I must admit, this is the very first pole that I have ever read that THE WHO has ever come out on top. Being a DIE HARD HARD CORD BEATLES FANATIC, according to VH-1 and Rolling Stone Magazine, THE BEATLES REVOLVER album was voted the all-time greatest album ever recorded and THE BEATLES song "In my Life" was voted the all-time greatest song ever recorded. I guess that PR plays a vital role and has a lot to do with the popularity of the band, song and album at the moment. THE WHO has been very popular lately so they earned and deserve their place in the limelight just like THE BEATLES, LED ZEPPELIN, PINK FLOYD, THE KINKS and THE STONES. After all, all of these bands ARE ROCK ROYALTY and they always will be. ROCK ON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
