Why do young people not know this guy?



New music = eh?

I found that boomer from the poll thread.

Everybody knows that a young man ain't got nothin'

The Who are one of the best rock groups from the golden era of music!

I don't like much new music at all. I just don't get what people see in it.

 

[DiscoJer]

Because he doesn't use an autotuner? But probably because the Who largely stopped being relevant in the 1980s

He's actually an interesting singer. I wouldn't call him technically proficient. He doesn't have a great range. But there's something to his voice. And he, at least early one, had sort of a sneering or angry quality to it that you would later find in early punk bands, illustrated perhaps best in My Generation and the quoted above Young Man Blues.

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

I've always preferred early Soul/R&B Roger Daltrey.




I've never listened to any of his solo 80's stuff. Is there a standout album from that era that I should listen to?

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

I know about him!

I particularly like the Tommy movie.

 

[*Nightwing]

The who is great and all, but his greatest work was done on television, and he was robbed of the well deserved Emmy for his masterful work as Hugh Fitzcairn

I also love Ray Davies. Will this type of music return in the 2060s? I doubt it, but if I ever have a kid, he or she is gonna experience real music!
