Keith John Moon (August 23, 1946 – September 7, 1978) was the drummer of the rock group The Who.

He is considered by many musicians as one of the greatest drummers of all time, and clearly one of the most unusual and original drummers in the history of rock and roll. Contemporary drummers such as Neil Peart, Mitch Mitchell, Ginger Baker, and John Bonham could all point to him as a major influence. His continuing influence is also evident in the style of modern drummers such as Jeremiah Green, and Moon's organic, rolling, anarchic, flowingly controlled yet also out-of-control style remains an influence on popular music today.
