i like "i can see for miles" and i think thats from later Who, but otherwise i dont really like them as they got stadiumish.

Have you really heard later Who? Listen these and if you say after listening, those songs are fat and wasteful, I really wonder:

I donīt think also itīs fair to compare the Who to the Jam. I think Jam was just a shadow from the greatness of the Who. Of course you can hear the Who influences in Jamīs music, but when the Jam was very one-sided, Who has succeeded to put something from almost every style of pop music and still sounded themselves. And they never turned into same kind of AOR-maker as the Jam in their final albums. Of course Whoīs style has naturally become more mature in the later albums, but in my opinion not in a bad way.
