I adore The Who. Maybe I just have an affinity for British bands - and I know my chosen genre is classic rock. But The Who rises far above most British classic rock bands.
It is the kind of sprawling, pushing music that spans the ages, from sounding slightly "Beatles-esque" from their earlier songs like "My Generation" and "Happy Jack" to the almost 80's tinge of "You Better you Bet" and "Eminence Front."And who can forget the Rock Opera smash TOMMY, of which one of my favourite songs "Sparks" originates (of course, most "young" people these days only know The Who from CSI - all of CSI's theme songs are original The Who songs).
Of course, The Who also puts on one amazing live show, which I was priviliged enough to see a few years ago during their reunion tour. Both Roger Daltry and Pete Townsend (and his windmill arm) were in peak form.
When I thought about dressing like "The Who," I felt this earthy rock vibe. Ripped outta the 70's with hippie feminine touches on a rougher tomboy-like frame. A little bit of poppy sunshine doesn't hurt either.
