John Bonham is not only the greatest rock drummer; he is the greatest player of any instrument in a rock-and-roll context.
The greatest rock musician is the dude who has the most rock and roll coming out of his instrument. So that leaves us with him, and Bo Diddley.

If I want technical, I can turn on my computer and get a computerized drum beat...what you find in many of today's pop song. I want style, feeling and originality...I want Bonham.

For a dude who's self taught alot of his chops are of the same caliber as Buddy Rich,listen to some big band solo's with Rich and Krupa going back and forth(drum battles)Bonzo possessed alot of the technical abilities these "drum legends"had and I make no disrespect about Krupa or Rich and am not compairing Bonham to them,just pointing out some similarities between a self taught on pots and pans lad from England and two of the most wellknown drummers considered to be 2 of the best ever.

@guitarttimman I bought a tuition DvD from Steve Smith and he had a whole section dedicated to Bonham. A guy with the technical expertise that puts hookers out of the blowing minds business felt it appropriate to dedicate (I forget how long) of his tuition dvd to the beats of Bonham.
I think everyone who matters appreciates JB.

Great clip. Nick mason at 2:10!
Today is the 31st death anniversary of John Bonham. He died on 25 september 1980. Thumb up to honour him. This is not a Spam, just a cheer to Bonzo.

Do you know what really bothers me? When people say there's more technically skilled drummers now days and they can't even appreciate someone who was so uniquely awesome as Mr. Bonham! As a musician myself, I know there's much more to real "music" than technical ability alone! A unique style that stands out and is different from others, is worth MORE than the most technical playing in the world. It's true that Bonham had BOTH! and his style is still unmatched by any drummer even today!
