 Several rock drummers , including Neil Peart and Dave Grohl , have cited Moon as an influence . The Jam paid homage to Moon on the second single from their third album , " Down in the Tube Station at Midnight " ; the B @-@ side of the single is a Who cover ( " So Sad About Us " ) , and the back cover of the record has a photo of Moon 's face . The Jam 's single was released about a month after Moon 's death . Animal , one of puppeteer Jim Henson 's Muppet characters , may have been based on Keith Moon due to their similar hair , eyebrows , personality and drumming style .
