you're pretty far off base here. The doors are rated pretty much right where they should be. None of the musicians in the doors are all that great and the doors wrote good solid songs. In fact, some of the insane devotion to them does make them a bit over rated. But, even attempting to claim that the Who wouldn't be anything w/o Moon's antics is extremely short sighted. The Who were a band with excellent musicians in the entire band. Daltrey's vocal range is flat out amazing, Townsend's soloing and writing is second to none, and Enstwistle was a very under rated bassist who was able to handle some very difficult music. Let us also not forget that The Who were also forefathers to Hard Rock, Punk, and Metal. I should also mention that they invented teh Rock Opera Genre and with Both Tommy and Quadrophenia created some of the most amazing music of the past 40 years
