And you're clueless... when were The Who not loud and raucous?  Please do tell.

Uh, before Led Zeppelin I came out? The only song they did that was anything like Zeppelin in the early days was "A Quick One While He's Away"

You should know, they're the only band you listen to.
*waits for Badfinger attack*

My Generation is not raucous? Surely this is a joke. I Can See For Miles? I could go on. Keith Moon had to tie his drums together and bolt them to the floor early on so they didn't fall apart during his raucous performances...
My friends call me Keith, but you can call me John.

I was a rust repairer.
I was a rust repairer and full-time survivor.
I survived all the major earthquakes, and the Titanic, and several air crashes.



Out here in the fields
I fight for my meals.

That's fine. I know them all pretty well.
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light.
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright.
The kids are alright.

That's not the same as Led Zeppelin, though. If you want to talk about being loud like "My Generation", I'll gladly accept a comparison to the Velvet Underground. But Zeppelin, oh no, they were different. They had many guitars, all over the place, all playing something different. John Paul Jones would pound out basslines that actually fit in well with the song (Entwistle had great style in playing whatever the hell he wanted, but Jones could do the same thing and have it match the style of the song) Robert Plant would scream and wail in anguish like nothing you've ever seen, and would for extra measure add in some harmonica here and there.
I'm not one to judge, having not heard everything the Who have done, but Led Zeppelin changed the style of music, which is a fact.

You're not going to change my mind and I'm not going to change yours, so if you want to keep whining about all of my points save your breath.

If we could just join hands..
I like Pink Floyd and The Beatles better than both. Plus The Doors, and Bob Dylan!
Mild apprehension.

That was not because of racousisity! That is because Keith Moon was a clumsy drunk and was constantly falling and drooling over his kit! Keith Moon couldn't alcohol without drum! Proven fact!

Besides, the guy choked on his own vomit! What a wussy way to die!

Can you imagine the scene in Hell?!

Satan: So, uh, how did you die?
Keith Moon: WELL I WUZ DRINK OI OI MATE N U SEE DA ALKEEHAL IT WENT CRIKEY TRAVEL DOWN THE WRONG PIPE IT DID AND I GOOD DONE CHOKED ON ME OWN VOMIT!

WUSS!

Thanks Dean I know, but if you're honestly gonna say The Who weren't raucous in the 60's you're just wrong.

Good attempt to provoke me. I'm not so pathetic to retaliate to that.


And Scott, I'm not whining , I'm debating. Why are all disagreements on here considered whining to you. I love Led Zeppelin too, but I do believe The Who were raucous. When I Can See For Miles was released, it was so raucous for the time that it shocked Paul McCartney which prompted him to make Helter Skelter as noisy and raucous as possible.

Dean has spoken. Therefore, Helter Skelter is superior.

Ok, point granted. You're not whining. And the Who were, in fact, raucous. But what I meant when I talked about Led Zeppelin was just something that the Who is not, it's hard for me to explain.

And the person who said "I can See For Miles" was "loud and dirty" Pete Townshend. That album pretty much made him foam at the mouth because he loved it so much, he told everybody about how great he thought it was and cried when it didn't reach #1 on the charts. I'd compare it more to the Velvet Underground, because of the wailing guitar and the fact that while everything around him is sounding completely unorganized, Daltrey is calm and keeps his composure.
