And they have made some of the best songs in Rock's history. Just because they didn't like Led Zeppelin doesn't mean they suck.

Yeah, nice job. I was saying Townshend isn't allowed to have an opinion. Am I allowed to have one? The Who sucks compared to Led Zeppelin, and their success was nothing compared to the success of Led Zeppelin. And of course The Who had to admit they were wrong about the future of Led Zeppelin. They were as wrong as they possibly could have been, the name of the band made fun of it, and so did the rest of the world. I like the Who, but let's not compare mice to mammoths. Led Zeppelin and The Who were same era hard rock bands that were a whole lot alike, but The Who was not anywhere near as successful or respected as Zeppelin. With that in mind, do you think Pete Townshend actually doesn't like EVEN ONE song Zeppelin EVER did OR that Townshend has sour grapes about a band that kicked their asses? I can't say for sure, but I see more probability in one than the other.
