The Who was formed in London in 1964, and they are, without a doubt, one of the most influential bands of all time- selling over 100 million albums around the world. But, if one is searching for a single word to illustrate the band’s genius- describe the impact of their music, and explain their importance in music history, the term that truly defines The Who is ‘GROUNDBREAKING.’
The Who were the groundbreakers of auto-destructive art- destroying guitars and drums during their incendiary live performances. The band that created the first rock opera.
The band that pushed the limits of sound- establishing records for being the loudest concert band, and pioneering the development of the Marshall stacks PA system The Who were the originators of improvisational musicianship that inspired the future of rock n’ roll showmanship.
Roger & Speedy teamed to sing a very cool lead vocal on “Armenia City in the Sky” through an effects filter. Speedy was a great songwriter. His most famous composition being the #1 UK smash “Something in the Air” while he was the frontman for Thunderclap Newman in ’69. “Armenia City in the Sky” was the only song The Who ever performed that was specifically written for the group by someone outside of the band.
John Atkins in the book The Who on Record: A Critical History, expressed that the song's title is "merely a euphemism for the 'destination' of an acid trip”. The track is stacked with overdubs: backward guitar licks, raga drones, feedback, and the clever inclusion of backward horns.
“The Who Sell Out features one of the group’s greatest hits “I Can See For Miles”- Pete Townshend considered the song the best he's ever written. Townshend wrote this shortly after meeting his future wife Karen. It was a reminder that even though he was on the road, he could still keep an eye on her from miles away.
The song was inspired by suspicion that would arise when Pete had to leave Karen to go on the road, and was unable to know exactly what she was up to every second of the day.
However, Townshend wrote the tune from the persona of a vindictive character who is trying to win back his love rather than about the feeling of missing someone’s company while touring with his band.
