The Who Artist Snapshot:

From the youthful arrogance of their early 1960s recordings to their ambitious rock operas and the more introspective FM rock staples of their mid-1970s albums, the Who raged like a rock & roll inferno. Pete Townshend's guitar fireworks and Keith Moon's larger-than-life drumming combined with the busy basslines of John Entwistle and Roger Daltrey's vocal roar to create one of rock's mightiest noises. The band reconvened numerous times following the hard-living Moon's death in 1978, and even continued to play for several years following the death of Entwistle in 2002.

Review

Rolling Stone (12/11/03, p.118) - Ranked #96 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time" - "...Driven by the hellbent drumming of Keith Moon, the Who surge and shine..."
Rolling Stone (1/22/04, p.74) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Almost thirty-five years later, this classic-rock touchstone still has the power to enthrall..."

Title Note

The Who: Pete Townshend (vocals, guitar, keyboards); John Entwistle (vocals, French horn, bass); Keith Moon (vocals, drums); Roger Daltrey (vocals).

Producers: Kit Lambert, Chris Stamp.

Reissue producer: Jon Astley.

Recorded at IBC Studio, London, England.

Originally released as a 2 LP set on Decca (7205).

The definitive rock opera, TOMMY liberated the Who from a "singles band" stigma, marking them as a substantial artistic force. Composer Pete Townshend had flirted with the conceptual format on two previous releases, but here his vision is spread over two ambitious records that play to the Who's main strengths. Anthems such as the raucous "Pinball Wizard" and the surprisingly serene "I'm Free" emphasize the kinetic power of the band, while Townshend's cast of characters (the perverted Uncle Ernie, the inscrutable Tommy) reveals a wild and unconventional imagination. Townshend even incorporates Sonny Boy Williamson's "Eyesight to the Blind" as part of his fable about the "deaf, dumb, and blind kid," making a successful reference to the past in what is an undeniably groundbreaking and forward-looking achievement.
