Post-Moon Who

That brings up an interesting question. To what extent do we Who fans like the
Jones-era Who, and why?
I like the post-Who with respect to the boots I've heard from 1979-80. The band
kicked some ass. I think the real falloff for the Who following Moon's death is
Townshend's writing and playing. I think he got tired of the Who, especially
once EMPTY GLASS became a hit. I think he then went through the motions until
he bailed in late '83. Any thoughts? So, my criticisms with post-Moon Who is
not so much with Jones as with Townshend's writing.
