Okay, so I don't really know why I find the need to post on this, but I guess it's because I really do LOVE this band. For those of you without a proper education in music, this is The Who. They're a rock band that started over in London back in the day. The mid 1960's to be precise. They began to get their fame after pirate radio stations played a series of their singles. The Who have sold 17 Top Ten albums and are one of the greatest rock bands in history. Highly original, they also began to bring about the idea of instrument destruction. Yes, it means what it sounds like. Did you think that Jimi Hendrix, as amazing as he is as well, thought of that all on his own? But of course not! Many will say that their best album, and their most famous one at that, is their album Who's Next. However, in my opinion, their greatest success was the album Quadrophenia. Yes, it is a rock opera, but to me, it's so much more. The main character is a schizophrenic with separate, distinct personalities. (Yes, like that show The United States of Tera.) Each of these personalities, as depicted in their music, represents a member of this phenomenal band. It depicts moments of happiness, sadness, and nostalgia all wrapped into one package with a drug-laced bow on top. So if you do anything smart this holiday season, check this band out. You might find that you think they're amazing as I do. =]
