first of all, I ment "shine" you dick. It dosen't take a genius to 
figure that out. Second of all compare lyrics, musical variety 
the complexity of Townshend's writing to the Beatles and you will be 
pleasently surprised ( Beatles suck cock) i mean that in a nice way. 
Don't start this "Beatles sold more albums shit" because that don't mean 
crap! The Beatles just appealed to more people. Imagine what the Who 
would have been like if they came out on stage with suits on and played 
like a bunch of homos! Ever see the movie Quadrophenia?   .. Well if so 
remember the part where Jimmy goes into a room and turns on the TV and 
sees the Who? Well when his father walks in he did not seem to pleased. 
If it were the Beatles up there playing Yellow Submarine (probably the 
worst song I ever heard) he would not have complained.   Get my point?
I'll say he's better probably because ... he is!
