“Love Reign O’er Me” is a MUST and the sooner you check it out, the better. A musical journey with most powerful Roger Daltry vocals.

[@kbusby4824]

Absolutely. Wonderful song.

[@centuryrox]

My favorite Who song! Definitely should be next!

[@mountainbikemayhem1833]

Out of all the songs I absolutely love that’s probably my favorite all time

[@imsirius2]

Agreed

[@scottNNJ]

Love Reign O’er Me is musically The Who’s best song, in my opinion. Won’t Get Fooled Again is lyrically the best. Rob Squad’s checked out 50% so far.

[@mljrotag6343]

Yup.

[@that1dragonkid]

This is my favorite song by The Who. They played this music video all the time on MTV and it just spoke to me. Plus, you get to hear Pete Townsend on lead vocals and John Entwistle's bass line (which is so funky). Great song!

[@jollyrodgers7272]

Did the video have Bishops/Cardinals dressed in red strutting around onstage with Nuns?

Yes, they need to see that video, Townsend is ripping on guitar.

[@ungenerationed9022]

I love this one too!

[@rachellavely4049]

This song BANGS! With that funky bass line, you can’t help but turn it up.

[@alangil40]

This is one of my favorites. Also, if you want to hear Entwistle absolutely rip on bass have a listen to The Real Me from Quadrophenia.

Driving slowly through the city on a warm summer night with this song blasting from the speakers. Perfect fit.

Another thing is the lead singer in this song is Pete Townsend. The lead vocals for the majority of the songs by The Who was Roger Daltrey

[@chrisgrethlein6196]

From the mid-80s, this was probably the Who's last big hit. Even so, it's one of my favorites. It's less a song and more of a jam session with words thrown in. Love it! 🎶

[@VicMikesvideodiary]

This and You Better You Bet are some of my favorite Who songs. " time goes on and people forget, forget "they're" hiding behind their fame wealth and power, behind an eminence front. Every now and then they slip up, and people see. But then they forget. The who is a real wake up/rebel rock band.

[@marybaillie8907]

This song was written and sung by Pete Townsend . It was from their 1982 studio album "Its Hard". When Townsend introduces this song in concert he tells the crowd, " This is what happens if you put too much white powder up your nose". Some say it had to do with his recent rehab. The bass line and the drum beat are so powerful, with the guitar work keeping you entertained. Great reaction. ☃️🎅🌟🎄🎁 ...."Please Come Home For Christmas" .....THE EAGLES.... Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️🇨🇦 🇨🇦

[@jollyrodgers7272]

Pete must've made up and made nice with the Catholic Church, because originally it was a slam on the Vatican and R.C. church - In Concert, Bishops/Cardinals were dressed in red frocks (dressed to kill) strutting their stuff onstage with 'Nuns' - as it's all a put on, a sham by "His Eminence" the Pope - but all such references have been expunged! Doesn't have much reference, if any, to drugs (not nearly as the Vatican reference).

[@quincee3376]

Yes, . Have you seen the live video from Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto Mary?

[@arautus]

Almost all of their songs were written by Pete Townshend.

[@teresajarrell452]

It's not CHRISTMAS without the EAGLES! (must have the TEMPTATIONS also) 👍❣️😃❣️👍

As someone who grew up with The Who and went to see Tommy in the theatre, I am astounded that I did not realize this was their song and I love the song! 😮❤

[@billclarke117]

Kenny Jones is the drummer here. He joined The Who after Keith Moon passed away. Kenny previously was in The Faces with Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood from The Rolling Stones.

[@rullmourn1142]

"Eminence" is high power or fame, so an "Eminence Front" is the illusion of such, as Pete Townshend indicates with the line, "It's a put-on." He said the song is about "the absurdity of drug-fueled grandiosity," possibly related to the Ativan detox program he went through shortly before writing the song.

[@josephdurham6051]

"the real me" and "love reign o'er me" are two songs by the who, you definitely need to hear

[@derekhiemforth]

This song is SO underrated! One of the very best songs by The Who, IMO. Love it!

