![]() ![]() ![]() IMHO, in the late 60s, there were better bands than The Who putting out more superior concept albums addressing the state of the world and life in Britain (um, The Kinks, and The Village Green Preservation Society (for starters), anyone?).Īnd over the years, the whole hagiography of the band, and Keith Moon in particular, has seemed a bit overblown to me. To me, their concept albums, like Tommy and Quadrophenia, just seem a bit over the top. I'm happy just listening to my copy of the hits collection Who's Better, Who's Best, and leaving the rest unplayed. But I've never had any interest in delving that deeply into their individual albums, searching for that obscure gem buried on, say, Side Two of The Who Sell Out or The Who By Numbers. True, I like some of their songs, and I enjoyed seeing them play their abbreviated "greatest hits" set at the Super Bowl last year. but frankly, The Who have never done that much for me. I hesitate to mention this, for fear of committing rock blasphemy and losing my credibility with you musicophiles out there. ![]()
