Comparative albums for the period:

Tommy Released: 23 May 1969
Who's Next Released: 14 August 1971
The Stones
Their Satanic Majesties Request Released: 8 December 1967

1969 Let It Bleed Released: 5 December 1969
1971 Sticky Fingers Released: 23 April 1971
The Who were never at that time, or ever, in the same league as the Stones - I bought all the records, I saw the bands live ..... at the time ..... you're only playing catch-up ......
Just because I "wasn't there" doesn't mean I know nothing. I wasn't around in the American Civil War but I know plenty about the subject.
I'd leave you standing on a proper conversation about music and I certainly don't need to consult Wikipedia for my fact finding mission.
You are obviously a "huge" Stones fan otherwise you would be having a duscussion instead of being argumentative.
But you are known for that.

The Who, like the Rolling Stones were always a rock band. True, they both had hits which put them in the 'pop' bracket, but The Who were much heavier in their style than the Stones ever were.
I like both bands and have seen each three times live.
