Rick Buckler of The Jam - In 2006, Q reported that Buckler had slated his ex-Jam colleague Paul Weller's jazz-influenced Style Council repertoire. Not ones to take themselves too seriously, the two mods refused to speak to each other for over 20 years. Lately Rick has been hauling his crisp drum rolls and viral punk style across the country with follow-up group The Gift, a nod to the final Jam album, and even today Buckler and friends refuse to let the old times go, regularly playing Jam sets on tour.

- How come Ringo isn’t at number one?
- Ginger should have been a HELL of a lot higher up on this list. But yay for Keith :)
- Although I’m a huge Beatles, Stones, Cream, etc. fan, I agree with alot of the picks but I think Charlie Watts should be in the top ten!! He’s not only one of the greatest ”Rock ’n’ roll” drummers (even though he is quoted as saying ”I hate Rock ’n’ roll”, but he is also one of the top Jazz drummers from his era. If you can tell me of another drummer who has sat through 30 hr. Rock sessions (In the Seventies) and is as steady as a drum
- remi, brendan canty should be on there
- Jim Keltner, Jim Gordon, Hal Blaine, Trey Cool, Pat Wilson would all be in my personal top 10. Meg White and the one-armed guy? Ridiculous!
