To: My Favorite Headache

Well, it depends on “when” the guy drummed. Hands down, Carmine Appice from 1968 to about 1975 blew any of these people away for ROCK drumming. (I hate Peart and Moon, overplaying and omnipresent egoists as they were). Appice has declined badly, but his drumming in that era was the best, and even Bonham learned most of what he knew from Carmine and said so.

"Beck, Bogert & Appice"...Superstition

After writing the song Wonder offered it to Beck to record, but at the insistence of his own manager Wonder himself recorded it first. Beck was instead offered "Cause We've Ended As Lovers," which he recorded on Blow by Blow in 1975. Jeff Beck played guitar on "Talking Book" and later recorded his own version of "Superstition" as a part of Beck, Bogert & Appice.

Shaky vid but it tells the story. Man...the memories.
