It seems that I get the most response from this series, which I enjoy writing immensely. However, entertainment is sort of trivial compared to science, so I urge everyone to read the series about science and technology that I post on Sunday evenings, Pique the Geek. No matter. The Who are one the most important bands to release music, and I am glad to write about them.
I suspect that many of you will not recognize this excellent piece of music, since it was first released in 1966, before The Who became a sensation with the release of Tommy in 1969. However, Pete Townshend always called it the parent of Tommy, and I think that it is just wonderful.
To make my point about how much influence that The Who have had in popular music, I have included several covers that many consider to be important bands these days. Many of those are good, but no one could do it better than The Who did in the day, or even later. In case you do not know, I will give you a lineup of the band from the first video.
