I'm not of the opinion that nothing can compare to the first wave of British Rock. I think you can compare any thing together - it does have to be similar to be able to compare them. It's like saying you can't compare Sunny Afternoon to Rain because they're opposite types of weather.
Anyway I'm not trying to compare the whole opus of The Who and The Jam together. I am comparing the early years of The Jam and The Who, when Peter and Paul both strapped on a Rickenbacker and banged out power chords - of course the went on to be very different bands. I prefer what The Jam did in the 70's to what The Who did. Saying that The Jam is better than The Who it not so much a comparison as it is opinion. Saying The Jam out-Who'd The Who in the 70's was supposed to be tongue-cheek comment.

In fact I've actually met and read about more Led Zeppelin fans over the years, that think there is nobody better than the members of Led Zep. The amount of times, I've had to listen to people harp on that since John Bonham died rock just hasn't been the same. Music wise though, I'll always agree the Led Zep were superior to the Who. The Who are largely legendary for their amazing live show in the 1960s and 1970s.
I know your "Out Who'd the Who" comment was just tongue-in-cheek and I was just yanking your chain a bit with that one.
