Best British Drummer of the 60s

Who do you feel was the best drummer to come out of Britian in the sixities?
I'll name the five most popular and you rank them from 1 to 5(1 being the best and then so on). Forgive me if you feel that I have left someone deserving out but these are the ones who immediatley spring to mind and here they are in no particular order and you decide:

Keith Moon
Charlie Watts
John Bonham
Mitch Mitchell
Ginger Baker

I don't like to use the word "best". So, I'll go with "favorite". John Bonham is not only my favorite British drummer of the 60's, he's my favorite drummer, period. As far as this topic goes, my next pick of British drummers would definately be Keith Moon. And then Mitch Mitchell.

I also got to see Ginger Baker w/ Cream a year and a half ago, and he was still amazing. He blew me away. nod

And u know what pali? I got that not wanting to use the word "best" but "favorite" from u! I remember a long time ago, shortly after I first joined this site, I ran a thread titled "Besides Hendrix, who's the best black guitarist?" And I remember u saying 'Well, I rather use the word "favorite"! And I thought, "yeah, that is better. It's all about u prefer since their all good." So Pali u hipped me to something and I adopted it. Just giving credit where credit is due.
