Comment:
Ultimately, what drives the Who's sound — and nearly drove the band crazy — is four wildly idiosyncratic identities submerging themselves into a massive sonic cauldron of churning rhythm, overdriven volume, and frenzy-inspiring showmanship. Bassist John Entwistle, the unflappable anchor, kept the bottom end down as his bandmates raged: the manic-panic cymbal-and-tom spray of Keith Moon; the windmilling guitar spectacle of Pete Townshend; the blue-collar-opera vocal melodrama of Roger Daltrey. Nowhere is this dynamic better captured than in "A Quick One While He's Away" from their 1968 appearance on [i]The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus[/i], where they come together for an [i]a cappella[/i] intro, then split apart like an atomic reactor reaching critical mass. And consider the outfit's gob-smacking ability to capture the anguish of teenhood, from the angelic beauty of "Tattoo," Townshend's coming-of-age confessional, to the cotton-candy innocence of Daltrey's bittersweet Britpop bouquet, "Early Morning Cold Taxi."
