The Who
i love the who.
they were my first band and remain my favourite. i got into the Who and Frank Zappa at the same time and they are both my favourite artists/bands. i dont have a favourite album because they are all so good, heres what i think of some of their albums.: My Generation: Epitomises the early who. Moons drumming on this is amazing as is the scope of Daltreys singing from La La La Lies to Out in the Street and the B-side Bald Headed Woman. This was the first ever punk album. Sell Out: a true masterpeice. sooo under-rated its not funny. Why half the songs on this album werent number one hits I dont know. Great songs, all which have meaning and tell stories and most of the bonus tracks on the CD should have been released on a different album cause they are genius Tommy: Beautiful. The scope of Townshends songwriting is amazing. from soft pop, to orchestral like inspirational music to hard rock. This album has got it all. Who's Next: Perfection. When i wake up and im tired, i listen to this and it wakes me up and opens my mind. So many great songs, Baba, Bargain, Love aint for keeping, My Wife, The Song is over Going Mobile, Getting In Tune, Behind Blue Eyes, Wont Get Fooled Again thats practically the whole album but it is so good. also Naked Eye and Water are great Quadrophenia: This album is great. Probably my favourite rock opera, i really connected with this. this is one of the few albums that really has a place in my heart. it is a brilliant album. The Who By Numbers: This album is often dismissed as being a suicide note and rubbish and all thatt but really its quite good. It has real poetry in it and really makes you think. so, anybody else like the Who? |
whos next has always been my favorite, followed by tommy.
|
BoooRis the Spider!
|
love.

A list of Who albums without mentioning Live At Leeds

i can see for miles is great.
the harmonies in it are really complicated |
Maybe the best rock band of all time. I'm glad to see a thread here about them. I had to make one in another forum I go to. Imagine that.

yeah - i dont know how it could have been a flop, its so damn good!
i love the who sell out, on which i can see for miles appears - at that time, townshend was writing some great songs e.g. " 'miles" and "mary anne with the shaky hand" and "our love was" etc. and so was entwistle with "silas stingy"and "someones coming" musically, the who sell out is very linked to tommy, the middle chord progression in "Rael" became the basis of "its a boy", "sparks", "underture" and appears in many other songs on tommy. |
Hmmm, I think they're pretty over rated in my opinion. I mean don't get me wrong, they're great and I love them. But people that I call "posers" say they like The Who, just so they can fit in with other kids in my school. It's just another one of those radio hit bands to me. But I do like Pinball Wizard(with Elton John) and Teenage Wasteland.
|
i recently got the Live At The Isle Of Wight dvd and it was awesome.
|
the song called Teenage Wasteland is actually called Baba O'riley after Pete's avater, Meher Baba and American minimalist composer, Terry Riley - still its a great song.
the Who songs you hear on the radio are just the hits, to really appreciate the Who, you have to listen carefully to some of their albums, particularly Tommy, Who's Next and Quadrophenia |
i started listening to the who a couple months ago bc i found my dad's my generation cd. My favorite songs are pinball wizard, join together, i can see for miles, i can't explain, and baba o'riley of course.
|
there all great!
|
You cannot gain a full understanding of a band based solely on radio hits. especially a band like the who.
|
absolutely
|
When? What?
The Who? Who are you talking about?
Ain't like Zeppelin! |
The quad album is my fav , it has to be their best ever album for me
|
Please, not another Who fans vs Zep fans inccident, can't we all just get along?
|
i agree with boo boo, cant we all get along, both of the bands are great, my favorite song from The Who is Pinball Wizard, one of my fav. of all time at that
|
Love Ain't For Keeping is lovely.
|
The Who is a pretty cool band. I'm not into them as much as The Rolling Stones. But I definitely like them. I think one song that got me into them was "Who Are You." I heard this song on the radio many times, but I didn't know that The Who did it for quite sometime. When my parents told me they did this song, I grew to like them more. What do you guys think of this song?
The Who - Who Are You napster . com / player / tracks / 10047306 |
I adore it.
|
Tommy is a masterpiece.
The movie was great as well, I thought they presented it well. |
The Who Sell Out >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Tommy , Who`s Next , Quadrophenia
|
Who's Next > Tommy > Who Sell Out > Quadrophena. :)
|
The Who By Numbers > All
|
Thats one of my least favorite Who albums. :-/
|
What do people think about Townshend and Daltry putting out a new Who album next month? I personally have no problem with it, and I'll probably buy it. That said, I've heard a lot of diehards who are crying heresy. Anyone have thoughts?
|
^What!? That is bull****. That band is NOTHING without Moon and Entwhistle IMO. They are touring this fall and I would love to go, but the tickets are simply too much to see only half the band.

The Official Who Thread
:band:
Vocals: Roger Daltrey Impeccably on key, great quality and range for a rock singer. Occasionaly sounds overly breathy, and this isn't really him, but the backup singers can get annoying. Guitar: Pete Townshend An excellent guitarist who really shines at live shows, but fails to bring anything unique to the table in studio recordings. Undoubtably one of the greatest songwriters of all time. Keith Moon: One of the greatest rock drummers of all time, played a very tight, yet loose feeling, style. John Entwhistle: Probably the weakest member of the band, occasional songwriting contributions, solid, but certainly not spectacular bass playing. In short, one of the greatest bands of all time. |
Oh yah, my favorites are Quadrophenia>Who's Next>Tommy.
|
Fav 3 tracks are
Won't Get Fooled Again You'd Better, You Bet My Generation |

He's the most talented musician in the whole damn band. I'd also say that Townshend has done a lot of notable guitar work in studio, notably on Quadrophena. |
