 Topic: The Who are here.....Who?
Posted: July 21 2007 at 15:25 |

yes the Who were approved for addition by our wise admin team and added today. Share your thoughts... and spare us the 70's hard rock band crap. They are in proto prog, not prog related, for their 60's work.... not for the 70's stuff.

Man, that video is so gat dam rockin'! The album version is slightly tamer, but i've come to apreciate it a lot more recently. Still, that performance at the rock&roll cirkus is unbelievable.

Seems fair to me. I'd say "Tommy" is pretty important in relation to prog.

Since Quadrophenia is such a landmark album, I'll back this. But I feel for the inevitable storm coming.

How does it make sense?
Pete townshend cant solo for his life
Daltrey while he is a great singer, he never seems to try and push the limit of his capabilities
Keith Moon, a phenominal and grounbraking drummer, but I seriously doubt he could drum in 6/8 because: A) I'm sure every song is in 4/4, so he has no idea what 6/8 is. B) Too drunk to even play 4/4 half the time
John Entwistle- Amazing Bass player, probably the most capable an with the most potential, no dirt on him 
Listen I love the Who, but they are basically anti prog,
AND YES, I have 3 albums and quite a few compilations! SO DONT TELL ME TO LISTEN TO ANYTHING!

you've made the case that the Who were one of the great rock ensembles, stressing teamwork rather than individual achievement... and I don't see how this negates them from being proto-progressive.

Pantera weren't proto-progressive... they weren't even progressive metal, taking their influences from thrash, traditional metal and other popular forms. I don't see your point.
