Awesome band.

Obviously they dropped off in the early eighties, but killer album after killer album.

My faves are Live at Leeds (on vinyl), Who's Next and Odds &Sods.

Just a shame they're not what they were.


annehelena  said about 4 years ago:

My all-time favourite band. Ever. For all time.

But they already have a thread.


outerspacextrapnel  said about 4 years ago:

Where? I searched, but couldn't find one. Where is it?


annehelena  said about 4 years ago:

Hmmm. They definitely had one before... can't find it now...

Well, this is it, then.

Good work, outerspace.

JohnnyV  said about 4 years ago:

I would like to put it out there, and its generally argued with by non-believers, that Tommy is the greatest Who record. For all its disjointed grandeur, there is just something about it...

I fucking love Tommy.


nicko_mcbrain  said about 4 years ago:

it is evidence of townshend's singular genius, that's for sure.


questionmark  said about 4 years ago:

Was just thinking of The Who today as I picked up April's Uncut with Keith Moon on the cover.

The Who Sell Out is my personal fave.

Kind of a lonely touch to it but I'm glad it wasn't a humorous let's-take-the-piss-out-of-Keith's-death in a nasty way.


Lucydiamond  said about 2 years ago:

About to listen to Two Sides of the Moon. It's awful and woeful and all things in between but I love it.

This tale may have been posted before but this is a good summation of events:
