I love the Who especially their power pop songs like '"I Can't Explain" and the “The Kids are Alright". On the other hand let's not kid ourselves the Who were no way as influential as the Beatles. Examples (The Rolling Stones songwriting), (The Byrd’s and a whole mess of others going electric and Folk Rock) (The Byrd’s and the Who the 12 string electric guitar and last but not least prog acts like the Moody Blues, King Crimson, Pink Floyd and Pink Floyd were more indebted to the Beatles on what they were doing between Rubber Soul to Abbey Road. |

I absolutley love "A Quick One" to death, but everything else is just average for me. It at one point was amazing to me, but it's gotten a bit dry over time. |

"Live At Leeds" is an amazing live album, probably the best I've ever listened to.

....and amazingly recorded too. when i´m listening to Live At Leeds i have some feeling as it was recorded in a very huge space, even at open air, beautiful "ambient"sound, although i know that´s very small space at Leeds University aswell.
----------------
awesome "The Seeker" song (1970)

Sell out, Tommy and Who's next are brilliant albums, but I find Quadrophenia quite boring.

The Who Sell Out, Tommy, Who's Next, Live At Leeds, and Quadrophenia are all essential rock albums, not just essential Who albums. What an impressive catalogue! |

yeah I realize that when people ask me what bands I like, I rarely mention The Who. I probably just take them for granted at this point (much like the Beatles)- This is the stuff that got me into rock. And here I am listening to this crazy RIO/Avant-Garde stuff jeez what a journey.

I don't know about this group...
As much as I like pompous and grandiose things, I'm just not a rock music fan. Although "Eminence Front" is a very cool song. I don't know, maybe it'll be like Led Zeppelin where they have a handful of really awesome songs that I like. |

I love most of their catalogue. I grew up with Who Are You(album), so it's normal for me to enjoy most their synth era, Face Dances and It's Hard are excellent albums. While their early era is brilliant, Who's Next, Quadrophenia and Tommy. While from their early early era, I enjoy quite a lot My Generation and A Quick One.

Have to admit that Quadrophenia really surprised me. Wasn't Tommy's biggest fan (sort of meh on the leads and I felt the plot exposition didn't need to be that basic). However, Quadrophenia was a completely different story. Loved pretty much every second of it, superb leads as well as a much more impressive rhythm section, was really moved by the 'Love, Reign O'er Me' ending. I've actually ended up humming some of the songs.
Glad I gave the band a second chance :) Favourite song, Love Reign O'er Me or Can You See The Real Me? |

That's better ![]() If you enjoyed that much Quadrophenia I highly recomend you to purchase the amazing Live at the Royal Albert Hall |

two great songs at the same attitude but so different. the music structure of Love Reign O´er Me is, IMHO, an hymn in the classic meaning of that word, i mean not "only" one of The Who's athems, as The Real Me really is aswell. i can´t vote. ![]() Edited by zicIy - October 28 2008 at 05:09 |

btw, my fav Daltrey´s album is One of The Boys.
