I do like LZ but I go through phases where Plant's voice grates on me.

Here is my short take on No Quarter. Indians in the video are Nez Pierce travelling through the Missoula valley in Montana where I grew up. Those squaws in the last picture look formidable enough that I thought it a good match for this tune. peace

I'm a Stone fan in 100% but c'mon don't tell me Charlie is better than Bohnam. Probably only Keith Moon was close to him.

Alone, behind the kit - without a band - you're probably right about Bonham (not Moon - he had severe timing issues).
Charlie's strengths surpasses most drummers when he's playing WITH the Wonky Wobblin' Stones

Because it's basti's list of his favorites and he can put whatever he likes. Not everyone chooses to follow the Classic Rock Common opinion cliche thank goodness .

Just because a drummer doesn't bang the drums like a maniac doesn't mean he isn't as good. The Stones and Beatles didn't have the kind of songs that called for that kind of drumming.

Agreed.
"The drummer is...a maniac" - might have fit in nicely as lyric on Torn and Frayed.

what you have to look at. could bonham play a stones song even if some swing is missing? yes. could watts play a led zeppelin song even if some power is missing? nope

If Watts can play a garbage can and make it sound good he can play anything.

in over 50 years watts has never shown that he can play any songs that have the speed or complex pattern as most zeppelin tunes

The Stones had different kinds of songs than LZ. Their songs were good enough on their own and didn't require complex drum arrangements to arouse people that thought louder and faster drums were better drums.
The Stones didn't feature the drummer the way LZ did. Doesn't make Watts any less of a drummer.

Ever heard the Velvet Underground?

That's a bizarre assertion. The Temptations? The Miracles? The Four Seasons? I'm pretty sure even Gerry and the Pacemakers had a front man.
