I know a lot of people really like The Who, but they sound super generic for a rock band and I just can't get into them.
Andrew Collins
I saw The Who with the old man on their 50th anniversary tour, Daltrey's voice held up better than expected.
Also, they were my favorite band in highschool by far.
Jace Cruz
They invented Power Pop, and that alone makes them fucking brilliant

Entwistle was the bass god, Moon was the most interesting drummer in rock tho not objectively the best, Daltrey had a great voice, and Townsend as a songwriter was right up there with McCartney, Wilson, or Davies.

Sell Out to Quadrophenia was a great streak
Ryan Sanders
Gotta listen to their albums as a whole and not just singles. Quadrophenia and Tommy are great concept albums.
Nolan Long
Everything up to 1978 is GOAT.
They should've just called it a day after Keith passed away.
Nolan King
nice digits
Camden Russell
I agree. The post-Keith material blows. Problem is that The Who were all about being mad and wanting to take on the world. Pete Townshend's increasingly relaxed, mellow songwriting as he approached middle age just didn't "fit" the band's style and image anymore. Face Dances for example is full of material that should have been on a Pete solo album. He tries writing delicate, introverted love songs and Roger can't sing them in a convincing manner. He resorts to his natural "Captain Arena Rock Stud Muffin" mode which doesn't fit. The best songs on the album are John Entwistle's simply because dumb, loud buttrock was his specialty.
As for It's Hard...wrapper for a hit single. Daltrey even said that the rest of the songs were trash that should have never been put on a Who album.
Austin Howard
A lot of people said Kenney Jones was shit and a boring drummer, although in his defense, his minimalist style suited the kind of songs Pete was writing by the early 80s far better than Keith Moon did.
Thomas Lewis
Everything up to 1973 is good. Should have just stopped with Quadrophenia.
Dylan Ross
at least they stopped making albums after It's Hard
Michael Martinez
The Jam were better
Lucas Edwards
Reminds me of Aerosmith and their glut of ballads on the 80s-90s albums. Steven Tyler should have just put that shit on a solo album.
Christopher Price
It's too bad that Roger really peaked as a singer in the late 80s long after they'd stopped being relevant.
Brayden Nelson
They were a live/jam band first and foremost. You want to look at some live concert footage/bootlegs to really appreciate them.
Ryan Morgan
Pioneered arena rock, the concept album, use of synths in rock compositions, punk/grunge, and more. Pete was also one of the best rock lyricists of his era.
Justin Gray
Also in their prime they were absolute demons live.
