The beatles vs. the who   stance: the beatles: they changed music, man!:
Don't give me all that "They changed the way we make music" or "They were so deep" crap. I listen to rock and roll to rock and roll, not to ponder life's deeper meanings.
When I listen to rock music, my standard of greatness is whether or not this song makes me want to crank my stereo up or not.
I can't think of a single Beatles song that I can simply turn on and rock out to.
The Who - hands down.