[@debraconaway6763]

John Entwhistle bass is 2nd to none! His riffs are so amazing

[@Bloodewing]

Jay and Amber I just want to let you know y'all are making a difference, an impact if you will. I'm a 62 year old redneck who lives alone and just got home from a month in the hospital after 2 major surgeries. I'm recovering, but it's slow. My kids and grandkids live in another state, so hard for them to see to me (plans are in place to move me to them, but will take time.). But, I look forward to your videos every day. Y'all are so positive and sweet it helps take my mind off myself for a short while. You feel the love through the screen I swear. I feel like I am sharing the music of my youth with my kids every video. Keep sharing the love and positivity. Love y'all!

[@roberthofmann8403]

The Who is an amazing band. In some ways, they defined rock n' roll, in others, they defied it, all the while just really doing their own thing.

[@technopirate304]

One of the first songs I heard from The Who over 40 years ago. This song is still to this day 🔥

[@lyriasfaves]

This is definitely my favorite of theirs. That bass line is infectious!!!

[@shiftymenno]

Townshend has introduced the song in live performances with: "This song is about what happens when you take too much white powder; it's called 'Eminence Front'".

[@davidhenricks9715]

This song is hypnotic! The intro is amazing!

[@andreasoice5905]

They travel with their core band and half a dozen musicians, but hire an entire local orchestra from the towns they do their show in. I find that so cool!😍

[@j.kevvideoproductions.6463]

Saw them in Denver in Nov. They kicked ass.

[@rwschumm]

One of my Fav Who songs! About 35yrs ago, I was on a business trip, and was heading back to my room when I heard 2 teens come out of a different room, and one of them said to the other 'Eminence Front'. I was tempted to say 'It's a put-On' as they passed, but didn't. But was surprised to see much younger kids seem to have known or heard of this song that was, even then, older than them! Thanks for Reacting to this song! :)

[@rwschumm]

@@brooklynbridgealias Was thinking it was released about 10yrs before that, but was wrong. Didn't seem that new when I heard these kids. Did you live it, or just a fact checker?

[@davidgallion3167]

Eminence Front is killer. The Who did well on MTV, which was huge in the 80s (I was in college). Getting airtime from The Who included You Better You Bet (1981) and Eminence Front (1982).

[@elegantirony78]

The Who is one of my favorite bands. Love Reign O're Me is beautiful

Saw The Who in 1975 with Keith Moon on drums, and again in 2000 with Zak Starkey (Ringo's son) on drums. They are a part of my life. I didn't think my own children would become such fans of theirs ----- but when my teenage daughter saw me watching them perform A Quick One from a VHS tape of the show Rock and Roll Circus ---- she stopped in the middle of the living room and exclaimed "Who Is This Band?!" She couldn't believe she was seeing something from the Sixties.

Gotta react to The Who's "Bargain". One of their top 5 songs.

[@squidwardshouse5431]

John 'Thunderfingers' Entwistle on the bass. Everytime I hear that freestyling on the first chorus I get a kick of adrenaline. If you have time check it out isolated its incredible. RIP legend.

[@richardb6260]

Roger Daltry did an album called McVicar which featured songs from a movie he starred in of the same name. While technically it isn't a Who album, it includes all the members of the band. The songs are great. I think you would particularly like "My Time is Gonna Come".

I'll never forget the night I had front row, center stage tickets to see The Who at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. When The Who perform live, Pete Townshend tends to talk to the audience a lot and describe the meaning of many of their songs. That night in Connecticut when the spotlight was on Pete introducing "Eminence Front" to the crowd, I was shocked when I looked and Roger Daltrey was kneeled down on the stage about 2 feet in front of me. Next thing I know, I'm carrying on a conversation with Roger Daltrey in the middle of a Who concert! I requested a song and he said the setlist for the night was already set. I asked it they'd play it the next night in Boston. I was there the next night, lo and behold The Who performed the song I requested the night before!

This song is from late in their career. You should listen to some of their music from their early period. Try listening to "The Kids Are Alright," "My Generation," or "I Can See For Miles." Also, for a Christmas song, consider listening to the Kinks' "Father Christmas."
