One other thought...I think the song "Going Mobile" is a good example of a busy drum part that still makes sense in the context of the song. Of course Keith Moon's drumming sounds bombastic compared to someone more restrained like Charlie Watts, but comparing the drumming on "Going Mobile" to "Real Me", I think the performance on the former works well with the song instead of detracting from it like in the latter. And incidentally, disliking specific aspects of a recording doesn't equate to an en masse dismissal of the song or the band.
