How sad that you have recognized no meaningful contributions in the last 48 years. Rock and Roll didn't stop. You did.
Queen, Boston, Rush, Bruce, U2 - the 80s, Aerosmith, VanHalen, Stevie Ray, Nirvana, dare i say Coldplay, or KidRock, or The Pixies come on the last 48 have been great to say an entire genre was worthless after 15 years come on get a grip
And this is the problem with rock and roll, it was mastered by 1973. The Beatles, Hendrix, Zeppelin, Dark Side of the Moon, the stones, and THIS!
From '74 on, it has all pretty much been poor imitation.
WRONG!!! I was born in 1955 & grew up with pre '74 music! A LOT of GREAT, innovative music has happened since then, and still is! Go back to sleep!

Ok boomer.

Saw the event in Pittsburgh recently; very excellent even with aging voices. Young Starkey was really good on drums.
Had to go; first date w/ my wife (still) was Tommy in 1969. Boston University homecoming.
My first Who show was at a local school dance in the mid/late 1960s. Another first there was Pink Floyd.

Of course, the first real concert I took him to was Springsteen. First for my younger was McCartney.
(My first was Elvis P. Still have the ticket stub)
This.
How's that for a really (un)useful piece of information?

So, in 1969 the Boston University Homecoming act was the WHO?!? Too cool.
Thanks Bill!

They live in Essex don't they?
ONLY LOVE...!
—they said it, sang it, played it, bashed the hell out of it so well — ETERNAL!
That's an interesting assessment, though The Who was around before either of those bands were.
Well the first incarnations of each started around the same time in the 60s but what I really wonder is what this person is hearing that bring name Fleetwood Mac, in any incarnation, to mind?

Me... I'm loving this.
Bill didn't play them together this time. I have to go dig my album out to listen to rest. That is so mean to lift the needle so soon.
Roger Daltry: vocals
Keith Moon: drums
John Entwhistle: bass
Peter Townsend: remainder
On my way to get to work, my radio played "Love, reign o' me": this song resembles that song.
Great song, however!
There is something nostalgic in listening to it

Keith Moon would put all of those guys to shame.
For those people that don't like it, or even hate it, nothing I write will have a chance to change that.
I will just say that I think Pete and The Who captured the unspoken feelings of every confused, sensitive, emotional teenage boy better than anyone ever has with this album. And I thank them for it.

Great music to write by...
Had to smile. In grad school, I wrote a play set in a beach house, so I put on this album when I first started working on it. Every morning, well ... most mornings, I'd put on Quadrophenia and write. And the experience makes me love the album even more — could easily have gone the other way!
It is an outstanding film if you lived through the era and really captures the feel of the times.
Interesting times indeed, I owned a duffle coat and rode a Lambretta 150, but had changed to leathers and a 500cc Triumph before I went to Brighton. Didn't know WTF I was supposed to do.
I just finished loading Quadrophenia on my new android, and turned on RP during this set. interesting

I'd stop listening altogether, and turn off my monthly donation.
Harsh!
If RP played three Porcupine Tree songs in a row, then followed it up with three great Who songs, and did so on a regular basis, I'd increase my monthly donation.

Sorry, Cynaera, I've got to disagree with you on this one. Three on the trot from any band may be nirvana for lovers of that band, but a literal turn-off for other listeners. If RP plays such extended sets there's a danger that listeners will turn off and tune in elsewhere. If RP were to play three Porcupine Tree numbers consecutively, that would be as bad an error as playing 3 Who numbers.
Anyway, the second Who effort has come on so it's mute on and away off to iTunes for the next ten minutes.

Well, from my viewpoint, I am not exactly a huge Who fan, but I grew up with them and they have been a minor influence in my music life.
RP is an eclectic place and where better then to have a run of three tracks that work together so well? There are plenty of tracks that get played here that I disagree with (some I comment on, some not) and on occasion there are three tracks that will make me mute or switch away. But that surely is part of the reason we are here. . . the diversity.
I admire the brave step of three in a row and as long as there is justification for it (and I think this trio from the Who is justified) then let it be so.
So. See you in 10 and all will be well again.
Sorry Fred - I just don't get how you don't get it.
You and the Who. Keller and Radiohead. EssexTex and Bowie.
How do you hate 3 of the top 10 most respected and beloved (by other musician, critics and fans alike) artists of all time.

Go ahead and mute Fred. It's your choice (or loss). The WHO are one of the most important bands in rock history. They're great, wonderful, imaginative and and perfect to listen to right now. They deserve a 3 song set anytime Bill wants to play one.
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Who are you? (Oh, and did you notice that I used another Who song title?) Do you not understand that three songs in a row from ANY artist is like the Holy Grail here? What is one of your favorite bands?
