Childhood is idolizing Townshend

Childhood is idolizing Townshend.
Early adulthood is recognizing Moon's superiority.
Maturity is realizing Entwistle's supremacy over all.

Childhood is idolizing Moon
Adulthood is not listening to The Who

Apparently Daltrey was a scrappy motherfucker. Getting into fistfights during the band's peak years, throwing guitars at bandmates, etc.

Townsend is idolizing childhood

growing up is realizing the who suck ass and styx are better

>Childhood is being diddled by Townshend.

fixed

um, no.

But to change bands...
Childhood is thinking John was the key. Adulthood is realising it was Paul all along.

>Childhood loving Tommy
>Adolescence is loving Quadrephenia
>Adulthood is loving Who's next

>Transcendence is loving Sell Out

True ascendancy is recognizing Daltery is best.

It's strange you should post this now.

A couple of days ago, I began playing their entire catalog, chronologically, in my car. What's really neat about them is what's really neat about most of the artists with staying power from the 60s: They had a sound all their own. If you wanted a Who-like band, your only choice was to get the actual guys. A really good combination of energy (Moon), intellect (Townshend), I-don't-give-a-fuck (Daltrey), and who-the-fuck-is-that-strange-man-playing-bass? (Entwistle). They somehow made it all work. And for all his absolute madness, Keith Moon is the only drummer from the 60s who played the drums as a lead instrument rather than as a supporting foundation. He went at it as though each actual drum piece represented a "note" (which, in fact, they kind of do, but no one before him ever figured it out).

Who's Next is perhaps the finest album of the 1970s. And to think it's a hurriedly thrown together collection from the ashes of the doomed Lifehouse project.

This in particular really cannot be overstated. Keith Moon earned his place among the greatest rock drummers of all time not by being le epic wacky flailing drummer man but by _looking like_ le epic wacky flailing drummer man while actually knowing exactly what he is doing the entire time. Does he ever flub those fills or come back in in the wrong speed? No, that's more Mitch Mitchell or Ginger Baker.
The thing is that he plays the drums, as you said, as a lead instrument. (In fact, everything was a lead instrument in the Who.) His parts are closer to the vocals than anything else, so the untrained ear would lead one to believe that he's just flailing about randomly, but nope. He's keeping the beat the entire time. Listen to I Can See For Miles again with this knowledge and be astounded.

childhood is having townshend idolize you

Adulthood is realizing The Who were trash all along and The Kinks are the greatest British band of all time.

Their last truly great record desu

no that's edgy teenagehood.

First rock concept album as well! (Sgt. Pepper isn't a concept album. Neither is Pet Sounds.)
It never got better than that.

Face to Face came before The Who Sell Out
