Keith Moon was The Who's original drummer. While not a particularly good timekeeper, Keith's wild style of drumming was a major component of The Who's sound and their stage show. His off-stage antics were even more incredible and the Muppets' "Animal" was reportedly inspired by Keith.

Keith Moon died in 1978 from a drug overdose. Ironically, this was a prescription medication he was taking to overcome his addiction to alcohol.
