Not nearly as much as I love the proceeding whining about some (undoubtedly) more worthy drummer missing out. Happens with such regularity every year that I now set my watch by it.
Here's a tip for the dissatisfied. Of course someone more worthy is going to miss out. What the hell did you expect? There's only 100 rock drummers mentioned FFS.
Here's another tip. If it bothers you so, make your own list. I'll get as much of a giggle reading all the whining about who you've left out of the top 5, top 25, or off the list altogether, as I do reading the yearly rants about the glaring omissions on the RS list.
But I digress......fwiw, our favourite colour is actually black (which I'm fully aware is not a colour at all)!!
That's why I wrote, he war arguably the best ROCK-drummer during those five years. Overall, other drummers like Tony Williams and Joe Morello were way more proficient than him. But RS mainly focuses on rockdrummers. That's life.So glad it was Moon on them, even though he was far from the best drummer out there.
Even Charlie Watts admitted that he still has trouble drumming. His famous line is that he is 1/32 of a beat behind everyone else. He has big trouble with time.
Keith Moon? are you joking? He's been dead longer than half this board have been alive, 1978. All he could do was throw his drums farther than anybody else.
He had a number of firsts as a drummer mind you:
First drummer to throw his kit into a pool. First drummer to injure a patron with his bass. etc. etc.
C'mon man.
You dont get it do you? Those guys were making it up, they were inventing Rock drumming. There was no blue print, no click, no internet, they were doing something different.
Its easy to be smug in retrospect, decades after the event. What you play now is influenced by these guys, cos the guys who directly influenced you were influenced in some way By Kieth and Charlie. They are/were drummers, show some respect.
Well put. You da man and then some!
Even Charlie Watts admitted that he still has trouble drumming. His famous line is that he is 1/32 of a beat behind everyone else.
Maybe he's taking the fall for other players pushing the time?
And Bonham is well over rated. Number one? Come on...
Its just opinion mate, roll with it.
Not my opinion, mate.
