THE WHO
PETE TOWNSHEND, ROGER DALTREY, KEITH MOON, JOHN ENTWISTLE
An explosive combo that pioneered progressive and arena rock, each new sound
increasing their influence and legacy.They clashed frequently, but these frictions resulted
in a decade's worth of remarkable music. Though it took a while to find their audience,
by the late '60s the Who rivaled the Rolling Stones as a live act and in album sales

Pete Townshend originally planned The Who Sell Out as a concept album of sorts that would simultaneously mock
and pay tribute to pirate radio stations, complete with fake jingles and commercials linking the tracks.
For reasons that remain somewhat ill defined, the concept wasn't quite driven to completion, breaking down around
the middle of side two. Nonetheless, on strictly musical merits, it's a terrific set of songs that ultimately
stands as one of the group's greatest achievements. "I Can See for Miles" (a Top Ten hit) is the Who at their most thunderous;
tinges of psychedelia add a rush to "Armenia City in the Sky" and "Relax"; "I Can't Reach You" finds T
ownshend beginning to stretch himself into quasi-spiritual territory; and "Tattoo" and the acoustic "Sunrise"
show introspective, vulnerable sides to the singer/songwriter that had previously been hidden.
"Rael" was another mini-opera, with musical motifs that reappeared in Tommy.
The album is as perfect a balance between melodic mod pop and powerful instrumentation...(AllMusic)
