You give good reasons why Moon should be considered a god, and on a couple drumer forums I frequent, he is cited by many as one of the best. Almost always in the top 5 or top 10 of all time. But when it comes to technical ability and innovation to the actual art of playing, Bonham is cited more often. I don't think it's as much the "mindless sheep" factor as you do, though, because I've read peoples' reasoning, and they make sense to me. (Though, admittedly, I haven't sat down with my drum teacher and spent entire lessons on Bonham's stuff, just 5 minute blocks here and there.)

Anyway, if you're not having fun with the debate, then I won't needlessly continue it. We're probably approaching this question from two slightly different angles. We can agree to disagree.
