  1. I love The Who, I'm really looking forward to see them again next month but I have to say "Be Lucky" is fucking awful, a complete bag of shite.

    I like it. It's upbeat with exuberant guitars and a killer vocal from Daltrey.

  2. The Who were a really good band who wrote some really good songs and could have been the biggest in the world.

    They also went out of there way to limit there audience by looking down on blue collar kids as witnessed by the band's laughter, and smiles as they kicked, destroyed, and smashed there instruments to bits with such disgusting glee in front of kids who most likely had to take the bus to a gig, and the same kids who just wanted to be able to afford a guitar. Because of that, The Who will always be nothing more but a foot note in my music book.

    Destroying instruments with laughter, smiles and glee? I've been a Who fan for over twenty years, seen lots of classic footage of them destroying instruments, but never with laughter, smiles and glee. Always with intensity, sometimes with anger, often as the climax to My Generation. It's rock theater and it's thrilling. They bought those instruments and they can do whatever they like with them. Considering how much they've donated to charity, they can't be accused of selfishness.

  3. I love The Who, ecpecially the early mod and r'n'b stuff.

    Unfortunatly I missed them when they went over here with the Quadrophenia tour in the late 90's, would've loved to seen that.

    The Who's 2012/2013 Quadrophenia tour was even better than that one, even without John Entwistle. I didn't think that could be possible, since Quadrophenia is an Entwistle tour de force.

  4. My favourite band is The Who and most of us know that the last great thing they did was Quadrophenia. Anything after that is almost cringe worthy to say the least.

    They should also have called it quits when Keith Moon died and at least Led Zep had the good grace to call it a day, instead of limping on like The Who did to such embarrassing effect in the 1980s and beyond.

    The Who did lots of great work post-Quadrophenia, including one of their greatest live performances: The Concert for New York City in 2001. That performance alone will always validate them continuing on after Moon.
