Something I realized early on was that Entwistle and Moon (and let me qualify this...I've been a Who fan since I first heard them when I was 10...and I'm 52 now) had *so much* going on as the rhythm section that it let Pete and Roger *appear* to be doing so much more than they really were as the front guys, it was uncanny.
The Who always got more sound as an essentially three piece band than any other group before or since. The reason was the incredible complexity/subtlety/brilliance of Entwistle and Moon...not that Pete and Roger weren't awesome, because they were.
