I know they used keyboards/synths but JPJ isn't that good...Regardless Entwhistle is a better bassist (See The Real Me) . Drummers who can compare to Bonham off the top of my head (I'm guessing the Meg White thing was a joke):
Moon
Bruford
Miles
Giles
Carey
Pert
Devendorf
Portnoy (sp?)

Wrong. He's no Wakeman or Manzerek but he is a pretty damn good keyboardist, he showed himself to be a very capable pianist during live performances of No Quarter. He also knew his way around a Mellotron, as demonstrated in Kashmir and The Rain Song.

Granted he's a bass player first, but his keyboard playing, string arangements and his overall talents as a multi-instrumentalist were an important part of Zeppelins sound in the latter years. JPJ was by no means lacking behind the rest of the band. Thats a common misconception.
