Before actually sitting down and listening to each of these bands, I hadn't know much of anything about. I just thought that they were both extremely popular and really talented in addition to that. I knew that both of them had played at the Super Bowl and honestly, I HATED each of their performances. But then I look and see that Bruno Mars is playing at the Super Bowl this year and think: Could it get any worse? But to get back to the point, I had no real knowledge on either band.
I thought that the Stones were awful. It was probably the worst thing I've heard since one of my friends tried to become a rapper. They just didn't sound like good musicians and their album was loaded with covers (The one original they had wasn't my favorite either). This might be due to the fact that it was their debut album, but although I haven't heard much of their other stuff, there's no way they can be this "legendary band," which is the way that they are perceived. This is the first thing that we've tried out this year that I honestly hope to never hear again.
Now The Who is an entirely different story. Unlike the Stones they sound like more talented musicians and their original didn't sound like trash. I enjoyed listening to a handful of their songs and "My Generation" stuck out above the rest. Also, they seem like the type of band that would entertaining in concert and it seems that they'd have entertaining videos. I mean the drummer blew up dynamite on stage and didn't tell anyone that he was doing it, and so if that doesn't grab you're attention then I'm not sure what does. So I look forward to listening to more of The Who and much much less of The Rolling Stones.
