While most bands in the 60s were pumping out 2-3 albums a year (admittedly
with many covers and weak songs), The Who could barely get out one a year.
Most bands made their name by records, namely singles.  The Who made their
name on the road, live.
The Who were on tour while others were in the studio.
The Beatles stopped touring in '66, The Stones didn't tour much after '66
until late in '69, The Kinks were banned in the US until '69.  Duriung the
same period The Who were rarely off the road.
