Bonham, by about the distance from Earth to the Orion Nebula. Pointing out that Taylor sings and write songs doesn't really help his case, Bonham gets songwriting credit on Zeppelin stuff too. Bonham, of course, was a vastly influential player, as
realprog's post indicates. It's like starting a post titled "Who is better, Emerson or Kaye"?
Plus, what's with pigeon-holing Bonham as a "blues-rock drummer"? Zeppelin's repertoire spanned a lot of different styles so Bonham was doing stuff like
Four Sticks,
D'yer Maker (one of my least favorite Zep songs but he's excellent on it),
In The Light (PROG!!!!!!!),
Ramble On etc.
RIP John Henry Bonham.
