Best. Drummer. Ever.

Post by DADINK13 »

Okay, this was on the radio the other day, and I thought this was a great poll. The morning show on Q104 was having a poll between two precussion monsters: Keith Moon of The Who, and John Bonham of Led Zeppelin. I felt that Moon was cheated because Bonham beat him 2:1. They're both outstanding dummers, with their strengths and weaknesses, but picking one over the other is near impossible. Both played with legendary bands. Both were phenominal dummers. Both are dead.



So, who is it? Moon the Loon, or Bonzo?

Who says you have to play rock music to be the very best?

I'm just saying don't overlook people because they don't do rock... I'm not trying to suggest other people, but I'm sure any one that is not rock was overlooked.

I understand what you mean--but that just so happened to be the topic of discussion of the day that morning.
