Looking forward to everyone abstaining as they’ve not heard any albums just a few singles :laughing:

A few good tunes but probably the most overrated of the classic 60s acts (along with Clapton). Seem like a bunch of pricks too. 2/5

Had a few mates who were well into them. Well done entwistle can play bass. :man_shrugging: :roll_eyes: :laughing:

Strongly disagree with this. I occasionally find Top Gear entertaining

Fuck off, I was playing bass with my thumb when I was fifteen, he was a grown ass man!

I am saying that I am a better bass player than the Who’s bass player.

See you there. Get a post covid pint and a fight in

Toyed with abstaining because I’ve never had any interest in them and never listened to one of their albums all the way through, but then you look at that list of singles and realise that you know nearly all of them and they are all pretty great.

They’ll never really be for me (the epitomise a sort of butch, stonewashed denim rockism that does nothing for me) but I don’t think I can give less than a 3 for a band that have released that many great singles.

My formative years were peak Britpop and like many who grew up listening to Oasis, Blur, Pulp in the charta my first forays outside of what was on Radio 1 week in week out was classic 60s stuff, including a Who Best Of which I played a lot as a teenager. Great singles on it, but didn’t really rate the albums I heard (Who’s Next and Tommy; Live at Leeds was fine).

Haven’t actively listened to them for probably 15 years minimum, but 3/5 feels feels fair. I don’t really know anything about them other than the book writing defence, maybe I’d score them lower if I knew what it was that drives so much vitriol, but just not really interested enough to read up.

The best thing about the who is CSI miami memes. 1/5

Some good singles, don’t really care enough to hate them, have vague memories of some of Who’s Next being ok. 2/5

Just British stuff?

Alright Donald Trump

I don’t think I hate the Kinks as much as I hate the Who, but it’s a close thing
