The Who are legends. Aside from the Beatles and The Rolling Stones, the Who and Led Zeppelin are as big as rock n’ roll gets. And, believe it or not, the band are one of Dan Minard’s all-time favorites and inspirations. So it’s about time we did a show on them.
The challenge is it’s hard (pun intended) to settle on just one album. ‘Who’s Next’, ‘Tommy’ and even ‘Quadrophenia’ all deserve the Dandy Classic treatment on their own merits but we decided to go ahead and just do a two-part retrospective on the all-time greats.
Part one we talk about how Dan and I each got into the band and discuss the personalities of all four original members and how they formed together like Voltron to be the best live rock band on the planet. In part 2 we give our Top 10 favorite songs to kind of discuss the music itself in more depth. Also Dan shares what it was like to actually be in London the day bassist John Entwhistle died in July, 2002.
Ordinarily I’d write and pontificate in this space but I’m running out-of-time and I’ll let the podcast do the talking for a change. We know you’ll enjoy this episode if you dig one of rock n’ rolls greatest treasures. So without further ado I give you The Who!
