He was in that band...Who?
Yeh!

I'm not a Who fan. I lost respect for them when they did the whole Pinball wizard thing.
not sure why. except to say that whole "Tommy" / Pinball wizard thing was distasteful to me. Childish at best.

I do like some of Townshend's stuff, Mentioning the Who puts a Bad spin on things for Me.

I can always listen to Eminence Front though .
It reminds me of dating in the 80's. and going to bars that had
live bands. if they knew Eminence Front , they always got the crowd up.

The Who kicked. They were so diverse musically and made everything work. Tommy was an experiment---a "Rock Opera" . They influenced Queen and so many others. Legends...

Townshend, Entwistle, Moon, Dalton. Whew ... what's not to like there? It's understandable that you didn't care for Tommy - not all of the band's new ideas caught on with everyone - but, hey, all notable musicians' work is checkered with high and lower points with their fans.
