I think this band is rarely mentioned on ST. Spawn, David, everyone. What about the Who? -- (edited)

Posted by loosilu (aka loosilu2) Apr 26 '20, 15:50

Full disclosure. During quarantine, I got triggered into revisiting the Who, and I've been binging on WHO. It has been a surprise how much I like it. I hadn't thought about them in years.

Responses:

Still listen to Live At Leeds, Who's Next and Quadrophenia regularly. It's all good. -- nm - zunkskunk Apr 26, 16:16 2
- For my money Live at Leeds is the best live album in the history of recorded music. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 16:17 1
  - My favorite is a little gem titled "Performance-Rockin' The Fillmore. - zunkskunk Apr 26, 16:26
I think y’all are some old folks. -- nm - Qale Apr 26, 16:12 5
- are you new here? -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 16:13 4
  - It’s just fun to poke the olds. Especially since there are a few like Jax and JD that are musically young. -- nm - Qale Apr 26, 16:15 3
    - You can be both. I think I am. I like new stuff and old stuff. -- nm - pmb Apr 26, 16:29 1
      - Of course. Though it is probably more likely not to really stay up with the newfangled music the kids like today. -- nm - Qale Apr 26, 16:30
    - oh good point! -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 16:16
This guy is a god. -- (pic) - Spawn Apr 26, 16:10 [Attachment] 12
- He's a huge asshole, and also a musical genius, and still alive -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 16:11 11
  - Yes, he is. All of those things. -- (edited) - Spawn Apr 26, 16:12 10
    - arrogant prick, probly one of the reasons I'm less a fan. They're my brother's fave band, though. -- nm - mud Apr 26, 16:13 3
      - Ridiculously arrogant prick. and IMO justified. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 16:14 2
        
        I'm sure Remlik has mentioned to you we have seen them rehearse a couple times. That was *very* cool. -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 16:22 1
        
        yes indeed, what songs did they play? -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 16:24
    - favorite album, song? -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 16:13 5
      - Tie. Won't Get Fooled Again, Can't Explain and Love Reign O'er Me. Quadrophenia. -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 16:19 4
        
        cannot dispute any of them. I actually think Can't Explain was Keith's favorite song. Every time they started it he was like OMG THIS IS MY FAVORITE - loosilu Apr 26, 16:22 3
        
        I say those, and really BO'R, too because every time I see them I think during each of them, "No, this is my favorite." I am a huge Eminence Front fan - Spawn Apr 26, 16:25 1
        
        BOR is genius, and it's one of the songs that makes the crowd scream in the first notes. Also Pinball Wizard -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 16:35
        
        Can't Explain at Isle of Wight, 1970, it was 2 am, second song. -- (link) - loosilu Apr 26, 16:25 [youtube]

- I missed it!!! so we could discuss which WHO songs are the best of all time. I lean toward Won't Get Fooled Again -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 16:10
Top 3 all time for me. And I think underappreciated. -- nm - pmb Apr 26, 15:57 5
- I 1000% agree underappreciated. Best live rock band of all time. And I think Townshend is the best SINGLE rock songwriter. - loosilu Apr 26, 15:59 4
  - They are brilliant and he is an amazing songwriter. I always sort of credit with them creating the "angst" in rock music. - pmb Apr 26, 16:05 3
    - I 1000% percent agree it's the seeds of punk. "I Can See For Miles" is from 1966. It's astonishing. - loosilu Apr 26, 16:08 2
      - If you haven't read his autobiography, I highly recommend it. -- nm - pmb Apr 26, 16:10 1
        
        Sure did! also, my book rec, "Full Moon" written by Keith Moon's long suffering personal assistant/roadie/driver/babysitter. HYSTERICALLY funny -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 16:12
One of the best ever. -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 26, 15:55 1
- uh oh, now that you said that, it's certain what David thinks -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 15:55
Quadrophenia (1973) was their last album -- nm - mud Apr 26, 15:53 10
- No, *you're* an eminence front! -- nm - Reagen Apr 26, 16:03
- I love Who Are You (1977): Trick Of The Light, Sister Disco, 905, the title song, etc -- nm - crash davis Apr 26, 15:57 8
  - I love Who Are You. Famous for the album cover with Moon sitting on a chair on which it was written "NOT TO BE TAKEN AWAY" and he died 3 weeks later. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 16:00
  - Quadrophenia (1973) was their last album -- nm - mud Apr 26, 15:53 -- nm - mud Apr 26, 15:58 6
    - For my money, Quadrophenia is the most underappreciated album of the rock era. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 16:03 2
      - not at the time. They made a movie! It was one of the best movies of the 70s -- nm - mud Apr 26, 16:04 1
        
        It's now considered a cult movie. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 16:05
    - spoken like a good prog rock fan -- nm - crash davis Apr 26, 16:02 2
      - out of my brain..on the train -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 26, 16:17 1
        
        Seats are seductive, celibate sitting - loosilu Apr 26, 16:18
Absolutely brilliant, so David probably hates whats left of them -- nm - crash davis Apr 26, 15:51 3
- Favorite album? For me Quadrophenia. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 15:52 2
  - Who's Next -- nm - crash davis Apr 26, 15:53 1
    - Absolute genius, and you would easily convince me it's the best. Genius. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 15:55
