Lithium Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 (edited) I wouldn't call it pop rock, I'd rather call it rock or even hard rock.And, yes, it's a great album, one of The Who's best, but imo, it's beaten by Tommy.

kevdo242 Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 I've listened to it in total about 3 times. Other than the obvious ones, not much really stands out to me to be honest.But the songs I do like are great songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevdo242 Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Don't get me wrong, its not the type of album that I'd listen to some of the lesser known songs and be driven to skipping a few tracks. Maybe I haven't given it a fair listen, and its just been background music for me. I couldn't name a better pop rock album offhand though. I've always loved Baba O'Reilly.

Estranged Reality Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 What's really similar and better though?In scope and style, only Led Zeppelin, the Stones, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Mott the Hoople and a select few others come close to the mix of grandness ("rock opera" as AMG claims) and raw, bluesy rock n' roll. The Who were really unique in that they were probably the first band to truly experiment with straight, raw rock while expanding the sound and putting on live killer shows that rivaled only Morrison and his boys. In later times I'd say The Verve came close to what The Who were doing with their experimentation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
