The Who = Megalomania
The Rolling Stones = The bee's knees, the cat's pajamas, the greatest thing since sliced bread, the coolest band in Rock and Roll history.

I do too, I want to shake his hand and congratulate him.

My friend who a was a record store owner was telling me the difference between a Beatle fans and a Stones fans. One of the thing he said was that he never came across a used Stones record that was in good condition, they (LPs) were always worn out and scatched up. He said either the Stones fans didn't know how to take care of their records or played the **** out of them. He also said he saw many Beatles LPs and it wasn't unusal that they were in mint or near mint condish.
People are allowed to like The Beatles, it's not a crime to love their music and their story. If the Beatles were as much of a fad as you are letting on, their music wouldn't have stood the test of time and would not be popular today.
