The Who vs Yes
Two of the best rock bands from Britain. They are highly regarded and
had many top charting albums in US as well as UK in the 70s. In fact after Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin, these two were the most successful rock band of the 70s in terms of album chart success. They also have many things in common 1) Their first 8 albums are their core albums and their first two albums did not trouble the US charts 2) They were both pretentious. They made pretentious double albums and epic songs. 3) They had a bassist who played lead. Both of them are generally considered the best bassist of all times 4) Around 1978, most fans (including me) started disowning them ;-) 5) They haven't sold nearly as much as Led Zeppelin/Pink Floyd/Rolling Stones/Beatles, in spite of being of very popular in the 70s 6) Their Internet fans are certifiably insane (just like me) and have delusions of being very intelligent! 7) They were great live So you compare their core 8 albums how would you vote? 1. My Generation vs Yes (very good debut album, but somehow didn't become as popular as their latter ones) 2. A Quick One vs Time And A Word (sophomore slump that has some jewels) 3. Who Sell Out vs A Yes Album (a change of approach and their first success in the US) 4. Tommy vs Fragile (their breakthrough album in the US) 5. Who's Next vs Close to the Edge (their masterpiece) 6. Quadropenia vs Tales From Topographic Oceans (their pretentious never ending snore-inducing double album) 7. Who by Numbers vs Relayer (their most underrated album) 8. Who Are You vs Going For The One (their cheesiest album from the classic rock period... beginning of the end) I chose Yes on all 8 occasions because I consider Yes to a better album rock band. The Who were slightly better live and also made the better singles. What do you think? |
