Whoever it was (someone in the group or management) that decided to hire drummer Keith Moon got that one thing correct. I liked Keith's drumming, but when Jeff Porcaro and Vinnie Colaiuta came along in late 1970s with their insane drumming styles, I switched to becoming a fan of their work and listened to those two on various albums (different groups) over the years.
o/t:
The one thing that always impressed me about Frank Zappa was Zappa knew how to hire the best talented musicians to play in his various group ensembles over the decades. Zappa was a decent guitarist, but his strengths were music composing and hiring talented performers that could understand his music and play the pieces flawlessly. iirc from reading a magazine interview with Frank back in the 1980s:
"I consider myself a good guitarist, but not like guitarist Steve Vai talented. That is why I hire performers that are talented like Steve Vai to play my music."
It's that genius that made me appreciate Frank's attitude even if Frank's personality might have rubbed off on some folks the wrong way.
