There can’t be The Who without OX and Animal

They really should have changed their name to The Two

And Wilco needs to bring back Ken Coomer and Leroy Bach. And a hologram of Jay Bennett.

Don’t make me laugh…

Ox and Moon are two of the greatest of the great…you can’t compare them to Tweedy’s hired hands..no disrespect to Jay…

The rhythm section of The Who was The Who! With Pete’s slashing guitar over it.

You take away the rhythm section you ain’t got the band

I don’t think I am saying anything controversial

not bad, I like the half who better
I still think pete/roger probably put on a fantastic performance tho

Sure. I bet they do

Let's not get into this debate…okay lets.  So The Rolling Stones should've changed their name when Brian Jones died, ok, maybe not, well then when Bill Wyman left, no, okay how about when Charlie Watts died? No?
What about the Eagles in the 70's losing founding members.
Allman Brothers losing the amazing Duane Allman.  Literally they were not Allman brothers.
Fleetwood Mac when Lindsey Buckingham left in the 80's and recently got kicked out?
E-Street Band when Clarence died?

Yeah Zeppelin stopped completely when Bonham died, and Grateful Dead changed name when Garcia died but those are exceptions.

With regards to The Who - The primary songwriter and two most famous members (and front men) can call themselves whatever they want.  Townshend and Daltrey were/are the only irreplaceable members of The Who.

for the causal greatest hits fans, yes
but moon and entwhistle are some of the most respected at their craft as just about anyone out there

Bands do stuff all the time

I think as long as you have Wood who is not original, Keef and Mick you have enough of the essence of the Stones…it works

Without Entwistle and Moon you do not have enough of the essence of The Who

Of course they can call themselves anything but I couldn’t see them live and think “this is The Who “

Daltrey and Pete are legends.

Eagles? Who cares
Allmans: they never came close to being the same band..I mean they stopped recording great new music one year after Duane died! Of course Dickey is great and they could bring it live but Eat a Peach features last great studio stuff

Fleetwood Mac with dude from crowded house is a horrible joke

E Street Band? It’s Bruce Springsteen so who cares who is in it or not

There is a caveat though


Zak Starkey, The Who’s drummer I think for 25 years , and ringo’s son supposedly learned to play the drums from Moon so ….

Just not enough for me to think it’s The Who

But Daltrey and Pete is not A bad thing

I think people don’t appreciate moon and ox enough..watch some isolated tracks of them playing live..mind blowing

Part of issue is for a while Ox was replaced by Pino Palladino who I cannot stand

He was with Oasis for a minute there towards the end and I was surprised how good he was live.

You really gotta hand it to him.
