David Gilmour is my favorite guitarist of all time, dude still bends string right off the fret board like no other and is a great singer.
Roger Waters blows and was so bad of a bassist Gilmour had to play the bass for him on entire albums and sang most of the songs.
Rush rocks though, love Neil Peart.
Good for him, wish I had dough to throw around like that.
Never really liked the Who much either, I like Rain on Me and Behind Blue Eyes and can play one of them but not a big fan.
All the songs of the Who they play on the radio are annoying as hell to me. I like The Guess Who better lol
Neil Peart of Rush was iconic though, greatest drummer of all time IMO. Love Tool's drummer as well.
That's fine: you can like what you like, but there is an objectivity to the difficulty of playing an instrument and writing out difficult and intricate music (you know how it is, being a musician yourself).
Pretty much the only people on Pete Townshend's level were the prog rockers (Genesis, Yes, ELP, etc.) and even they weren't as grandiose and as fine-tuned as Pete was.
Americans on the whole have never been as big of fans of the Who as the other popular acts of the day and this thread is proof.
And trust me, I recognise the brilliance of Gilmour. Incidentally, he guested on a Pete Townshend tune in the 80s that few people know about and even fewer know that he was a part of it:
How your fingers don't cramp up with almost 6 minutes of that intricacy, I have no clue.
BTW, there's no such song as, "Rain on Me." It's Love Reign O'er Me
And BBEyes is overplayed to death.
I also deem Peart and Danny Carey to be the two best in Rock history.
