I really, really, really hate to speak badly of the departed, but as great and important a drummer as Baker was, he had a legendary reputation as one of nastiest, argumentative, jealous and pettiest people with almost no redeeming social qualities. In nearly every interview I ever read or watched with him, he exuded bitterness, anger, snobbery and rarely had a kind word to say about anyone else. But then again, maybe as a diehard Who fan I'm a bit biased, since Baker reserved some of his most vitriolic criticism for Keith Moon.
