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

RECORD NEAR MINT but (please, read above description)
SLEEVE NEAR EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)
An explosive debut, and the hardest mod pop recorded by anyone. At the time of its release,
it also had the most ferociously powerful guitars and drums yet captured on a rock record.
Pete Townshend's exhilarating chord crunches and guitar distortions threaten to leap off the grooves
on "My Generation" and "Out in the Street"; Keith Moon attacks the drums with a lightning,
ruthless finesse throughout. Some "Maximum R&B" influence lingered in the two James Brown covers,
but much of Townshend's original material fused Beatlesque hooks and power chords with anthemic
mod lyrics, with "The Good's Gone," "Much Too Much," "La La La Lies," and especially
"The Kids Are Alright" being highlights. "A Legal Matter" hinted at more ambitious lyrical concerns,
and "The Ox" was instrumental mayhem that pushed the envelope of 1965 amplification
with its guitar feedback and nonstop crashing drum rolls. While the execution was sometimes crude,
and the songwriting not as sophisticated as it would shortly become,
the Who never surpassed the pure energy level of this record....(AllMusic)
