The Who Sings My Generation is not on this list. Crappy list IMO.

As a (modest) drummer, my favourite album is Songs for the Deaf. Dave Grohl is impressive during the intro of a Song for the Dead or the solo of No One Knows.

That is a laughable list. Two Police albums, and not one of them is "Zenyatta Mondatta"??? That is by FAR Stewart's best moment in time. "Driven to Tears" alone is reason enough to have that album in the top 5.

Heh, check that...3(!) Police albums and not one of them is Zenyatta...wow.

Interesting list (if only for the subject), although, as everyone could expect, it features basically hard rock and jazz albums. But some surprises:
- 3 Beatles albums!! I mean, these are great albums but surely not for the drumming. I respect Ringo Starr and think (well, in fact I though till I read this list) that he’s an underrated drummer but surely one album was enough. Agree with “Abbey Road” as the best choice (but not for the simple drum solo in “The End” but for the original drum arrangement in “Come Together” for instance).
- No prog-rock! No Yes, no Genesis, no E,L&P! And, shamely, no Bill Brudford. A best drum albums list without King Crimson’s “Red” or “Lark Tongues in Aspic”??
- Two Stevie Wonder ones!! Surely there’s a lot of merit in Stevie to be such a terrific drummer being a blind man. But the 10th best drummer ever? Really?
- Nice to see Jeff Buckley’s “Grace” (awesome drum work in this one) or Sly Stone’s “Fresh” and, although not in the main list, The Clash “London Calling” (Nicky Topper Headon was a great and versatile drummer) and Arctic Monkeys (great drummer, when I saw them playing live it was easy to see that Arctic Monkeys were a great singer-guitarist-composer – Alex Turner -, a great drummer and two other ones).

Anyway pop bands that avoid the virtuoso and show-off playing got little chances to make a list like this one. Albums that should deserve its appearance in a drumming list with no particular order (in my humble opinion, of course):
- Japan “Tin Drum”: terrific drum work from Steve Jansen, based in a tribal or “ethnic” use of the toms. Just hear “Visions of China”, how many hands got this man?
- David Bowie “Station to Station”: Dennis Davis was the drummer of the American Bowie period and of the Berlin trilogy. No need to say more.
- Sex Pistols “Never Mind the Bollocks”: Paul Cook is an underrated drummer. Surely, they played punk rock, they couldn’t be good musicians.
- John Hiatt “Bring the Family”: no Jim Keltner in a drummer’s list?
- Elvis Costello & The Attractions “This Year’s Model”: who said that pop drummers are no strong and fast enough? Have you listened to “Lipstick Vogue”?
- U2 “War”: Larry Mullen Jr. is one of the best, just listen to the intro to “Sunday Bloody Sunday”.
- Dave Brubeck Quartet “Time Out”: includes the famous drum solo of “Take Five”.
- Sonic Youth “Daydream Nation”: Steve Shelley is an inventive and still powerful drummer.
- The Flaming Lips “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots”: I like a lot the ability of Steven Drozd and that “full” equalization of the bass drum.
- Cream “Disraeli Gears”: and, of course, the first superstar drummer, Ginger Baker.

Really no King Crimson or ELP what a joke. The Beatles album should be With the Beatles that was a great drum album. Other than Lennon vocal work on Money That's What I Want and others, Ringo was the real star on that album. Tracks like Tomorrow Never Knows and Come Together were origial and influential on techno and funk rock but Revolver and Abbey Road on a whole were great bass albums

Getting back to Bill Bruford what a diss really just listen the first album. Carl Palmer was a big influence on drummers like Neil Pert. Really a strange list.

What exactly is a drum album, I wonder? Is it an album that has some drums on it (99% of all rock, pop and soul albums), an album where drums are the most important instrument or one that simply features outstanding drumming? Anybody knows?
