Ah, could you put those drummers in order?  And I need recorded songs rather than shows.  I don't mean to sound like a jerk...

Alright, this should be pretty fun.  What I want you guys to do is list your top 10 favorite drummers in prog (or non-prog) in order, and then your top 10 favorite drum performances in that same manner.  I'm trying to compile a list of the most influential combined with best technical drummer list, and the most technical drum performances/solos within a song as well.  So please contribute!  Your top pick for drummer and performance get 10 points, your 2nd pick gets 9 and so forth.  I'll keep track of the points.
