In an open and public forum I can display my prejudices anytime I like pal without explanation or apology. The subject of the thread is a pathetic quote from a rock and roll has been which I reflected in my original post.This post needs to be filed under the wtf thread.
Daltreys political opinions bear what relevance to either bands talent or influence ?
You've seen the septuagenarians performances over the last 5 years and that counts for anything in relation to how any serious appreciation of either band should be judged.
Daltreys voice at 77 is not what it was, who'd have thunk it.
If you're going to make a case for the stones being ahead on relevance and quality you've got
to do better than this.
Bringing politics into everything, especially how you judge someone on other merits, is very unhealthy but as you said, you can be prejudiced if you want to.In an open and public forum I can display my prejudices anytime I like pal without explanation or apology.

For what it’s worth, the Stones eclipse the Who by almost every metric. Worldwide album sales, hits, tour receipts and more than twice the number of studio albums the Who have produced. They are both good bands but Daltrey has always been a cock. And btw I have seen both bands a number of time and would choose the Stones live performances every time.
If you broke it down to individual talent or eaxh original member or the bands, I would.say the who in Townsend and particulary Entwhistle had the two best musicians of the lot of them.
But as bands both have their good stuff and their average to poor stuff like any band, and both are a decent listen.
So townsend, entwhistle and moon were all like for like better than the stones members.Moon was an incredible drummer. Charlie was rock solid and had swing but Moon was a force of nature.
There's little point referencing having saw both bands and comparing them when you've just admitted a prejudice.In an open and public forum I can display my prejudices anytime I like pal without explanation or apology.

Both bands - The Who - and The Rolling Stones - were iconic, extremely influential, popular bands. In the States - at least - The Rolling Stones were more popular for sure. I like both bands - Daltrey's attack on the Stones seems to be the sophomoric act of a petulant and perhaps jealous singer.
Cheers. I didn't read the article/context from which this "headline" arose.It asn't an attack, it was athrow away comment blown out of proportion by the modern day need for scandal
