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.
