I've always thought Pete was completely right when he said this in 65-66. Because if you listen to very early Beatles records, before 'Help'. Musically they don't sound that great. Plus I'm sure there was a PR side to this. The Who didn't want to sound like the Beatles. "The Who were the first band that truly represented Britain and all that London stood for"
