    The Who were thoughtful, intelligent, edgy, straight ahead rockers, sometimes 'mods,' and each member was a master of his instrument. For Pete and Roger, their voices were also their instruments. Pete's songwriting often showed a superior intellect. This band was not afraid to push the boundaries of propriety. Just look at the cover of their album, Who's Next. I became a Who fan somewhat later in life, introduced to them by a dear high school friend. Getting to know the progression of the Who's music has been a great journey.

    I am a german WHO-Fan since beginning. In 1965 I wrote from Germany to the Magazin NEW MUSICAL EXPRESS in Durham/GB and asked for a free copy. I got it and found an Advertisment about a Single-Record "I can't explain" by a band named THE WHO. What a funny name I thought. In a Record-Shop in my hometown I asked for this one, but without success. Some weeks later I heard at night by RADIO LUXEMBURG the Record. and THE WHO had won a Fan for ever. Radio Lux. was the only Record Staton with good Rock-Music at this time we could hear here in Germany. AFN too.

      In the 60s, I was always puzzled by this line. I thought it was strange if his girlfriend did the washing better than his mum, as this line implies. Only recently did it occur to me, perhaps the writer of the song was one of the people who confuse "substitute" with "replace". "Replace you with my mum" would make much more sense - although, of course, it would not scan!

      @Knut Rosetten Jaco was technically better but not musically. Jazz solo music sucks, no matter how much of a master the player is. Its meaningless. Bass only sounds meaningful in a supporting role in a song. Same with drums. Jaco isn't well known for good reason.

    • @anthonypuccetti8779
      @anthonypuccetti8779 2 роки тому +1

      @Knut Rosetten He isn't a better player musically because he didn't make better music. Using the bass guitar as a virtuoso solo instrument is in bad taste. That's not proper to bass guitars. He wouldn't have wanted to play in a rock band and he wouldn't have fit in with one. He was a jazz snob. Its much better to be a good player in a great band that plays great songs than a virtuoso who plays experimental music that has no human interest or expressive meaning.

      John was a master. But It was Roger who started the band under a different name as lead guitarist, then later vocalist. John was recruited by him. John brought Pete to Rodgers attention. He was added. It has always been Daltrey's band. But John was so very important to their sound.

      The Who were formed by John Entwistle And Roger Daltrey! They formed the band at school, Roger bumped into John after school and John had a homemade Bass, then they started the band and got Pete in, This was years before Keith moon was even on the scene.

I was never really a Beatles fan, but the Who, that is a whole other story. I saw a commercial when I was about 6 or 7 on TV advertising a the Who album and there was footage of Pete and Keith smashing their instruments up, and they had me hooked!
