    Bull shit... the Who definitely had more than 13 good songs. Hell, they had more than 13 GREAT songs! Their work from 1965 through 1969 is amazing, and their work from 1971 through 1974 also really good.

    I easily prefer the Who over the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin. Neither band was as creative as the Who, and in my opinion, neither had even close to the amount of personality that the Who had. And as rhasta.penguin pointed out, they were a really great live act (Just listen to Live at Leeds).

    So's the part with Tina Turner, I think.

    Did you know that Arthur Brown is also in the movie?

    I didn't know that either. What part does he play?

    I find the Tommy very amusing in a bad movie sense. The same with Litzomania.

    I think the album Tommy is quite quite over-rated. :eek: ... :D

    I think Tommy completely sucks.

    I stand by my belief that the Stones are better

    my favorite songs are Pictures of Lily, the Kids are Alright, Anyhow Anyway.....

    They have some good songs, but I feel that the stones put out some decent stuff AFTER the early 70's while the Who did not.

    Of course, i wish the stones would have gone away ages ago.

    I definitely have to disagree there. It certainly does not suck. Ok if you don't like it, but really, Ashlee Simpson sucks. Tommy does not suck.

    Eh, it's a useless argument anyway. It's all preference.

    quote: better what ? dressers / dancers ./ what? .

    in my OPINION, they have more good songs, and put out material I like better for a longer period of time...the good Who rocks, I totally agree, and they had their time, but looking at their overall catalogues, i think the Stones put out more actual songs that I like.

    The fact is, they BOTh should have quit a long time ago.

    I do like maybe 2 songs off Tommy, I just hate the story.
