But... I find them incredibly boring and lacking musically hooks. I know this sounds harsh, but their sound just doesn't do it for me, and aside from the four points I made above, I hear them as their day's Nickelback.

If you think The Who were the Nickelback of their time then you might just be an idiot.
You listed Tommy, Quadrophenia, and Live At Leeds. Have you actually listened to those albums?
