The Who was the first band I ever really got in to. The first song I ever heard by them was My Generation. I looked them up a bit and came across The Rolling Stones. The first song I heard by them was (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction. I immediately felt a sence of rivalry between these two bands. After listening to more and more of both of their music I decided that The Rolling Stones had more of a selection. I still love The Who, but The Rolling Stones win it for me.

Nothing happens in 2½ year, and then suddenly the thread becomes relevant again.. But hey! This thread IS still relevant..

What my choice would be? Arhh, still need to listen to too many albums with the Who to make MY comment relevant. I'll come back some other day!

The Who. They took rock seriously and believed it might make the world a better place. The Stones are mainly a get drunk and party band. So if that's your thing....

Personally I like the Stones more. I would like to claim that they were more influential, but I feel like The Beatles made the Stones not as relevant. The Who seems to have hit their high period more in the 70s, escaping the Beatles.

Plus they were some of the first to smash their instruments, which has since become part of Rock and Roll, from Nirvana to Muse.

It's very hard to chose between two of my favorite bands. But I must go with The Who. Keith Moon and John Entwistle were the best rhythm section of any band that ever took the stage. And The Who just seemed to have more fun being together in a band.

The Who - I think, they are more "original". RS has never been a band that leads the way. Compare to other: The Beatles, The Cream, The Animals, The Kinks, The Pretty Things and The Pink Floyd.

The Who for me.

I think The Rolling Stones longevity has been detrimental to how I see them. Although I love Let it bleed (by virtue of the fact that it doesn't have their most hackneyed songs), the fact they've been peddling these songs for god knows how long over and over in every corner of the cube takes away from their songs' specialness... they captured a moment in time... now a become a stick with which to beat you.

I know the Who have also been going for a bit (until recently of course), but they haven't been so highly visible, and invading my consciousness everytime they launch a new overblown rehashed attempt to relive passed glories mega global dominance even if you get a ticket you'll be so far away from the stage you may as well be at home watching on television travelling museum.

In high school (1968), I remember that the druggies liked the Stones and the jocks liked the Who

Nice match, I'd say The Rolling Stones. More rock classics basically. Plus The Who didn't write Sympathy for the devil.

Of course I am going with the Stones. They have one of rock music greatest song catalogs. The depth of quality of their is better. The Who were more complex but The Rolling Stones are not called the greatest rock and roll group of all time because they were complex.

Haven't been on here in a while...

I'd have to go with The Rolling Stones although I love The Who also. They're the missing link between blues and rock and the combo of Richards/Jagger came up with so many great songs. Honkey Tonk Woman, Under My Thumb, Paint it Black, You Can't Always Get What You Want, Rocks Off, Sympathy for the Devil, Street Fighting Man and Brown Sugar are all top of the line Blues/Rock Classics.

The Who. No slight meant to the Stones, but those men were masters of their craft and Pete Townshend was possibly rock and roll's greatest songwriter.

Definately the Who for me. The Stones are great and they have some of the best bluesy rock out there, but The Who come into line so well with single like "I Can See For Miles" and "Won't Get Fooled Again". Keith Moon and Pete Townsend are one of the best Guitar-Drummer duo, every time Moon does a fill it comes in time with Townsend's guitar, it's brilliant.
