Off-Topic What are you listening to?

The Who. Greatest drummer, best rhythm guitarist, most underrated bassist, and a pretty **** good vocalist in his own right.

Keith Moon over John Bonham?

Interesting debate. Both GOATs who died too young.

For me, yes. But it is a very 1a 1b classic rock guitar. Can’t really argue if someone said Bonham.

The haters may say this is a bad song. But NYSOM loves him some of the Biebs.

Thoughts and prayers to J Beebs too. He gots da Jim Ross Disease.

You make an excellent case but if I'm given the opportunity to see a stadium show by both then I'm going Queen every time. But that might be a different question than "better group".

100%.

100%.

This show, which was put on DVD, has a ton of footage from behind the drums. It is an incredible glimpse into how good and how unorthodox Moon was. Fun note, their drummer that toured with them for years through the 90s is Ringo’s son.

Totally fair, especially the breadth of genres that Queen touches. They were made for the stadium show and arena rock.

With that said, I can listen to Quadrophenia through and through. It is brilliant. Same with Tommy. I also absolutely love how WW2 and history touched so many of their songs and albums, from Tommy to A Quick One.

Moon’s last performance was a legendary one.

He’s still with them. Zak Starkey. Excellent drummer in his own right. Townshend offered him the chance to be an official member of the group but he turned it down.

He idolized Moon growing up and now plays his songs. Very cool.

Yes! Should have said starting in the 90s with the Quadrophenia tour. That was an awesome show, and one that I know Townshend wanted to put on for years. I actually prefer that opera to Tommy.

Saw The Who at Fenway a few years ago. Great set list, great show. I just told my son today I wish I saw Queen live. Freddie was a showman.

That tiny little island produces some serious talent.

For the Thin Lizzy crowd.

I’m One, so good.

Amazing. Townshend at his finest. Sea and Sand is my personal favorite. Love Punk and The Godfather too. It is a GREAT album through and through. The overture is beautiful.
