admit Roger Taylor either doing his amazing falsettos or his raspy voice sings way better than Ringo Star. I definitely would switch those positions...
My top 3 are Roger Taylor, Phil Collins and Don Henley!
Pretty surprised the Rev isn't on here, especially since he did a lot of singing in a7x
I was hoping for that too but he didn't do it on that many songs so I get why he wasn't included
They did include him, in the honourable mentions section, just before the #1 spot.
He should be AT the #1 spot. After all he did play the most advanced drum tracks while singing, when compared to these guys.
he's on here
THE REEEEEEEEEEEVVVVV!!!!!
Levon Helm's muse didn't malfunction on band naming day. The Band takes its name from when they backed Bob Dylan during his "electric" tour, headlining as Bob Dylan and The Band. Check yourself before you wreck yourself WatchMojo.
They got their name when they were Ronnie Hawkins backup group.
Still a sh*t name though.
Suds They were The Band because hey all played several instruments and but Robbie Robertson ssng, they usually turned his microphone off. Levon wss the leader snd Robbe screwed everyone else by taking most of the money and all of the rights to the songs they wrote together.
Bruce Marshall, They were call The Hawks then. Then Dylan hired them to be his band. Then they decided to go by the band.
Pillgirl, not even close.
Roger Taylor HONESTLY deserves # 1 he has such an incredibly unique voice nobody has he is just amazing and so talented wow
Freddie’s vocals outshined Roger’s by a long shot. Phil Collins was not only the drummer of Genesis, but basically the lead singer too, so he honestly is placed right as number 1.
roger is number one and we all know it
Wow didnt know Karen Carpenter was that good of drummer
beach side Same! Was super impressed
beach side Karen was always happiest sat behind the kit. RIP swetheart
She never had much of an appetite for drumming.
Dude, let the poor woman rest in peace. Being forced from behind the kit and the attendant pressures of being the focus of attention was one of the reasons she went down the anorexia road.
Andy M Not true. She was happiest behind the kit and fought to stay there, but pressure from execs wanted her front and center and not doing something so unlady like as drumming. I liked her best behind the kit.
"The Band" name was not a lapse of imagination - they were called that because in their early days they were a backing band, in fact THE BAND everybody wanted
And they were a true band, everyone wrote, everyone sang and everyone of them could play multiple instruments. They were THE BAND.
Karen Carpenter - number 8??? HELL NO! She should be in the top 3, if not number one.
I was just about to post the same thing
at least they put her ahead of Shiela E. Geeze people do not understand the talent of Karen.
The list should have focused on drummers whose voices led the band. Ringo wouldn't have made the list, along with several others. Karen would've landed higher.
A good jazz drummer for sure! And out of all of the list definitely the best singer!
@@phatch5344 shiela was not in the same league of karen.
Peter Rivera of Motown's band Rare Earth deserves a BIG mention!
Totally agree.
Oh my gosh,heck yes!!
Yeah Get Ready rocks amazing song he's brilliant
Roger Taylor should have been #1 or even #2, honestly. The fact that Taylor was the one who would take over the high notes FOR the incredibly talented Freddie during many live performances while still doing his amazing drum work makes him deserve at least a bit higher than #4. Some of the sounds he could achieve were almost not human as well. An example being in Somebody to Love, which many would mistaken as Brian May's guitar.
Uno...Levon
Dos....Ringo
Tres...Karen Carpenter
Cuatro.....Buddy miles
Cinco......Pete Rivera...Rare Earth
Both Levon and Pete have a very distinct voice that sets them apart from everyone else!
Phill Collins at the one spot?
Are you Fing kidding?
Phil is the god, and he is actually very underrated so you should just shut your mouth plus no one cares
#1 should be Don Brewer from Grand Funk Railroad.
You've probably never listened to Genesis then. Listen to Dukes Travels/Dukes End, Dance On A Volcano, The Musical Box, Watcher Of The Skies and In The Cage. If you can't hear the greatness in Phils drumming there, you're probably deaf. His performances in those songs, and many more, is absolutely mindblowing.
Phil Collins is the best drummer in the world. You better go listen to his music and you will realize why he is the best 🙂
Phil is one of the best
Just stick to LEAD SINGER drummers in this list. Whats with the back up singing and one time singing guys in the list? Gil Moore of Triumph.
+brogo ram Sure, I agree. To be fair, though, Roger Taylor sang about two leads per Queen album and has had several solo records over the years and lead his own band, The Cross for awhile.
+brogo ram on a unrelated note ur profile pic is prime, I'm digging the sano choice
Andrew Renzetti lol
+brogo ram I agree Brogo, fabulous singing voice/tone, and a competent drummer indeed (I don't think he had a very diverse drumming style, still he knew how to play for sure!)
to all the teenagers saying roger taylor should be higher: we get it you saw bohemian rhapsody
I came here to see The Rev
I'm here for Roger but i became a fan a year before BohRha movie was released.
That’s hilarious because queen was the first band I new and a week after the movie came out a guy played bohemian rapacity on piano and some girl is like your not as good as Freddie murcury butchering his name but saying it in the proud scenes like saying she bows queen
Hey HEY HEY!!
ROGER TAYLORRRRRR
Karen Carpenter was an amazing drummer.
Scott Hornby Yet interestingly Hal Blaine was on drums for about 75% of the Carpenters recorded output.
She was very good. Phil was a far more accomplished drummer, and probably the most accomplished drummer on this list. Add to that the huge success as a solo artist and singer of Genesis, and he is the clear #1 for me.
I think it was because it was easier to do the overdubbing if they didn't pick up the drum sounds on the voice recording.
Yes she was and a voice to match.
Maybe, but while all these drummers could sing, Karen Carpenter had a unique and beautiful voice way better than anything else on this list
If he'd lived longer to create a larger body of work, Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan would've been one of the top 5 musicians on this list
I wonder what would’ve happened if played on nightmare hail to the king and the stage I know he wrote on nightmare but I wonder how it would’ve sounded if he played on it
@@nem5217 i wonder this too
Indeed
Most Famous: Phil Collins
Greatest: Levin Helm
Completely Missed: Don Brewer
Novice researcher at best ! E Pluribus Funk ! !
When Levon Helm can play jazz fusion, wake me up. Or big band. Or progressive rock. The most famous is the best drummer on this list, and the most versatile.
Not to mention Peter Rivera of Rare Earth
Did you say my name?
Most Overrated: Roger Taylor
Kelly Keagy for Night Ranger too. See: Sing Me Away, live.
Yeah he shared lead vocals even on Sister Christian what a singer and drummer their biggest hit
