Keith Richards will always be cooler than Pete Townshend - that's an unarguable scientific fact. Plus Keith Richards was more knowledgeable on actually playing blues guitar than Pete.

Charlie Watts is a much more talented hands down, he's a much more versatile drummer than Loony Moony ever was.

7. The Who's debut consisted almost entirely of self-penned songs, Stones' debut had one original.
Nothing wrong paying homage to Blues and R&B artist that were influences - the Stone paved the way for Blues-Rock of the 60's and 70's.

9. High-end artrock > sloppy blues rock. Ok, that's an exaggeration but The Who were still much more diverse during much less time.
10. Townshend's nose > just about everything
The Rolling Stones is a better band overall than The Who. The Beatles had popularity The Rolling Stones had talent and The Who were loud - loud doesn't mean talented.
