Listen to Quadrophena, or Live At Leeds...You cant tell me that Townshend didnt have some skill.

He was a major influence on Hendrix to boot, Hendrix called him a mad genious... People give Hendrix credit for a lot of things, primarly his use of lots of distortion and feedback and techniques like pick scrapes and stacked amplification, things that Townshend was doing years prior...Rock music would be noticebly different without Pete Townshend.
