Keith Moon<\/a> is remembered as an animal, and I mean that literally given that he was reportedly the inspiration behind the Muppet\u2019s own frantic drummer. Smashing up kits worldwide, it was Moon\u2019s crazed and wild style that helped make The Who a sensation and contributed massively to the band\u2019s allure as a high-octane live act that people came in their droves to see. But surprisingly, his own musical taste was much gentler.<\/p>\n That was revealed when Moon came to make his solo album, Two Sides Of The Moon. In 1975, the drummer went it alone, proving his power as a percussionist could translate to other positions as he transformed himself into a frontman. He didn\u2019t, however, transform himself into a songwriter. While he\u2019d contributed to the writing of a handful of songs for The Who, he seemed to just want to do karaoke here and filled the record with only covers.<\/p>\n The track listing is revelatory, though.<\/a> If songwriting is designed to give us an insight into the artist at hand, Moon\u2019s song choices did the same thing, revealing some of his all-time favourite songs as a look into his musical tastes. Fans might have expected something loud and aggressive, but in reality, what they got was something softer.<\/p>\n That\u2019s especially the case when it comes to the Beatles track he chose to include. The Who were huge Beatles fans, as seemingly every band in Britain at that time was. As the two groups were on the rise around the same time, they became friends and peers, especially Moon, who would later contribute to \u2018All You Need Is Love\u2019<\/a> as part of the all-star cast on that track.\u00a0<\/p>\n
