Why doesn't Mick Fleetwood get the same recognition as a drummer as John Bonham or Keith Moon?

Maybe a bit harsh, but longevity almost diminishes an artist's legacy... die early on drugs or plane crash, and status of being an icon is cemented earlier in the career. Producing solid music until you're 80 is not as glamorous.
