The Who

Hi! My Dear Classmates 

Now, I tell you about my favourite band. It’s very difficult for me, because (since I am a Lover of the music xD) I have 3 favourite bands! In this opportunity I talk you about The Who.
The Who is a British rock band of the sixties, the original band members are Roger Daltrey (singer), Pete Townshend (guitarist), John Entwistle (bass player), and Keith Moon (drummer, he is in my photo in the upper part of my Blog). In their beginning, they play rock music and ballad, their style is very similar to the style of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones; much linked to the style mod. But in the 70’ their music was add opera and philosophical styles, created magnificent works like the opera albums Tommy and Quadrophenia. Pete, John and Keith are in a list of the best musicians of all time (The Rolling Stone Magazine Ranking). Regrettably, Keith and John died to long time ago :’(, the world loosed two great persons. Actually, Roger and Pete continue playing and staying in tour, with Zack Starkey in the drums (Ringo Starr son). Well, my song favourite song is “See me, Feel me/Listening to you” of the album Tommy (It’s my favourite album, too.  Additionally it’s a single) because express the feeling of a community, the thing I want to be. Tommy in 1975 became a film by the director Ken Russell, in the movie work the band members, and others pop stars like Tina Turner, Eric Clapton, Elton John, and others. And, in an interview to Pete (the principal composer of the band), he said that “Listening to you” is like a prayer. The album Tommy is very linked with the religion and the search of the identity (Quadrophenia is linked with the identity, too. In this case the principal character is Jim). The Who wasn’t only a simple rock band, they imposed new sensation of the rock, fantastic performances in alive, and their characteristic destructive form for play.
