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 ......
I was only a kid yes mate, but I've devoted my life since to music. You don't need to question me on it believe me. Why do you think it's all about the hits though? The Who were as popular as the Stones in their own circles. They had their fans as the Stones had theirs. Both bands were huge.
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.
