John Paul Jones and John Bonham had more talented and provided a much better rhythm section than the Who's rhythm section. Paul Weller is a much much better guitar player than Pete Townsend. The Who really tanked with Tommy and didn't do anything impressive afterwards. I just think The Jam produced much better music in the 70s than The Who did e.g. David Watts > Eminence Front.

I think both
Who's Next and Quadrophenia are better albums than
Tommy. You're comparing John Entwhistle and Keith Moon to John Paul Jones and John Bonham, its really apples and oranges here, as all of these usually make the top-ten best bass players or drummers of all time anyway. Again comparing the Jam and the Who!!! Two different types of music really and not really that comparable. Strangely enough, the Jam song you've picked out is a Kink's cover
and as I said earlier, the Kinks were far more influential on the Jam than the Who were.
