I have to admit it’s really hard to argue against Purdie if we’re talking “greatest”.

So, to be “The Greatest”, you’ve got to take all those different factors into account.

But it’s still opinion. Informed opinion sure, but still your opinion. Not a fact i.e dogs can’t look up.

Yes. And that is why these conversations are fun.

It’s also why I made the original question FAVORITE drummer, because that’s something different.

There are definitely several others I would put in the conversation (e.g. Questlove). But Purdie is hard to top.
