Al Jackson of Booker T & The MGs - Memphis born Jackson didn't get the moniker "The Human Timekeeper" for nothing. The founding member of Booker T & The MGs, he was legendary for his impeccable knack of keeping a beat. Sadly, he was shot dead by intruders at his home in Memphis at the age of 39. His death has left many speculating what else he could have achieved in his life.

- 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!
