I don't even have to look - such lists and "polls" only serve to spark heated discussions about who should be on the list but is not, who shouldn't be, but is, and how incorrect the ranking is to begin with.

not so much a ranking as it is a Who's Who.
very informative.
The omission of Larry Mullen Jr was a biggie, given the number of bands who were influenced by U2 and LMJ's one, two and four bar cycles.

And people may laugh but a few teachers here have said they've started beginners with White Stripes songs and Meg has inspired many women to play.
Influence and ability aren't necessarily connected.
Hey, you got Mo in there.....gotta leave some room for people that can actually play.
No Simon Phillips, no Steve Jordan, no Peter Erskine.... loads of biggie missing.
I don't see why. After all, we agreed that influence and ability aren't necessarily connected
Yeah, you can pull any famous name out of a hat and say they were influential.
Initially I thought the same thing.....but the word "influential" as opposed to "best" allowed me to give them the benefit of the doubt.
That's a great list but a few are missing:
