I guess of those songs I would choose The Kids are Alright. But of all of their songs I would say Call Me Lighting, Legal Matter, Baba O'riley, Whiskey man, or pretty much the entire Tommy album... Fuck I love The WHO!
sparks is awesome too...pretty much anything from tommy. don't forget (although very mainstream) we won't get fooled again....any keith moon solo is the shit also
The Kids are Alright from that list.. But overall, See Me Feel Me, Wont get fooled again, and Teenage Wasteland Roger Daltrey thrills me beyond reason..
You know, I actually keep thinking that monkees song "I'm a believer" was written by the who. I always keep getting it mixed up with my generation. And that little thing where he hammers on with the guitar and goes from the 3rd to the 5th fret.... E---1--1--0--0--------1--1--0--0------------------------------ B---3--3--1--1--3-----3--3--1--1--3--------------------------- G---0--0--0--0--4-----0--0--0--0--4--------------------------- D---------------5-----------------5-------3-------3-------3--- A------------------------------------3h5-----3h5-----3h5------ E------------------------------------------------------------- Like so... That reminds me of David Crosby's Dark Star for some reason.
Ive never heard any other Who song other than "Pinball wizard" But "Tommy" is a great musical, good music, strange story, overall i guess i like the who...or maybe just the movie i dont know
'My Generation', purely based on the fact of the destruction that took place both at "The Smothers Brothers Show" and The Monterey Festival, while performing 'My Generation'.
Listening to "Won't Get Fooled Again" = Aural catharsis YYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH Meet the new boss Same as th' old boss!! ROCK OUT *slammin' on air guitar* (we need like a "Musical grimace" smilie)
ahhhhhh i love the who.... I love Roger & Pete & Keith & John they're all just so badass! WOO HOO FOR THE WHO!!! YAY! hahaha this one time "My Generation" came on the radio and after it was done I turned off the radio and looked around the basement i was in and realized I'd destroyed the entire place, smashed my laundry basket, boxes knocked over.... hahaha im such a loser! It took forever to clean up but it was soooo worth it!! mmmmm... although it's obvious I nomite "Won't Get Fooled Agian" simply for this... "YYEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" - hahaha that is the single greatest yell in rock&roll. It's a shame Roger Daltrey can't dance.... he's funny though. they always make me smile. oh but really i cant pick. The Who just rock. Such a beautiful sound... ahhhhhhhhhh . THE WHO ARE HIP !
TortheViking: The guru's name was Meher Baba. The instrument on Baba O'Riley was not a synthesizer. It was a Lowrey Berkshire Deluxe TB0-1 Organ on a setting called Marimba Repeat.
i thought it was pete lashing out about wasted teenagers..... ok fine i dont know a lot but i know the who rocks. and thats that.
I'm a boy I'm a boy But my mama won't admit it... ahhhhhh I heard "Won't Get Fooled Again" on the radio... I am now happy. Roger Daltrey is the best. No.. Pete Townshend is the best. No Keith Moon is the best! No, wait, John Entwistle is the best! AHHHHH!!! That's what I love about them... I can't pick a favorite! They all rock. Question (to the music nerds ) --- why does Roger st-st-studder in "My G-G-G-Generation" ??? god that freaks me out to no end i dont know why but it scares me. who could pick a favorite? who who? who, who? seriously I love too many of their songs.... I need to go to the "Who Anonymous" clinic down the road. I'm in need of support from other recovering addicts..... WHO am i kidding! THERE IS NO CURE!! AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! i love talking in nonsense. rock on hip people.
