World’s Greatest Rock Band
{Aug 18}
It’s only fitting that we go from the band that defined punk in my eyes to the band that ultimately started punk & another of my favorite bands, The Who!
I really don’t even know what to begin with to describe The Who here. So much has been said while so much has been left unsaid and my words alone will probably never fully explain their legacy, importance, and place in music history. To say The Who is one of the best bands of all time is pretty much like saying Creed is the worst band ever: it goes without saying because everyone already knows it. Just look at how much they have accomplished and their library of songs. Of their main British contemporaries at the time, they definitely outlasted The Beatles in longevity and definitely beat the pants off The Rolling Stones in terms of great hits & great albums (arguable, but very true). Even looking at the sheer talent these men possessed, it’s mind-boogling. Most bands with that much talent in each individual’s hands don’t stay put due to egos or other commitments & opportunties (see Cream, The Jimi Hendrix Expierence, and pretty much any supergroup ever).
