Ringo Starr? Ok, he's not top of the virtuoso list as a drummer, but he's not so bad...listen to his work on Rain and in general in all of the Revolver album...very clean, moreover!
IMHO he's better than Charlie Watts of Rolling Stones

And what's wrong with Nick Mason? Once again, he's not flamboyant, but he provides a flawless rhythm structure

Robbie Williams has a very nice voice and does know how to give interpretation to the songs he (by the way) writes (or co-writes).

(What I've done here in Italian is referred to as "being the devil's lawyer"...meaning to take defense of somebody turned down by everybody... )

They're all rubbish.  Especially Ringo, Robbie and Nick.  Nothing will ever convince me otherwise.

Ringo Starr
Ozzy Osbourne
Robbie Williams

etc...

I'm sure there's loads, but I dont despise them at all They're ok, and probably more fun on a night out than Bill Bruford..

Bruford might be a great drummer, but he's clearly a complete t**ser! Keith Moon was a great drummer, as well as an entertainer

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Bill Bruford (no need to introduce this person, I suppose?) had had written on his shoes "I hate Keith Moon" and claimed the reason for it that "He is not a drummer, he just hits things".

This gave me a wicked idea of asking you to name music personalities (either prog or non prog), which you think are impostors, i.e. can't play their instrument, sing or make a single good tune at all and whom you therefore despise.

It is something like Kelly Bundy ("Married with Childre") TV show, so please don't ban me for that.

My first proposals are James Hetfield and Kurt Cobain (I know you American fellows gonna kill me for that)

Please don't mention Johnny Rotten, Britney Spears or Michael Jackson, since they're obvious.

yet you still have time!
