  The Who - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Who are an English rock band who first came to prominence in the 1960s, and grew in stature to become one of the greatest rock 'n' roll bands of all time [1][2] [3] [4].
Also in 1979, The Who released a documentary film called The Kids Are Alright and a film version of Quadrophenia, the latter becoming a huge box office hit in the UK and the former becoming something of a holy grail for Who fans and a summation of the band's Keith Moon era.
Jones's membership occurred during The Who's most prolonged period of inactivity (after their 1982 "split up", their only public performances were at the Live Aid concert in 1985 and a one-off appearance on British TV in 1988).

 The Who
The Who's ringing power chords and explosive beat made them one of the most influential bands in rock history and were godfathers of punk and pioneers of the rock opera.
The Who's distinctive sound was born of the couplings and collisions among Pete Townshend's alternately raging guitar playing, Keith Moon's powerful drumming style, John Entwistle's agile, thundering bass lines, and Roger Daltrey's impassioned vocals.
The Who then embarked on what they announced would be their last tour, ending with a concert in Toronto on December 17, 1982.

 The Who by Numbers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Who By Numbers is an album by British rock band The Who, released in 1975.
A few tracks stand in contrast, including the playfulness of the modest hit "Squeeze Box" and "Blue, Red and Grey"'s claim that "I like every minute of the day." But John Entwistle's contribution, "Success Story", returns to display nearly as despairing and cynical a view of stardom as the rest of the record.
The Who By Numbers peaked at the number 7 position on the UK album charts and number 8 on the Billboard 200 album charts in the United States.

THE WHO -- The Who By Numbers / Who Are You (MCA)
The Who By Numbers is a collection of deeply personal and self-examining songs written (mainly) by guitarist/songwriter Pete Townshend after the 1973 Quadrophenia tour.
For those of us who have had Who Are You since its original release in 1978, it's great because now we have another version of the album.

 Death Statistics from Buchenwald Concentration Camp   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The total number of prisoners at Buchenwald was only 5,382 at the start of the war on September 1, 1939, but by the end of September 1939 the camp population had increased to 8,634 after Polish political prisoners were brought in.
An estimated number of 1,100 people were executed in the crematorium and an estimated number of between 12,000 and 15,000 people were dead upon arrival from the camps in the east or fell victim to the evacuation marches.
The Jews who were held in the "Small Camp" at the bottom of the slope in the barracks that were the farthest away from the gate house were not invited to attend the ceremony, which was for Communist political prisoners only.

The Who by Numbers is by far, the most underrated of the albums put forth by the Who.

 The Who - The Who By Numbers
Because the Who is itself so stylized -- alone among their early-Sixties peers, they sound like no one else, neither Chicago bluesmen nor Memphis rockabillys -- Townshend always had to seek themes and characters, as well as musical ideas, that were pure rock & roll.
What they want is what the Who, as the ultimate manifestation of a certain part of the heart of rock, has always promised: a way out of their obligation to the ultimate piper, Time.
After a dozen years, the Who are the only unit still retaining the same personnel they had during the initial British musical invasion.

Who cares now, beyond a few record collector nuts?" Which is why whenever you catch a record company actually doing right by an artist, as is the case with MCA's recent exhaustive rehaul of the Who's back catalog, you have to wonder if that was Satan you just saw purchasing parkas down at J.C. Penney.
Were you to compare, say, the recent issue of The Who By Numbers with its mid-Eighties, budget-line CD counterpart, the contest is non-existent.
You see, the Who was the nastiest, most aggressive rock and roll band to date, prototypically punk in their violence and swagger, and one that made bombast and power essential via their pioneering overamplification and the extrovert, play-everything-but-the-beat drum genius of Keith Moon.

 The Who By Numbers Complete Liner Notes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Townshend’s writing by The Who By Numbers was in stark contrast to the work he had been attempting on previous Who albums beginning with the rock opera Tommy, the unrealized multi-media Lifehouse project, which yielded Who's Next, and the ambitious, impossible to-perform Quadrophenia.
The Who By Numbers subtly achieved a new standard of craftsmanship for the band, an approach which would serve it well in the years to come.
ALL THE TRACKS on The Who By Numbers were recorded at the Shepperton Sound Stage on Ronnie Lane’s mobile studio during April and May of 1975.

 The Who Guitar Tabs and Chords @ Guitar Masta.net
The Who are a British rock band that first came to prominence in the 1960s.
The band grew in stature to become one of the most highly-regarded and popular artists of the 1970s and - after periods of retirement from 1983 to 1988 and from 1990 to 1995 - has continued to perform as a live act sporadically but with undiminished popularity.
In their early days they were notorious for Auto-destructive art displays, destroying their instruments at the end of shows (especially Townshend, whose guitar-smashing would become a rock cliché, and infamous wildman Keith Moon).

This is a remarkable album for the fact that it is one of the very few Who albums that hasn't produced a big hit (It's Hard being the other one).
None of the songs would qualify for a 'greatest hits' cd and none of the songs stayed long in the live sets, which is very strange because there are some very good songs on this album.
The cover of this album is something special: a caricature of The Who, done as a 'connect-the-dots' drawing (made bass-player by John Entwistle).

Still, "there are substantial numbers who are not reaching the glucose levels that would benefit them," said Nathan, who presented the study Sunday at the American Diabetes Association annual meeting in San Diego.
Nathan and his colleagues followed 1,441 volunteers with type 1 diabetes who were enrolled in a study between 1983 and 1989.
Of 1,375 volunteers who continued to provide information to researchers, those who had intensively controlled their diabetes in the 1980s were less than half as likely as the others to have had heart attacks, strokes, angina, angioplasties or coronary bypass operations.

Pete Townshend is the brain behind the music and lyrics on all The Who's stuff, and he wanted to make another "rock opera" like "Tommy" but the whole idea fell apart after Pete had a nervous breakdown.
This album transmits all the Who spirit: you can find great solos by Pete, fantastic basslines by John (after listenin' to the album ya'll see that he's the best bassplayer ever), wonderful vocals by Roger and amazing drums by Keith.
The Who will always be known for their quite excellent but far more overpraised concept Tommy or even for Townsend's fascinating aborted masterwork Lifehouse and his brilliant Quadrophenia.

The Who by Numbers functions as Pete Townshend's confessional singer/songwriter album, as he chronicles his problems with alcohol ("However Much I Booze"), women ("Dreaming From the Waist" and "They Are All in Love"), and life in general.
However, his introspective musings are rendered ineffective by Roger Daltrey's bluster and the cloying, lightweight filler of "Squeeze Box." In addition, Townshend's songs tend to be underdeveloped, relying on verbosity instead of melodicism, with only the...
