Now this really is a shame. I always have seen Kenney Jones as "filling 
in". Phil Collins is (or was) overpopular and no match for Keith Moon, 
but I definitely think that he could contribute more to The Who than 
Jones or Starkey ever would. But does ALWAYS have to be the leader? Perhaps 
Pete was afraid of the competition? It still isn't too late to find out.
