Thats one of my least favorite Who albums. :-/

What do people think about Townshend and Daltry putting out a new Who album next month? I personally have no problem with it, and I'll probably buy it. That said, I've heard a lot of diehards who are crying heresy. Anyone have thoughts?

^What!? That is bull****. That band is NOTHING without Moon and Entwhistle IMO. They are touring this fall and I would love to go, but the tickets are simply too much to see only half the band.

Vocals: Roger Daltrey
Impeccably on key, great quality and range for a rock singer.
Occasionaly sounds overly breathy, and this isn't really him, but the backup singers can get annoying.

Guitar: Pete Townshend
An excellent guitarist who really shines at live shows, but fails to bring anything unique to the table in studio recordings. Undoubtably one of the greatest songwriters of all time.

Keith Moon:
One of the greatest rock drummers of all time, played a very tight, yet loose feeling, style.

John Entwhistle:
Probably the weakest member of the band, occasional songwriting contributions, solid, but certainly not spectacular bass playing.

In short, one of the greatest bands of all time.

>_<

He's the most talented musician in the whole damn band.

I'd also say that Townshend has done a lot of notable guitar work in studio, notably on Quadrophena.
