MOONIE!!! He rules.

Bonzo, because Im not familiar with the Bozzizio guy

i put nick mason because i love pink floyd... but for best drummer john bonham

That picture convinced me.  It's got to me Moon.

Moonie is amazing, i know hes not techincal or watever you guys say, but Moonie is amazing and yes hes a madman, and hes my favorite drummer of all-time

Ginger Baker.

I never really got Ginger Baker for some reason.  I just hear that clippity-cloppity beat to Sunshine of Your Love.  Maybe it's the way they were miked.  Bonham just sounds so much bigger.  BTW does Moon sound just a bit buried in some of the Who mixes--I'm thinking of Who's Next? 

well thats because you listened to Sunshine, Creams jaded song,

listen to "Toad" off Wheels Of Fire

listen to dazed and confused by led zeppelin, it has amazing drums

agree^.. and bass too...and the guitar is pretty awesome, the solo isnt very hard to play but Simplicity is Genius!

I'd like to know what Bonham does that is SO much greater than Moon. I just think he's often picked because of the band he was in. I KNOW he was great, but I don't think he was an innovater. Maybe he was, I don't know. I KNOW Moon was though for sure. His antics off stage are all people remember him for. Watch/listen to him at 18 drumming to their early stuff. It's amazing. Who else was doing that?? I just don't get it. I'm not putting Bonzo down, just wondering what is it that puts him above Moon. And yeah, he could groove and pound. Is that it? If anything, they are equal in greatness. Great at different things. But Keith was the innovator of the two.

Simplicity may be genius, but so is being able to push the boundries of an instrument to places that no just any musician can do. There's also genius in using the instrument in ways that no one else thought to do. Creating sounds that are unique to their style. If anyone can pick up a guitar or drum and play it the way these guys did, then I would think, why didn't anyone else think to play it like that before? And why do these guys stand out?  It's not always simple. Like David Gilmour, Keith Moon, John Bonham, Jimi Hendrix. How easy are they to emmulate? I have no idea not being a musician.

Achillies Last Stand is better than when the levee breaks^

and Moon was amazing in almost evry Who song, and he is more fun to watch than Bonzo,, and evrything Sandra said I agree highly on

Kieth is better IMO

Yeah, that doesn't help. I can list a bunch of Who songs to where Moon excells. That's not what I'm looking for. I'm curious as to a drummers opinion especially.

PS
I love that song. I know he grooves and pounds on it. That's his strength. Still, wondering why he's put above Moon as innovator. And you hate the Who so you're biased.
