don't get me started on how flipping average the Beatles were.
Bonhams drumming was ace though, not my favourite drummer but in the top 5

This is the bit I fail to understand
As far as I can tell, the only thing that made him different to an average rock drummer was that he hit the drums very hard. There are some impressive fills, some impressive footwork on Good Time Bad Times, but I just find his style far too rigid. I've much more time for jazz-influenced drummers like Mitch Mitchell or Ginger Baker. (Though again, perhaps I'm being old-fashioned and clinging to the ideal that the bassist holds down the time and the drummer plays around it)

Must admit that I'm no drummer
but while you've deemed Led Zep, Radiohead and The Beatles average while singing the praises of Queen, well I find it strange. Seeing as you love Queen so much here's what yer man Roger Taylor thinks about Bonham:

The greatest Rock`n`Roll drummer of all time was John Bonham who did things that nobody had ever even thought possible before with the drum kit. And also the greatest sound out of his drums - they sounded enormous, and just one bass drum. So fast on it that he did more with one bass drum than most people could do with three, if they could manage them. And he had technique to burn and fantastic power and tremendous feel for rock`n`roll

So because I like Queen I must agree with Rog?
Bloody hell do you lot actually read what you're posting before you post it? Best 5 drummers ever (IN MY OPINION)

1. Abe Cunningham
2. Buddy Rich
3. Joey Jordisson
4. John Bonham
5. Aidan Girt

That's not what I said at all. Idiot.
Does it not carry some weight if one of your favourite and most respected drummers rates Bonham as "the greatest rock and roll drummer of all time"? Mean nothing at all? Or should be completely ignored?

Of course it means something but not neccessarily for me.
Hitler might have loved shitting doesn't mean I have to take everything else he says as verbatim. It's an opinion you pedantic bumder so calm the fuck down.

I take it Hitler is in one of your favourite bands then?
Or alternatively you're a big fan of the nazis?

I think 99% of things said goes right over your head.

I fully understand what you're saying I just think its a very blinkered view.
