Without a doubt one of my favourite drummers. I personally don't like using the word 'powerhouse' but in this case I'll make an exception.

Why I like this song:

R.I.P. Perry Bamonte

I think this was my first exposure to The Cure. I knew of them beforehand but this as when I heard their music. Or at least knew it was The Cure.
And I honestly couldn't ask for a better starting point.

Obituary: Are You Old Enough

Song title: Are You Old Enough?

Artist: Dragon

Year: 1978

Why I like this song:

R.I.P. Robert Taylor

I have heard this song countless times on commercial radio over the years. Which is impressive for a song about underage sex. 
But that is typical for Dragon: Producing songs that are radio-friendly at first glance but are hiding a dark undercurrent in clear sight.
You wouldn't think this was a band of trouble-makers/bad-boys listening to this (when compared to, say, Guns N'Roses) but such was the career of Dragon: Nastiness lurking underneath a polished sheen
