I'm considering modifying the title of this thread to say "Top five anything" or something similar, therefore there would be no more "Five best drummers EVER 1neal peart" threads. they'd be turned into posts in this thread, should someone get the urge. Plus there could be all manner of theme lists, like "Five favorite guitarists named Steve." What say ye, the people?

You really need to hear some Jaco Pastorious. I have to assume you've never heard him before if he's not on there. Especially considering who else you listed.

I've heard some of his stuff, but not enough to make a judgement, like I did with the other five.

I concur about the Jaco thing. "Slang" is pretty cool.

 

Five favorite Cab Calloway songs

1. Minnie the Moocher

2. The Man From Harlem

3. The Ghost of Smokey Joe

4. Minnie the Moocher's Wedding Day

5. Reefer Man

 

Riddled with drug references, the lot of 'em!

 

Five favorite classical pieces

1. J.S. Bach - Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor

2. Vivaldi - La Primavera (1st movement)

3. Monteverdi - Tu se morta from Orfeo

4. Mozart - Dies Irae from the Requiem Mass

5. Wagner - Ride of the Valkryies

 

With the exception of Bach, that list can be put in any order.

 

Oh, and I think Modest Mussorgsky is a cool name.
