I know it's not the point, but...even making a list of, "Who was the best drummer...guitarist...bassist...kazoo player" is just ridiculous. It's their personal expression via soundwaves. It's all individual, from one style to another. Bonham could never be replaced....that's why LZ stopped playing together...it's why the Grateful Dead aren't the Grateful Dead anymore. Look at any one of Frank Zappa's bands...some of the most skilled musicians on earth...they don't play together anymore....the sound is irreplaceable...<---is that a word?....anyway...no bonham wasn't as technical as the afforementioned percusssionists....it's all about style man. I just listen to the tunes for what I think there worth....I can't rate the players.
