not to compare them musically but it's like The Who in this category of classic bands that are actually pretty mediocre unless you were high when the albums were dropped

You seem painfully nostalgic for a time that you didn’t even live through. By that, I mean the punk ethos of redefining talent and craftsmanship. Yes, The Who needed to be knocked off their pedestal but after that first wave of punk no wave aged just slightly it was “pssssssst we loved all that bloated rocknroll all along.” There was a creative artistic motive behind the artists that deconstructed bands like The Who but to continue to celebrate punk through that lens reeks of the same sad nostalgia that was the clinging to the 60’s in the 80’s. And now we’re talking 4 decades or even 5 plus.
So go listen to Tommy. You’re free.
