In fact , in the case of the late great Ronnie, I`d go so far as to point out that he wrote "Itchycoo Park" single handedly, was involved in the writing of "All or Nothing" and "Tin Soldier" for the Smalls and was involved with the writing of the Faces best tracks (Witness "Ohh La La ".Reportedly, Rod Stewart refused to sing it, so it was left to The Ronnies, Wood and Lane to get it on vinyl.)
Was a very decent bass player and pour moi (like George and Bonham) is sadly missed.

I love Charlie Watts. I think he express a sense of humour in his drumming - definitely during the experimental part of the Brian Jones years.
Tony Banks of Genesis. Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel had a good run in the 80s becoming house hold names. I always thought Tony Banks was the musical generator of Genesis. He always came up with a decent melody on keyboard.
