Wow, what a concept.  Just because Moon's drums weren't standing out, this
is a sign of weakness?  Oh, but I must disagree.  Although Pete Townshend
wrote most of the songs, the Who was still a BAND.  If a song called for
subdued drums, I think Moon was profesional enough to realize this, and play
accordingly.  Moon was more than just the guy who played "sloppy drums", he
had the ability to transcend his idiom, and play drums in a variety of contexts.
