Let's face it, The Who is the greatest, most influential rock & roll outfit of all times.
hello again and welcome to the 3rd installment of my controversial and exciting *Let's face it* thread series on rock&roll
from each individual musician in the band to record sales and especially such things as power chords and marshall stacks, The Who gave it all to rock & roll. |

Here's how I generally break it down: There's The Beatles, then there's "everybody else". And for "everybody else" The Who is my favorite band of all time.
Influential tho? Hmmm.....no one sounds like The Who, no one plays like Townshend or sings like Daltry or plays bass like Entwhistle. And the drums? No one (except maybe John Bonham of Zeppelin) can compare to Keith Moon. LONG LIVE ROCK!!!

The Beatles were a pop band that lasted 4 years. The Who were a rock & roll band that lasted generations. I'd agree the Beatles were/are more POPular.
But The Who's influences in rock are well-documented. everyone from Pink Floyd and Jimmy Hendrix to the Sex Pistols cite The WHo as an influence. |

Actually I hate The Who. The only song I liked was "Eminence Front" - everything else to me was boring, boring, boring.
If you want influential, look for The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeplin (who I guess are now more thought of as thieves lately, but they still had influence I guess). And of course, every blues band and musician that ever was.

Hard to say, but you do make a valid point. I've been to the who twice and they're on my list of favorite shows. I've been to a couple rolling stones shows too. I can't say one was better than the other because they both rock. Add a handful of dead shows, Pink Floyd and Robert Plant shows. It's hard to put one group at the top.

But when it comes strictly Rock & Roll, their contribution was pretty much Sgt Peppers, I don't mean that as a slight, but when it comes to pure rock&roll- the volume, the smashing guitars, the killer chords, the rock opera, synthezisers and more, a lot more is all The Who. it's nutty to think they both started in 1964. although john and paul were long time pals before that. |

Who are you kidding " The Who" were just an average band, like Jerry and the Pacemakers.
The Beatles, like them or not produced album after album of ground breaking music. Led Zeppelin was a fantastic band that changed rock music, albums 1 and 2 are still ground breaking, and sound fresh today. Is there one good who song? |

same could be said for The Who/The Detours. I didn't mean to suggest The Beatles and The Who instantly each came together in 1964.

The Beatles "lasted" 7 years (1963-1970) in terms of recorded output. They formed in 1956 (tho the Ringo-era lineup wasn't settled until '62). In terms of influence (pop, rock, metal, country, gospel, folk, EVERYthing) no band in the history of mankind can rival The Beatles. They simply did (mostly) everything first, including Pete Townshend's infamous feedback. This is why it's the Beatles and everyone else. The Who "lasted" from 1964-1978 with Keith Moon (the only lineup that matters) but officially broke up in 1982. They DID "last" longer than The Beatles but only recorded 10 studio albums vs. The Beatles 13 (in half the time).

Those stats you post are valid stats and you can't disagree with them. Unfortunately, Rock&Roll can't really be measured in stats. Those stats don't really convince me that The Beatles were more influential on Rock& Roll as a thing, than The Who. |

I have a fourteen year old daughter and I see how crazy they get. I mean, she has a bad day because her favorite singer got a haircut she doesn't like. If you look at their early history, the Beatles were more "edgy" and hardcore, especially in their German days. They were punk rockers and into all kinds of drugs. They gained a small following there,in the UK... But they had to clean their image up to take it the next level. What made them big was hype and marketing.

You could argue that the iPhone had a greater influence than the Who did. Sure they sold millions of albums, but Apple changed how music was bought, giving a lot more power to the consumer. So there. Throw out your crappy TheWho Albums, and go buy an iPod. ![]()

This was never a Beatles v The Who argument.
I dont think anyone would ever claim that The Beatles were a R and R band. The OP simply suggested that The Who were THE most influential Rock and Roll group ever. Nothing written in this thread has convinced me otherwise, and mention of The Beatles misses the point. Now if you were to make an argument for The Stones, then you might have a point worth listening to. As a left field point, I actually feel a great deal of jingoistic pride in that every single act mentioned above hails from Blighty. God save the Queen.

Keith Moon was the best drummer that ever lived, when he died The Who were just a shell of themselves after that. Same with Metallica after Cliff Burton died.

BTW, the Stones (and Zeppelin) were both, at heart, blues bands. To me the Stones play American music while The Who sound more English because they play a non-blues based rock (and I think were the first to do so). Zeppelin is kind of an amalgamation of the Stones and The Who, IMHO. |

I wish the who never played the Super Bowl. They were so off and it takes something away from their legacy.
As for influential, I'd stack The Clash up against anyone. Listen to music today and you'll hear more Clash than Beatles or Who in it... Which is a bigger deal than in the past since so much is derivative these days and creativity is being pushed out of the spotlight. And on the business side, nobody comes close to KISS. Their music was nothing compare to the other bands mentioned, but in a competition, if I had a choice between having Gene Simmons sell dog turd or anyone else sell anything else, I'd take Gene Simmons pretty much every time. That guy could market breast implants to nuns if you gave him a few minutes alone with them. |

While he was more a blues man than a rock n roll singer, I would argue that few have cast such a shadow of influence over the rock world than Robert Johnson.

His music is electrifying... I read about him last night, so have been listening to him today, and there really is something supernatural about him and his music.
