36. Micky Waller
An English drummer, Waller played with some of the biggest names on the UK rock and blues scene. The first band that Waller joined was The Flee-Rekkers, with whom he acheived a No. 23 hit in the UK singles chart. He achieved more notoriety with Joe Brown and the Bruvvers. 1963 saw him move onto Cyril Davies R&B All Stars, replacing drummer Carlo Little. He truly came into his own when he joined the Jeff Beck Group in ’67. He was shown to be the missing link between hard blues and heavy metal that the group needed.
