I cant decide between these 6 very talented gentlemen.

PLEASE VOTE ONLY BASED ON THEIR DRUMMING! Don't go not voting for Colling only because he "ruined Genesis" or anything.

I can't decide so no vote for now. I will say that Barlow is underrated though.

This was a difficult choice but I voted for Collins for his 70's work, especially around Selling England period.

I feel you, Cinema Show is one of the best drum tracks I've ever heard!

I'll be obvious and vote Collins.

But 5 of them are pretty exceptional.

Barry Barlow, easily.

Phill Collins had to deal "only" with Genesis' style. Barry deal with a multitude of stuff JethroTull did from 1972-79. And always in an outstanding way. I mean, look the drumming of a second rank Tull' album - Stormwatch, for example - his tecnique is there. Look to a first rank Tull album - TAAB, APP, SFTW, MITG - Barlow is always present in wonderfull way.

Perhaps one of the greatest drummers of all times...

All the drummers that you listed are very good. But I voted for Michael Giles. Great drummer in the studio and in concert with King Crimson. Also very good drums in the "McDonald and Giles" album.

Barriemore Barlow. But it is hard to choose between him and Gavin Harrison.

The sophistication of Collins's drumming is not to be under-estimated - even in the dire years of the 80s, it was always a delight to hear, despite the stuff on top.  Bozzio is in a similar mould.  Paice is the outlier here - a good rock drummer in a poll in a prog forum.
