I think they were groundbreaking when they first came out but later everyone became climatized to them. I am sure they rocked harder than anyone that posts on this board.

I dunno....savage clone kicks mucho asso on stage.

Have you really heard later Who? Listen these and if you say after listening, those songs are fat and wasteful, I really wonder:

I don´t think also it´s fair to compare the Who to the Jam. I think Jam was just a shadow from the greatness of the Who. Of course you can hear the Who influences in Jam´s music, but when the Jam was very one-sided, Who has succeeded to put something from almost every style of pop music and still sounded themselves. And they never turned into same kind of AOR-maker as the Jam in their final albums. Of course Who´s style has naturally become more mature in the later albums, but in my opinion not in a bad way.

for what it's worth, The Who announce tour:

i find this band about as interesting as just not listening to any music at all

Just listened to live at Leeds.....

if you like live rock n roll then you'll love this.

I just watched KIDS ARE ALRIGHT. (No, not that indie film from a few years ago.)

I ended up liking them less, but I can see how this flick could turn on the curious and satisfy the converted.

Worth checking out.
