Man I love The Who.......I would give anything to see them live......with Keith Moon on the drum kit. That sloppy playing style was simply awesome......

Keith is my favorite for sure.

As far as picking a favorite member of the Who, my longtime favorite rock band, goes, well ...  the effort has propelled me into a series of unpleasant FACE DANCES. I mean, really... WHO ARE YOU to ask me to rate the members of the WHO BY NUMBERS as if such a difficult question as if it were merely A QUICK ONE? The tension is enough to propel me into a state of QUODROPHENIA--me and many other members of MY GENERATION, I'm sure. No sooner do I pick one name, than the obvious question arises: WHO'S NEXT? Don't get me wrong. It's not as though I want to whip out a TOMMY gun and start firing into crowds, or even string myself up on an ENDLESS WIRE. All I'm really saying is, IT'S HARD.

But in the end--and I hope this doesn't sound like a SELL OUT--I've gotta say John.

I would vote for Roger but I can't because I'm a newbie.

That shouldn't stop you. He is one of the defining voices of rock music, and one of the best live performers I have ever seen.

I'll go with The Ox - probably the most accomplished musician of the four (brass as well as bass, and a versatile multi instrumentalist on his solo albums) and an underrated songwriter.

the group was never the same without Moon The Loon....

prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

The only reason I listen to them is Keith Moon. Baba O'Riley is pretty much as good as it can ever get drumming wise.

I can't even vote I'm so conflicted.  John and Keith was as good a rhythm section as there was, ever. But Pete wrote the really good songs. And Roger sang them okay.  Not voting, though i'd lean towards Pete who other than that guitar player in my band taught me everything I know about guitar. 
Can you tell me where we're headin'?
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon.

Although I agreed that classic The Who wasn't possible without anyone of four, my fav member is John Entwistle.
