who vs. beatles

[TJLY99@aol.com]

ya know, ya better be careful about anything you say referring to other bands 
like the beatles cause let's face it, there are some on this list who like 
the beatles alot, and like the who alot as well. and there may be others who 
like zeppelin and Queen and i'm sorry if i offended them by saying that they 
were swimming in rock excess and all. (by the way, if you look at those vh1 
documentaries on those bands, they say the same thing about the excesses so 
i'm not the only one)    i hope this puts an end to this subject. 

by the way, yes the who were the FIRST hard rock band and it paved the way 
for others to come and yes they were creative in the studio, especially pete 
but what about artists like frank zappa, and brian wilson, and bob dylan? 
their albums came out before "sgt. pepper" and "tommy" did. do you think they 
were pretty creative in the studio and in their songwriting and paved the way 
for anything?
