In the annals of rock 'n' roll history, only a handful of bands are recognized as among the greatest of all time. Everyone knows the short list, and invariably, The Who is on it. Since joining together in 1963, The Who have consistently created engaging and challenging music, much of it defying easy categorization. That the band is together today, thirty years after the release of their landmark 1970 concert album, "Live At Leeds", exciting new and old fans alike, is a testament to their power and endurance. Today, The Who remain as vital as ever, performing together at a series of charity concerts in the U.S. in the fall of 1999, and about to embark on a North American tour in 2000. For long-time Who fans, the music of the band seems to improve over time. Fo More... (Submit New The Who Lyrics) (Submit New The Who Lyrics) Review about The Who What more can really be said | Reviewer: Nyarlathotep ------ About the song Baba O'Riley performed by The Who This is basically me in total agreement with everything said. The Who are truely and honestly rock-GODS, their music will, in the distant futre, still be regarded with and given the same respect as any classical composer that anyone can name. Total respect... *bow* The Best | Reviewer: Dave ------ About the song Baba O'Riley performed by The Who The Who is the Best rock band of all time. I saw them in Detroit last November and the old guys hadn't lost any energy or entertainment value. Pete was jumping and Roger was swinging the mic. Baba O'Riley is one of their many classics. The lead in sets it apart from any other song then or now. Meet the new boss, same as the boss. The Who are great. Little known fact | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Pinball Wizard performed by The Who Did you know that while many people think pinball plays a big role in Tommy, it really doesn't? The only reason The Who even added in the song 'Pinball Wizard' is because one of the main critics for the album was a big fan of pinball. So basically, it's not symbolic of anything, it was just trying to jump their reviews. Ironic, isn't it? Awesome song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Bargain performed by The Who I have loved this song since I first heard it back in 1971, as a skinny 16 year old. I remember I had a great big ole getto blaster, and when this came on WNEW FM, I was in heaven. What a great tune, with powerful lyrics. I still love the song today as much as I did back then!!! Another great song from the same album is "My Wife". stuck | Reviewer: sara ------ About the song Eminence Front performed by The Who The dog is barking at the back door, I forget. I block it out. The lyrics remind us that we forget the important simple things in life. We cover the pain of striving to get ahead and take the most precious things for granted. We forget, until our soul calls out and reminds us that it's a put on. Will it be too late before we realize the truth or do we leave this earth without caring? Oh no not the Kool-aid line again! | Reviewer: Sherri2012 ------ About the song Won't Get Fooled Again performed by The Who Dear God, I thought I escaped that tired old Kool-aid stuff when I skipped over here from Newsvine! It just keeps turning up like a bad penny, ad nauseum.....please all you cons, find something new to say!! To the song: Great lyrics, really classic. Seems like no matter what changes a government goes through (including an actual revolution), a government is still a government is a government is a..... Meet the old boss....same as the new boss. Says it all! god of music | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Baba O'Riley performed by The Who the who is and will remain the epitome of what an unadulterated rock music represents. it had an awsome collection of talent possibly the best there ever was.baba o riley is an orgasmic pete townshend rendering. Genius! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Sunrise performed by The Who Thankfully, I was born/lived in the right decade - lol. so much amazing music in the late 1960's. pete townsend's stellar acoustic guitar and angelic vocals were definitely ahead of his time and showed a humble romantic side, as compared to much of the Who's crunchy rock sound. I was fortunate to see them live around 1967, when they were the OPENING ACT for Herman's Hermits and the BLues Magoos. Stole the show, to say the least. The Who Sell Out, from which this song is on, remains one of my all time favorite albums, very inventine and creative for the day. Who's Jack ? | Reviewer: irish jack ------ About the song Long Live Rock performed by The Who Some years ago I begged my wife to accompany me to a local cinema to see 'That'll Be The Day'. She complained that she wasn't particularly a David Essex fan. When I insisted and further begged her to come she wanted to know what was so special about the film. The game was up..I said, 'What is so special about the film? My dear girl, Billy Fury, thee Billy Fury is going to be singing a song called 'Long Live Rock' and you're married to the man whose mentioned in it ! Now, are you getting your coat on or not? Love to all Irish Jack Wow... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Eminence Front performed by The Who I can't believe the comments. This song is horrible. You are all delusional, and cannot let go of the fact that at this point, the Who hadn't been good for years. And who can forget the wonderful voice of Townshend, who sounds like a cat that has been stepped on in just the very first line of this song. It's like Stones fans who think that Waiting For a Friend is some sort of classic. it simple | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Won't Get Fooled Again performed by The Who This song was about the radical political youth of the 60's. They were simply and often perjoratively called "rads". They were always trying to stir up shit with protests. Rock musicaians while they may have had political beleifs were not into radical activism. For the very reason mentioned in the song it always ends bad. All the Obama Kool aid drinkers should take note. ....and conservatives? | Reviewer: Plouis ------ About the song Won't Get Fooled Again performed by The Who "This song is about what happens in all "revolutions." It's about idiots who think utopia is somehow an option. Then they get duped by power-hungry fascists like Stalin and Castro. BUT A STALIN COULDN'T EXIST WITHOUT A LENIN, AND A CASTRO COULD NOT EXIST WITHOUT A CHEZ GUERRA TO PAVE THE WAY. You're already fooled again." And just the same, those on the right were equally fooled, but they seem to enjoy it, even though it was the late, great Ronald Reagan who paved the way for that buffoon GWB. A Personal Favourite | Reviewer: G.B. ------ About the song Tattoo performed by The Who i used to love this song when it first came out...it was just before Tommy blew us all away and I loved the way that some bands would tell little stories with their songs. The Who were always good at this and Tattoo was a great track on a classic album that also gave us "I can see for miles" among others. I was prompted to look up the lyrics as I watch a DVD of the Who made from a film recorded in 1969 featuring many fantastic songs of this era. And my girlfriend has way more tattoos than me...do I blame The Who?...lol Laurie comments | Reviewer: so what did I expect? ------ About the song My Wife performed by The Who Getting Laurie's p.o.v. is priceless. If you hook up with an awesome babe she is gonna get possessive and if a guy, like Laurie's boy friend, figured out how to make her laugh and get to have some Massive, Wild, Sweet,Sex, I'd say that makes John E. and those two all equal in the Genius department. And buddha man, I agree these are some of the finest lyrics. Sorry this in not original but I love the simple genius of the truth of this "drinking song." Something Above | Reviewer: Bob ------ About the song Real Good Looking Boy performed by The Who what a powerful, beautifully arranged work of musical art. Classically The Who from the first ringing guitar chord after the intro so typical of Pete, to the fast tempo change at 3:23. As Roger is singing "I can't help falling in love with you" I can almost hear the ghost of Roy Orbison in his voice. Inspiring and uplifting and an instant classic. The Who have given us something above! The nitro-glycerine infused rock band | Reviewer: Luke Fancy ------ About the song Heaven and Hell performed by The Who The song itself is like an explosive and destructive force between the two worlds and The Who is right in the center of it! I mean Jesus ****ing Christ, do you hear the bass on that thing!? Holy christ, now that is the bassline from hell! To Mr. John Entwistle, you better be playing that with Keith up in Heaven! dont be fooled for long. go your way or with the flow | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Won't Get Fooled Again performed by The Who i think that 'wont get fooled again' means that you shouldn't bother with any revolution again. if the place doesn't fit you, take you staff and your family and move someplace else. the system is so strong that it has always been like this. the strong ruling the weak by any means of power, especially corruption and deceiving. for the strong, corruption and chaos is good for the economy and advancement. it has always been like this for ever. there is not enough room on the top of the pyramid. it's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll,acdc. So if you are smart enough you will go with the flow and follow the system or else you will be crashed like a roach. you see, only the good die young and only evil seems to live for ever. this goes in all aspects of life, especially in the city. if you are good you get fucked. I LOVE the above review | Reviewer: abaranowski ------ About the song Magic Bus performed by The Who Reading cjmillar's review just makes me damn happy. I was 13 the first time I heard The Who's MY GENERATION--1966ish?. It STILL does it to me, all their music has historical significance to me--background to my life. So, the fact that a young "boarder" gets it the way I do just makes me happy for some reason. BTW: I just started skiing at age 52--I feel in love with it. IN LOVE!! I think I will call the radio station I am listening to and request Magic Bus. Cheers! We've been fooled again...many times since 1971 | Reviewer: Zac ------ About the song Won't Get Fooled Again performed by The Who I'm 17 years old, in the midst of my second semester of college. I've been to 11 countries (US, Canada, China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Japan, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar), and speak Chinese fluently. Culture shock was an experience, but reverse culture shock is unbelievable. It showed me how screwed up this nation (US) really is. Last semester I took sociology 101, shortly after completion I read Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World," I would recommend that book to anybody. I'm sorry folks, but there is a good chance that there never be a day when everybody is happy, as Bernard in "Brave new world" It is important to note that the mass majority of people are content living in their blissful, ingorant, apathetic lives; their happiness driven by television: the new opiate of the masses. The Who says "the change it had to come, we knew it all the long," and while this may be true, what change is there that will satisfry everybody? Who are we to say what change is right? I think the best idea for change would be the zeitgeist movement, check it out on google video. Seldom does a new political system not become corrupt swiftly. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss." Our founding fathers had the best of intentions for our country. It didn't take long for our leaders to be as corrupt as British colonialists. We do need another revolution, Thomas Jefferson suggested a revolution every generation. Freedom has been woeing for god only knows how long. Our Eagle has been crying. George Carlin made the reasonable proposition that the emblem of the US of A should be changed to a giant bowl of Mac n Cheese, as obesity seems more a part of this country than does freedom. But people are happy. And if the world were changed to suit the desires of us intellectuals who give a sh*t about the state of politics and freedom, there is a good chance that the majority of our nation would quickly become unhappy. Besides, Nietzche (sp.?) says "what doesn't kill you will make you stronger," as we are all becoming stronger, smarter intellectuals almost purely due to our discontent. The Who were prophets. I hope to play "Won't get fooled again" at Pai Music Festival in Thailand, where I will be going in 3 weeks. Pai Music Festival is somewhat of a Neo-Woodstock, a good place to meet good people and listen to (and play) good music. Pai, Maehongson, Thailand is a place for all those who can't stand the state of the planet. While the gov't of Thailand is extremely corrupt, it doesn't affect Pai very much. To everybody that is near suicidal with the state of our world, Pai is for you. Excellent, a masterpiece | Reviewer: JRod ------ About the song Love Reign O'er Me performed by The Who This has got to be one of the best songs ever written. I heard this up at the Celebration of Lights fireworks show in Vancouver, down at the harbour...it was incredible listening to this combined with the red fireworks.
