Neal Pert, IMO, is one of the most overrated drummers in history. I also think Geddy Lee is overrated on bass. Why? Everything is so over the top and "look at me!" that it just turns me off. Sure, Pert has a huge drum kit. But it's so unnecessary. John Bonham was 1000x the drummer Pert is and had 1/10th the drums.
Likewise, I think guitarists like Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai and the like are all flash and no substance. I'm thoroughly unimpressed that you can play 1/64th notes for 3 minutes straight. I'd much rather listen to David gilmour, whose guitar solos are great because he knows when not to play.
