The Who was a rare bird in that it was a band whose music was enhanced by Moon's stretching out & he might just be the only drummer I've ever heard who had the correct combination of taste & skill to get away with what I usually think of overplaying without burdening the songs with showoffy nonsense. I hear other drummers overplay & it just makes me angry, but Moon's stylings never bothered me. Same with Entwhistle, whose approach to bass playing is counter to mine, yet what he did worked for me. Many have tried to emulate him, but to my ears most have failed because--and as a drummer you should be able to relate to this--bass & drums are, or should be, at least to my way of thinking, RHYTHM INSTRUMENTS. To my ears Rudd will always be 'better' than Peart because he didn't showcase his technique at the expense of AC/DC's simply structured, straight-ahead rock songs. Peart's drumming fits Rush, but I always found their compositions to be completely overloaded & since I think prog rock's basically a big pile o'poopy I don't waste the time to consider what great musicians they may be. The material is so counter to my tastes I couldn't care less what level the playing's on. Give me Ringo, Mo Tucker, Jody Stephens, Charlie Watts, Moon, and, yes, Bun E. Carlos (who leaned a little too closely to the side of technique, yet didn't ruin Cheap Trick with look-at-me I-can-do-this overplaying) any day of the week over charlatans like Peart.
