The Who were Rolling Stone Magazines "Band of the Year" *in 1979!* Well
after TOMMY & WHO'S NEXT. The Who were HUGE in the late '70s & early
'80s. HUGE. Much "bigger" than the Kinks.
The Kinks were a great band, but come on.... The general consensus among
"rock scholars & critics" is that The Who were a much bigger, better, &
more influential group than The Kinks. I don't see how you can claim
otherwise.
