I'm glad they were inducted the same year they were eligible.

The Who had a few great songs, but relatively few great albums. They don't deserve to be honored in this way.

Keith Moon wanted Chicago to tour with The Who, but Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey were not interested.

Pete Townshend is one of the best rock songwriters ever.
