The Who. Quadrophenia & Who's Next trump any Beatles work, IMO. And their early stuff is more listenable than the Beatles's early work, though neither were that good.

"There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious—makes you so sick at heart—that you can't take part. You can't even passively take part. And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all." -Mario Savio

Going with the Beatles. I believe their music will last longer.

I never liked the Beatles. But The Who are one of my favorite bands. So my support will firmly stay with Daltrey and Co.

The Beatles are great, perhaps one of, if not the, greatest bands of all time, but I can just listen to the Who over and over and over again without stopping. If I had to choose, the Who. But, I'd rather they be tied.

Favorite songs by both:

-The Who: Won't Get Fooled Again, Baba O'Riley, and Behind Blue Eyes (Just all touching).

-The Beatles: Hey Jude, Helter Skelter, and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (All classics).

Haven't really listened to The Who that much, so I'd have to say the Beatles.

In my opinion: The Beatles, no contest.

Son't get me wrong I love The Who but The Beatles are amazing and are my favourite band of all time.

The who.
"The sovereign represents the state; he and his people form but one body, which can only be happy as far as united by concord. The prince is to a nation he governs, what a head is to a man; it is his duty to see, think and act for the whole community, that he may procure it every advantage of which it is capable."-Friedrich der Große

I say The Who, but my friend personally turned me off The Beatles. So I am very biased.
