Certainly less prolific as they relied on Townshend almost entirely as writer. Certainly not as popular nor as good a pop group as Beatles. Stones were a different genre as they focused on mining American roots music. The Who were far more about urban British young frustrated males children of post WW2 PTSD UK. Raise you... The Kinks
