And can we finally give some respect to Kenny Jones? This unfairly maligned, absolute gift of a drummer was handed the BIGGEST shoes to fill when Moonie died. Kenny took the gig, The Who carried on. Yes, the next two 'Ooo albums weren't Quadrophenia, but they didn't suck like the entire Springsteen catalog.
More importantly, Kenny gave The Who life. While he didn't make it past 1985 as The Who's drummer, it is arguable that The Who would have packed it in after Live Aid. That means no Quadrophenia live tour(s), no Concert for New York. And so on.
Besides, Kenny is explosive in this video.
The haters can go sod off...I love Kenny's drumming.
Here's Kenney, Rod, and Ronnie just last year (Rod's voice just isn't right for one reason or another):
TOTALLY agree!!
I was the biggest Keith Moon fan in the world when he died..
Kenny was probably the best drummer they ever had. He wasn’t Keith Moon, who had been perfect for THAT band, but Kenny brought them exactly what they needed - WHEN they needed it most.
There’s some video out there of Kenny just bashing around on his drums at home. He still is a monster drummer!
