And yes, I know that Jagger and Richards were both in the band in the beginning. Perhaps one reason why they are disliked by some is because they threatened to "out stone" the Stones?

If this album is any indication of how their other work might be (I haven't heard anything else), then I might just like prefer guys more than the Stones themselves. I've never been fully able to get into the Stones music, though I do enjoy alot of their songs. I don't really get what all the hype is around them...

But anyway, what's there not to like about Tommy? I thought it was a great new direction for the Who. I now see the influence that S.F. Sorrow had on it, but I wouldn't consider it a knock-off or anything...
