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.
Great stuff Truck and thanks for correcting me on that Who song title, I don't hear it very often, but is a great song.
BTW, you must love Triumph which is another Canadian band like Rush. That lead guitarist/singer is another great.
Watched Stevie Ray Vaughn this morning on Austin City Limits. Dude is insane, but you might not like his style.
