is one of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll albums ever, and is arguably The Who at the peak of the band’s considerable powers., which was a constant on the turntables of disaffected teens everywhere in the 1970s and ’80s, counting Eddie Vedder, Scott Weiland, and so many proto rock stars as disciples.is The Who album that has always, and probably will always, define the band.
Yeah, I do, and it was very, very exciting. In fact, you’re absolutely right. “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer” was another song that was out, which had a Moog thing on it. And so I was listening to that stuff, and when I got my first little EMS box, one of the first things I thought was, “I can play flutes, I can play clarinets, I can play trumpets!” They were funny little noises, but I discovered that these machines allowed me to experiment with melody. I also had a Lowrey organ.
No. I don’t think so. I think the possibility now is that the graphic novel might lead to a movie, which will be good, it would be fun. But I think the idea of building an argument, a debate about how people in power wish to use the arts and popular music is a fucking touchy subject, rooted in the fact that musicians, across the board, are like the rest of the populous: polarized into two groups, left and right. There seems to be very little middle.
