Are we limiti this game to the 'hits' or just brilliant songs, The Who notoriously poor in the charts, notoriously brilliant at the concept album and live output?Baba O’Riley

That’s 30 :) I missed some pretty obvious ones. But I agree it’s clearly easier for the Stones. It’s child’s play for the Beatles.
Still enjoy The Who more :)
Well, I was trying to do songs most music fans would recognize. So I left “My Wife” off, e.g., and “I’m One” among many others. But all the songs I put on there were ones I recall hearing on album-oriented radio as a teenager, same as most of what @Saddleworth2 did I think with the Stones.Are we limiti this game to the 'hits' or just brilliant songs, The Who notoriously poor in the charts, notoriously brilliant at the concept album and live output?
Unbelievable contribution to this world...............
That's fair, we aren't all going to like and agree on all these things - but some of their creations are brilliant!!!!!!It’s weird really with the who they never register with me I like a few of their songs but they pass me by, I think outside genuine who fans they get forgotten in general. Don’t know why.
Keith Moons biography was great though.
A long while ago I expressed my sense that at my all boys high school, everyone (of the white boys) had a favo(u)rite — you were a Stones guy or a Who guy or a Zeppelin guy. Everyone was also basically a Beatles fan and a Pink Floyd fan, and everyone’s favo(u)rite “hard rock” band was AC/DC, and “new wave” band was U2. It was LZ, The Stones or The Who that differentiated your sub-culture. And no one argued — everyone liked them all but had a preference; no one said “Zep is awesome but the Stones suck.”I would f got about the same before cheating. I really like Tommy and Quadraphenia and on top they have a number of really good songs particularly;

Won‘t get fooled again
after that sorry I struggle.
I saw them twice, once when i was very young and they were good, once a few years ago when they are really milking it. I thought they were poor.
Townsend is a good guitarist and Keith Moon was an unbelievable rock drummer.
To be fair mate, I've literally just ran off to Alexa for Slip Kid - it must have been about 4-6 weeks, seeing it suggested in writing by someone was just too much........... :-)Well, I was trying to do songs most music fans would recognize.

The beauty is, they are both terrific answers.................(and obviously the sheep who suggested the Beatles should have been put down) ;-)A long while ago I expressed my sense that at my all boys high school, everyone (of the white boys) had a favo(u)rite — you were a Stones guy or a Who guy or a Zeppelin guy.

That’s why I like revisiting this topic. I was always part of The Who crew, but my best friend was a Stones guy.
I’m more baba oreilly wont get fooled again or substitute kind in guy, I detest my generationThat's fair, we aren't all going to like and agree on all these things - but some of their creations are brilliant!!!!!!
Try bringing yourself to skip a track on Quadraphenia.............
Substitute is the most underrated of their hits I think.I’m more baba oreilly wont get fooled again or substitute kind in guy, I detest my generation
I will spare you my school stories and the associated music warfare. Netflix have signed us up for three series. Suffice to say, who you liked dictated what teenage strata you belonged to which dictated your social life and ultimately your life choices ;-)A long while ago I expressed my sense that at my all boys high school, everyone (of the white boys) had a favo(u)rite — you were a Stones guy or a Who guy or a Zeppelin guy.
