Polo the reason why they sound different is evolution. The Who is a 60s English Band. They were part of the English Invasion. And like the Stones, the Who evolved with each passing decade. You are now listening to 80s Who.

I tapped on this video as fast as I could. I KNEW you would absolutely love it. The song was a bit controversial among many of The Who's fans for being disco-ish, but I don't care what anybody labels this song; I just label it as being one of the greatest songs this band ever did. The groove is strong and undeniable, Pete Townsend sings with such soul and conviction, his guitar playing is subtle and amazing, and overall this song just rocks extremely steady. All of the major British invasion bands of the 60s, beginning (of course) with The Beatles, majorly expanded their initial sounds way beyond what anyone could have predicted for any of them. Even the Rolling Stones, who have remained remarkably stable in their music, have expanded their sound big-time at various times in their legendary 60+ year career. As I've been saying now for many years, Americans invented Rock and Roll, but the British perfected it. It's been absolutely wonderful.

My first time was the Who Are You tour, '80 I think ($15 general admission, a week after the Cleveland tragedy)... half the staff where I worked went to the show, boss said he couldn't spare me, I went anyway. Skipped school but went there anyway to pick up some doobage and got kicked out by my first hour teacher...LOL... Was an awesome day. Listened to the show on the way home too! WRIF did a tape delay broadcast. Last memory of that night was the parking lot where our group met to carpool to the show, stereo blasting out live "the Who" and us playing air guitar jumping off the top of dumpsters (as if they were Marshall stacks) doing Pete's windmill. Good times!

The reason this song sounds different from the others you did by The Who is Pete Townshend (lead guitar and composer) is singing the lead on thios one. Roger Daltrrey, the bands lead singer did the vocals on the other ones you did. Also, Kenny Jones is the drummer on this. He replaced Keith Moon who passed away after the Who Are You album.

First, congratulations on crossing into a quarter-million subscribers. I think you'll like what the Who's Quadrophenia album has to offer. I like it beginning-to-end because it tells a story, but if I had to pick out some individual tracks, I'd nominate "The Real Me", "5:15", "Sea and Sand", and "Love, Reign o'er Me". "The Real Me" has some good horns, while "Love, Reign o'er Me", the closing track of the album, is EPIC - it'll give you chills for sure.
