| Summary |
The Who was one of the most influential of the 1960s British Invasion bands-not just because of their loud and occasionally destructive stage presence-but also because of its smart songs and albums such as "My Generation," Who's Next, Tommy, and Quadrophenia, in which they explored themes such as frustration, angst, irony, and a youthful inclination to lash out. This collection explores the remarkable depth and breadth of the Who's music through a philosophical lens |
