Yeah, I saw that, but I meant for it to be left off that initial "semi official" list that was posted is crazy!

Carl Palmer made number 6 on the list........

Jeff Porcaro made the top 100 drummers......not bad for a bass player

Hey all-

FYI, this is simply a fans voting site..tons of people just voting for their own! complete joke...

Angie, when are you going to come in the Journey board and say hello?

Joey Jordison needs to be a lot higher... the guys is phenomenal (sp?)
