WHAT?????? you must have had your head in the sand since '74...or just OBLIVIOUS...

Yes, but long after they'd peaked. Even with Keith, they hadn't done anything wonderful since '74.

Dont forget that half of their band died, the drummer and the bassist.

I disagree somewhat. While they were much better live than they were in studio (obviously, seeing as how they were the greatest live band of all time), they did release good studio albums. Everything they did from Sell Out to Quadrophenia is superb, great enough to rank as a lesser band's sole crowning achievement. For the Who, each is just one in a series of spectacular albums (though if I had to pick one, I'd pick Quadrophenia).

I think that the reason the who arent more popular is because they werent a great studio band but as a live band they were unmatchable, but live performances are rarely noticed.

Curt Cobain owed a lot to these guys, who were old enough to be his grandpas by the time he started to thrash around and make noise with a guitar.

Be fair, compared to the Mighty 'Oo, most bands came of looking like a bunch of amateurs. Mind you, I reckon their prime started the moment Moon joined, although I will conceed that, live, they peaked in the late sixties/early seventies.

I swear, I don't know if it's the acid or what but this is one of the strangest (and most violent) versions of Sparks that I have heard.
