Seriously, Bill Burford's resume' reads like a who's who of many genre's. Jazz, Avante Garde, Rock, Progressive... Except for Tony Levin, Bruford may be one of the most recorded musicians of the past 30-35 years.
Besides Bruford and Earthworks, there is Bill's work with Yes, King Crimson, Nationa Health, Pavlov's Dog, David Torn, Steve Howe, Al Di Meola, Kazumi Watanbe, BLUE, Gordian Knot, Genesis, The Roaches, Roy Harper, Moraz, Squire, U.K., Rick Wakeman... and I could go on and on and on....
I love Peart's playing, but other than Rush and a few one off recordings... what else has he really done?

5 players stand out for me:
Carl Palmer at his peak was awesome.Was their truly a more influential prog drummer? Just Pictures at An Exhibition would be sufficient to cement his place amongst the most technically adept drummers of a generation,but then you add Tarkus,Barabarian,Toccata plus that distinctive shuffle on Fanfare For The Common Man.He took prog drumming to a new level IMO.
Bill Bruford contributed to the great Yes line up that took the world by storm and Phil Collins deserves some recognition for Lamb etc.Also worthy of a mention is Jon Hiseman who by his own proclamation was the best English jazz drummer of the sixties.Colosseum's Valentine Suite backs that claim and shows him crossing over into prog extremely well.Last but not least is Neil Peart.If he had only ever done Tom Sawyer then he would still be a legend!

Well 19 studio albums is rather a lot!
BTW, I have read 1000's of interviews, literally. I browse Modern Drummer, Percussionist etc for free at my local WH Smiths
Believe me Bruford's name doesnt come up as often as it should!

Thats because among percussionists... even tho Bruford has played for everyone and in every genre almost... he's still a very technical player.. and missing a lot of the feeling from his work. He's never done anything that has made me go..."OMG - how did he do that"?? Carl does that to me every time...

Yeah, I'm always checkin' out Modern Drummer, Relix, all the music mags at Barnes and Noble, and Borders, my local book stores.  I stick more to guitar mags, but MD, Relix and a few others are okay. Rolling Stone is a piece of rubbish and I won't stem the flow of a mortal fermoral artery wound with that rag.
Neil gets his fair share.... Keith Moon, John Bonham and a buncha others are always bandied about. I found BB's name came up often enough to know he's a drummer's drummer and he's played in enough different forumlas to proove it.
BTW, My dad can kick yer dad's arse, er, ehm, if he were still alive...

Me too. I always get the evil looks from the shop keepers.
Jamie Muir? I heard he went nuts and ended up in a monastery or something.
That's a good one for Dick... He'd know or knows someone who would know.

Or are you thinking of the storyline of the excellent Brit movie "Still Crazy"

In demand session drummers who seem to guest on every other album one picks up, come to mind, e.g.
Vinnie Colaiuta, Simon Phillips, Dennis Chambers and Dave Weckl
and they coincidently meet somebody's requirement of having played on prog rock albums
