Who Are You?

Basically all that I knew about The Who before this week was that I really liked them. Learning that they were some pretty crazy rockers kinda made me like them more. They were an incredibly influential and widely popular band. I hate to compare them to The Rolling Stones because the two are pretty different, but I simply like The Who quite a bit more. Roger Daltrey really sounds great in all their songs which isn't something that I can personally say about Jagger. I do like Keith's drumming a lot because it changed rock drumming immensely, but Keith's crazy style distracts me a tiny bit. Don't get me wrong. He was an absolutely incredible drummer.

I had to throw this song in here because it's one of my favorites. I love the recognizable intros to many of The Who's songs. Their use of the synthesizer in this version really ties well into the rest of the song. It's one of those songs that I'll have a craving for. If I'm in the mood for a great classic rock song, this one always satisfies. 

Now I know that this is a really common song by them but I really love this one too. The synth intros sound great to me. Baba O'Riley didn't become so popular on accident. It's just a really great song. The Who really isn't the kind of band that I could listen to for hours, but few bands really are. They're perfect for when I'm in the mood for some classic rock.
