I've been a fan of The 'Oo for years... Live at Leeds and Who's Next are probably my faves.

Sometimes I used to listen to 'Getting In Tune' on repeat, over and over!

The frustrating thing about these forums is that this site's subheading reads Your Ultimate Prog ROCK Resource and yet so many posts make progressive MUSIC arguements for inclusion. Yeah, The Who made some great progressive rock. They belong here. Somewhere.



They *are* here.

A great version of The Real Me (with Quadrophenia opening track) and very good footage from 1973:

It's not one of my favorite bands but I like them

They have some great albums, Who's Next (the best one), Tommy and Quadrophenia.
I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place

One of my favourite bands growing up. The first (or maybe second) album I ever owned was The Who By Numbers

The Who were a great group, but not a lot to do with Prog.

One of my favourite bands.

And one of the best live performers as well, especially in the 1968 - 1977 era. They could outplay the Beatles and the Stones with their eyes closed.

It's charming how Roger Daltrey talks about Keith Moon's drumming.
 
I think that Keith Moon was more close to those ancient jazzy dummers, as Gene Krupa, than to his great contemporaries!
