Just because a list in a magazine doesn't have him listed doesn't mean he isn't in the same league as Carter. How many lists have there been that don't include DMB on them for best bands of all time, or best songs of all time and people around here get pissed?
Like I said, if you know nothing about drumming then you don't know the complexities involved. However, the styles of these two drummers are completely different so it's really hard to compare. But Jon Fishman is definitely up there.
