Name 3 under appreciated pop/rock drummers

Since the best rock drummer thread has garnered some interest, this thread could create some diverse and interesting respones. My 3 are as follows...
1-Gil Moore-Triumph-Being Canadian.
2-Jerry Shirley-Humble Pie/Fastway-Didn't sell enough records.
3-Roger Taylor-Queen-Overshadowed in his own band.

Ringo was a great pocket drummer, nothing special though.

Can't think of three but tend to agree with Ryriken. I don't think Ringo gets the respect he deserves as drummer in the Beatles. Maybe because he wasn't so much a straight ahead rock drummer but (to my mind) more a percussionist/accompanist. (And "yes", I'm aware that on some tracks, McCartney played drums).
