I've always heard that most of the really important punk-rock bands
respected The Who above all the other 60's acts.  The problem was with
the rock critics who jumped on the punk bandwagon and started bashing The
Who for not sounding like The Sex Pistols.  The Who had the gracious
attitude to support punk and stay the hell out of its way.  No wonder
Lydon has respect.
