[Review] The Who: A Quick One (1966)
The band’s second album is light on great material but heavy in everything else.
The band’s second album is light on great material but heavy in everything else.
Pete Townshend writes a song for his wife-to-be that makes “Suspicion” sound like a love letter.
The band’s brilliant third record has some real gems sandwiched between radio commercials.
Arguably the highlight of Tommy, it’s the song that spawned a thousand pinball machines.
The first real rock opera and the gold standard for every great concept album that came after, from Lamb Lies Down to The Wall.
One of the greatest, loudest live albums of its era, not to mention one of the most creatively packaged.
The last single from Tommy, although I have the strange feeling we’ll meet again.
The unofficial theme song for every presidential election since 1972.
Pete’s failed attempt at a second concept album takes on a life of its own as one of the decade’s greatest rock albums.
What began as Jumbo’s lament now becomes the anthem of every blue-eyed sociopath.
This greatest hits collection is a great overview of The Who’s biggest hits so far, many unavailable on album until now.
If you weren’t already a member of Tommy’s army, here was your invitation to join the band.
A symphonic interpretation of Tommy featuring guest vocalists that include Roger Daltrey, Rod Stewart and Ringo Starr.
A concept album about a struggling musician, written by two of them, and sung by one of rock’s biggest stars.
If you thought Tommy was an emotional train wreck, you hadn’t heard anything yet.
