Neil Peart vs. John Bonham?

Alright, I am tired of hearing people say that John Bonham is a better
drummer than Neil Peart. Fact is, Bonzo can do triplets and that's the
only special thing about him. Peart can do fills so fast, keep beats
with multiple drums and cymbals in different time signatures, and
basically do EVERYTHING. For all of the Zeppelin fans out there,
saying Bonham is better than Peart is like saying Bon Jovi's guitarist
is better than Jimmy Page. There is no competition: Peart wins. Listen
to ANY of Rush's songs 1975 and onward (when Neil joined) and tell me
that he doesn't play some complex stuff, while Bonzo on the other hand
likes to keep simple beats in most of his songs.
