zeppelin would beat them at what? wreckin' hotel rooms?! hardly! the who 'invented' hotel wreckin.' the who went from three minute, top forty jingle pop singers through several decades and ended up on broadway. along the way they began the first throes of punk (if you don't hear punk in "rich man's blues" from 'live at leeds' you don't have ears for punk); along with zeppelin, endured a decade that started with peace and love and ended with disco and stil kept pumping; and influenced at least two generations. my g-g-g-g-generation.
having witnessed these two bands twice each, i must admit to being a fan of both. camped, tripping for zeppelin tickets for the physical graffiti tour even but live? no one.......'no one' beats the who live. and for me, that's how bands ought be judged.
