Fisherman Mike Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Bonham all day long. The Who were absolute garbage. Wash your mouth out man.... four musicians from the very top of the tree..no better lead than Townsend, Bassist than Entwhistle and keith Moon on Drums well does it get any better?...add the driving vocal range of Daltry and they are probably the best British Rock band of all time..... Stick to the Osmonds if I were you.... :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevorevans Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) If I've gotta chose between those two it's moon, but to me there were/are better drummers, yes maybe ginger baker, for me Toad beats the hell out of moby **** (wabitbosher can I buy your bread bin?) I agree also with Phil Collins but not forgetting chester thompson. One of the best British drummers is Steve ferrone once of the average white band, now one of Tom pettys heartbreakers (i was lucky enough to see them at the Albert hall, amazing!) but what about John Bradbury of the specials? Hell of a beat machine. But the best ever drummer was Buddy Rich now sadly deceased leaving Neil peart of rush to fill his shoes only after joe morello drops off the edge.

Paul T Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Bonham played drums brilliantly Moon played an instrument brilliantly, so I vote Moon with Bonham 2nd As a drummer I was always fascinated by Moon's unconventional style. He wasn't the greatest at keeping time, but he was all over the kit like a madman to give a unique depth to the Who's music. Iain Paice - Again brilliant, a close 3rd to Bonham and Moon in my book Stewart Copeland - Technically, probably the best ever, but lacks soul in my opinion 4th. Bobby Rondinelli (ex Rainbow and others) 5th Ginger Baker? - can't stand him, he's very overrated Charlie Watts? - Good but in a different league.

poontang Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Whats with your hatred of the Who Mc Poontang? Did they all have their wicked, rock'n'roll way with you or something? Not really a hatred, just never liked them. Music's very subjective and everyone has their own tastes, but to compare The Who with the mighty Led Zep on the basis of musicianship? Well that's just comical. Jimmy Page was/is a guitar God, whereas Pete Townsend just wheeled his arm round a bit. Absolutely no contest.

Bing-Bong Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 If I had to make a choice, Bonham every time. Although listening to The Who, Live at Leeds album.....................Magic Bus, awesome stuff. But Zep for me everytime. I have all the zep albums but only the one Who album, as mentioned above. Never got into their studio stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storme37 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) Good shout that man - you really do like your new wave stuff don't you How about John Maher of the Buzzcocks too? Very underrated. i like all kinds of music but that era was when i saw a lot of bands also one of my bands does music from that time. the buzzcocks top band. if you see old topper play in the pub, he still got it lol Edited August 4, 2012 by storme37 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's just comical. Jimmy Page was/is a guitar God, whereas Pete Townsend just wheeled his arm round a bit. Guitarist - I totally agree. Drummer - a bit closer, but Bonham has the edge. Bassist - I think that Entwistle was almost as good as it gets. Not better than Jack Bruce, Larry Graham, James Jamerson, but better than John Paul Jones in my book.

Cottonseed Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Charlie Watts the gentleman drummer for me. I like the fact that he just loves playing the drums and never got involved in all the stuff that accounted for Bonzo and Moon. No, Charlie was a heroin addict for 17 years and the other two were just drunks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ack-ack Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 No, Charlie was a heroin addict for 17 years and the other two were just drunks! First I find out that George Harrison banged Ringo's wife and now I find out that Charlie Watts used to be a skag head. This has been a week of dissapointments. And my new cars ******!

Trevorevans Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Paul cook anyone? Frank beard?, Phil Taylor?, mikkey dee? Steve adler? Gina shock? Carl palmer? Really love drums but bozo some how doesn't do it for me, not saying he's rubbish or anything, far from it he is one of the best drummers to have lived just not at the top of the list and couldn't touch moon for me.
