Who front man Roger Daltrey disses The Rolling Stones as a "mediocre pub band"

First it was Paul McCartney of The Beatles calling The Rolling Stones a "blues cover band". Now it's the other big band of the 1960s, The Who, specifically front man Roger Daltrey, who's getting in on it, this time calling The Rolling Stones a "mediocre pub band"

In a recent interview, Roger Daltrey had described The Rolling Stones as being a "mediocre pub band". His comments closely mirror those of Paul McCartney, who had dismissed the band as being nothing more than a "blues cover band". In an interview with the Coda Collection, Daltrey gave his opinion. He said "Mick Jagger, you've got to take your hat off to him. He's the number one rock 'n' roll performer. But, as a band, if you were outside a pub and you heard that music coming out of a pub some night, you'd think "Well, that's a mediocre pub band!""

In the interview, Daltrey also commented on how he envied Led Zeppelin front man Robert Plant. He described Plant's experience fronting Led Zeppelin as being vastly different than Daltrey's experience fronting The Who. "I managed to get the short straw of all the singers in all the bands. No solos! Who songs are all lyrics. Robert Plant - Percy, as we call him - he's a very good friend of mine, and we do joke about it. He said you could go off and read a book when [Jimmy] Page started up a guitar solo or [John] Bonham started on a drum solo. And I suddenly thought "I wonder what it would have been like being in a band like that!"

Daltrey also describes himself as a "hater of the internet". He goes on to further explain. "I never thought any good would come of it, and I still don't think anything good's come of it. I think if we're not careful it's probably the end of our civilization."
