One of my earliest memories of rock music was watching a film of The
Who
perform 'Won't Get Fooled Again' on the documentary/concert film; The Kids Are All
Right . I couldn't have been much old then
11 or 12 years of age when I saw it and even now I get shivers that run
up and down
my spine at the moment where Townsend leaps into the air and then
lands, sliding
toward the camera in slow motion on his knees. At that
instant I thought 'Yes, that's what I want to do for a living!'
It's one of the most defining images in rock as far as I'm concerned.  Edited by sigod - October 31 2008 at 09:38 |

Hi,
(Science Fiction time folks!!!)
I had an interesting moment that will go into my short stories ... and it goes like this ... please note that this is from a dream and is a part of my writings ...
I watched the recent outing a year or two ago that the Who did ... and there was a moment between songs that stood out for me ... in that moment, Roger looked at the microphone, and then looked down to the ground. Back to the microphone and then slightly upwards. He then grabbed the microphone and started singing. The Who was (still) alive.
In the dream sequence I asked him about that pause ... and Roger said "I'm tired. I don't want to do this stuff anymore."
A close friend was, and is, an avid Who fan and can play all of it on his guitar and then some ... and I think Pete Twonsend was his hero. When I showed him the bit he had a wonderful reply ...
(paraphrasing)
The Who, in many ways represented a more violent and repressed feelings that I had ... and they spoke for it beautifully. That expression was brutal to some ... and the music had it and Pete knew it ... and so did Roger and the others. In a way they represented something more free and expressive that we wanted ... and were not able to get ... or perhaps it was no longer meaningful or important any more ... so, seeing Roger saying that he didn't want to do it anymore, was not a surprise ... we grow older and as such our bodies no longer have the ability or the strength to fight as we once did ... and maybe the priorities have changed and it just is not as important any more.
But yes, as my friend said, and I hold it dear to my heart ... they did give us a slice of a time, that is very dear and special to me, and I credit them with helping define it within me ... I mean ... meet the new boss, same as the old boss ... is ever so much more clear today ... you add a little salt, and someone on a power trip ... and you get "The Office" ... and that was the very sh*t that folks like The Who ... were fighting ... and you and I hoped for an improvement ... and all we got was fired ... and today's music no longer has that depth and meaning ... sorry U2 ... the rest is all "popular music" ...

What can I say about the Who? They are totally different from the Beatles The Stones etc. So I don't compare them w/ anyone they are in a class by themselves everything Rock is supposed to be, a touch of anarchy, good to dance to, and above all, fun. MoDs Rool.

I used to love The Who when I was a kid in the 70s - well, I still like them now. Who's Next is a great album and I think Won't Get Fooled Again is probably their best track, although it's been ludicrously overplayed (along with Baba O'Reilly) by Manchester's Rock Radio Station, which plays the same tracks all the time. I also think Behind Blue Eyes and I Can See For Miles are great songs.

I'm stunned.
Firstly because "My Generation" was released in '65.
Secondly even more stunned when I realized that "I can't explain" was recorded just a month after Beatles' '64 October recording of "I feel fine". The Who released it a month before Yardbirds' "For your love".
Music was definitely progressing by the end of '64! And the Who was one of the main contributors.

Inventive, entertaining and sofisticated band. Quadrophenia and Tommy still my favorites, in that order.
However, I still ask myself if they proto-prog or prog-related, since they have clear participation in both subgenres. While albums like Quadrophenia and Who's Next are related to prog, their earlier works are very much influential in the prog movement. I'm inclined to think they're a little bit more prog-related than proto-prog, but who knows, this is a complicated matter for sure... What do you guys think? Very glad to see them here indeed! |

Nobody ever gives that one enough credit, that album is fantastic. As for me and my opinion of The Who, I think this makes my point.  Edited by Cygnus X-2 - May 08 2009 at 11:50 |

The Who are amongst my favorite non-prog bands. They definatly put out some great albums starting with My Generation all the way through The Who by Numbers, and even Who's Next has some good moments. My favorite has to be Quadrophenia, with Who's Next very close behind. Although, I don't like Tommy as much as most people seem to.
