Scott:

It's more than that. Listen to Jones on the Small Faces material, and you
can see why he might have been considered a good choice by Pete. Too bad he
didn't play like that for The Who, huh? But he didn't.

Oswaldo:

The best choice (IMHO) would have been Carl Palmer, someone used to working
in the three man setup and even worked with Pete in the past (Townshend
produced the Arthur Brown album, on which Palmer was the drummer). Carl was
even free at the time. It's true he's a very precision drummer, as opposed
to Moon's style, but he does fill better than anyone short of Keith and is
definitely powerful enough.
It would have altered the band's sound, true, but isn't that what Pete
wanted at that time?
