Ok I just wanted to add my 2 cents in about the Beatles vs. The Who.  Now I 
am by no means a Beatles junkie like I am with the Who.  Sure the Beatles 
were good and I am sure if I listened to some of the much acclaimed albums 
like Sgt. Pepper and Revolver, then I might change my tune.  And one day  I 
will listen to them.  However, I know most of the famous Beatles songs.  ANd 
they are good.  But to me they all sound basically about the same.  And I 
have heard that from a lot of people.  The Who are pretty much in a class of 
their own.  The rock opera concept, and just the general sound of the group 
is so unique and ground-breaking, not to mention they could kick any other 
group's ass as a live act...(now maybe Led Zeppelin in their prime would give 
them a good run for their money)  By the way, has anyone noticed on Green 
Day's song "Warning" how that one guitar sound in the middle of the song 
sounds just like the Who???  Well anyway, maybe I will go find a copy of 
Revolver now to listen to :)  I just think overall the Beatles are WAY 
overrated.  Just my opinion though
