One of my favourite bands! I love them. Quadrophenia and Tommy are my favourite two albums by them. Get Tommy.It's even better than Quadrophenia in my opinion!

I am very fond of The Who ... Quadrophenia is a rock opera classic with some prog elements for sure .... ... but probably more all-out rock than Prog?------------- I was never really sure what I was waiting for. When the moment came I was looking away ...... The Church "After Everything Now This" |

Great Band. My favorite's are "Who's Next", "Quadrophenia", and "Tommy". One of the best hard rock bands I've heard (with some definite progressive influences). My favorite song of theirs is "The Song is Over", and "Behind Blue Eyes". ------------- If you don't stand up You don't stand a chance! |

I think it is remnicient of the emptiness and loneliness of Jimmy from Quadrophenia. -------------

| I like their material from 65-70, mostly lives, radio and tv performances caught their spontaneousness and agression. I have heard their recent live sets are also good, live8 I saw and liked. |

If you ask me, I can't really call them The Who nowadays. To me The Who ended the day Entwistle died (in July 2002). Keith Moon's death effected their image (ironically, Keith's ex-wife married their next drummer, who was in the Small Faces), but they still had a few albums in them. Now it really is Townshend, Daltrey, and Friends performs the songs of the Who. Not saying it is bad, Pete and Roger have become better musicians over the years, but they don't have that aggression that they did in the Tommy days. Live8 was also great for them, as was Live Aid. -------------

| Quadrophenia is a great album, but for me Who's Next is their best. Baba O'Reilly, Bargain, Behind Blue Eyes and Won't Get Fooled Again all on one album. What more can you say? |

I love The Who, Live at Leeds is one of the best live albums ever. ------------- "It's amazing that we've been able to put up with each other for 35 years. Most marriages don't last that long these days." -Chris Squire |

The Who are fantastic
Roger Daltrey - Great, soulful singer Peter Townshend - Amazing guitarist Keith Moon - Mad & hilarious drummer John Entwistle - Quite the uberbassist! Who's Next & Tommy....Masterpieces  ------------- And Jesus said unto John, "come forth and receive eternal life..." Unfortunately, John came fifth and was stuck with a toaster. |

They really rick ... Rock even ... Tommy's my favourite album ... The Seeker, Pictures Of Lily, Pinball Wizard, Sparks and I Can See For Miles are probably my Top 5 songs ... ------------- "Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love!

They are very good and important to rock history. However they don't appeal to me that much. Oh and Zeppelin is better. ------------- I'll see you on the Darkside of the moon... |
