A Day in the Life what? Ringo's drumming? I LOVE his drumming in that. Ringo gets NO credit ever.

terry bozzio's technical skills are probably the best out of the choices, but i was never the technical sort. i'm going with bonzo simply for the fact that he could really groove and played with so much power.

To put my two cents worth in for Sandra's question as to why I would choose Bonham over Moon,,,,,

If I wanted a drummer who could play maybe some deep blues, a little light jazz, a studio piece that needs to be done the same time after time, a pocket thats a mile deep but still drives,,,,,,,,,,Moon loses. He cant do any of that. Moon was great for the Who, but I dont see him being able to drum for anybody else. Thats not so for Bonham.

But how do you know Moon couldn't do that since he never did it? And how do you know Bonham could since he never did either? I mean, maybe they tried or something and I just don't know about it.

Cool chapter from the book Rock and Roll: A Social History:

http://www.thewho.net/articles/townshen/friedlan.htm

Doesn't have that much to do with the topic at hand, other than the fact that you can see how Moon and the Who are vastly underrated in more than one way.
