The Who
Because they should be the first band topic on here.
Discuss the Who.
I love the Who. Don't you?

I do, I do love the Who.
Especially before 1972.

Re: The Who
I'd love them more if they stopped around the same time that the Beatles did. Mod Who hauls ass; Pete striving to be a serious artist not so much.

Re: The Who
Weirdly, Hookworm and I are not in huge agreement about much music, but our taste in the Who is pretty much identical.

Odd that. But, to be fair, I think I dislike more of what you like than you of my preferences.Wolter wrote:Weirdly, Hookworm and I are not in huge agreement about much music, but our taste in the Who is pretty much identical.

I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

Re: The Who
I think Tommy's a little overrated.
I mean, it's good. It has some great tracks indeed, I love Go To The Mirror for example. But I don't see how it got so popular.

Re: The Who
Late 60s, early 70s, rock got it into its collective head that it should be regarded as high brow art. Hence, tons of concept albums and prog rock. Tommy's among the better of that pursuit, but that's not saying a whole lot.Suzanne H. wrote:I think Tommy's a little overrated.

My thoughts on the music of Quadrophenia are somewhat the same. The storyline is genius and the movie is probably the best thing ever....but the music is way too much. They needed a bloody orchestra for that shit! 5:15's a good song though.

Re: The Who
I'm iffier on Quad. A few good songs, but overdone, overwrought. The movie never did much for me either. Tommy onwards, I can only listen to the singles. Squeezebox is damn fun, tho—a dumb dirty joke but fun.Suzanne H. wrote:...that's what I meant to say...Dr. Medulla wrote:Late 60s, early 70s, rock got it into its collective head that it should be regarded as high brow art.

Re: The Who
Yeah, that's probably as far as I'd go. Maybe it'd mean more if I was of that age and time, but I'm not. That it doesn't transcend that barrier, as I imagine Pete always strives for, is its weak spot.eumaas wrote:movie's pretty awful except as a document
