Moon vs Watts????

OK, no disrespect to Watts, but this is an absolutely INSANE remark.  Moon could take the drums to uncharted territory while keeping perfect time.  Moon's speed and creativity were relentless and his stage presence is unmatched to this day.  Watts was an extremely good drummer, even exceptional, but wasn't even second best in his role with the Stones.  Jagger and Richards were and are both better at what they do than Watts.  In the Who, a musically superior band (for pure musical ability, anyway), Moon and Entwistle probably battle to a draw, all things considered.  This is more than enough proof that Moon was the better drummer.  No drummer has been able to match his shere power on drums, all things considered.
