Everyone gives Townshend all the credit for the Who's sound but without Ox and Moonie Pete would just be a funny looking skinny boy jumping around on stage.(Granted he can play the shit out of his guitar but so can lots of other Guitar players but few rhythm sections are in the same league with the Who's!)
I still say The Who, circa 1970 (see their Isle of Wight DVD) were the greatest band ever, when you consider the bassist, drummer, singer and guitarist. Watching Zeppelin live is boring compared to watching The Who in their prime.
