Tony was an absolute monster - he doesn't get the respect he deserves because he's too often thought of as a "disco" drummer: but a disco drummer with enough balls to play with Led Zeppelin. RIP Tony - miss ya - big time.

And Chic are too often thought of as just 'disco'. Chic albums are packed full with musicians' chops, tasty chord sequences and wonderful grooves. You're meant to dance to it but it's FAR more thsn just 'disco'.

Tony was the main reason I was a fan, initially. When they were hot, I was still a kid and even though I knew the other members from their other works, It was his drumming that really, really caught my attention....and still does. Over the years I realized he played for so many other artist as a session musician. As I look back now, it was always his drumming in the other artist songs that got my attention even though I didnt know it was him at the time. Anyway, I'll always be fan and it's a shame we lost both he and Robert so soon! We miss ya!

I was in second grade and remembered hearing some like it hot on the radio one morning on the way to school and fell in love with your brothers style of playing and to this day your brothers style is a huge ingredient in my style of playing...God Rest his soul, He was taken way too soon.

Not the same without Robert Palmer. Tony was a great drummer and from what I can see he was intelligent and pleasant to talk to. Michael Des Barres is very good as a frontman, but he didn't have Roberts signature voice or presence. John Taylor is a fine bassist and did a good job on this.

A look of wondering if Andy Taylor was actually going to show up and finish his parts for the Notorious album I bet. Two band members of Duran did not re-enter the fold, if I've got it correct. A paired down 'version,' of Duran would tour that summer. I got to see them for that show. John Taylor and Steven Ferone were an amazing pairing.

Tony Thompson is underrated because he never makes the lists of the best drummers hardly ever. He's never spoken about when they speak of greatest drummers. I've NEVER seen Tony on any list above the Top 40. Such a shame, too. I've followed his drumming since I was learning to play drums in 1979. Power Station were good, but his drumming and Robert Palmer's vocals drove them to be as memorable as they are.

DesBarres was a poor choice for stepping in for Robert Palmer. Tough for anyone to follow Robert but DesBarres just can't sing very well at all and so it didn't work on any level...apart from the party aspect before and after the shows.
