This song came out in 1982. By this point The Who, as a band, was 20 years old

Loved John Entwistle's bass on this.

This is the first album The WHO did an album with their infamous drummer Keith Moon . Keith was like the life of the band . People were talking the band couldn't make it without Keith . This song proved those people wrong .

Four words: Love Reign O'er Me.

John Entwistle is such an incredible bass player, nobody is close Thunder Fingers. The bass is all over it with theses tiny bass fill solos as only The Ox could deliver.

Just an FYI, this was also used as the background music for the GMC Sierra pick up, about being professional grade. A lot of people don't realize that background music is The Who lol

The Who is always underrated with Stones, Zeppelin, Beatles battling fans. Great 👍 choice.

As George Santayana said "those who forget history are condemned to repeat it." There's a similar theme in another Who song "Won't Get Fooled Again." In the chorus of that song, written during a time when groups like the Black Panthers and the Weathermen were calling for revolution, the protagonist says he will "tip my hat to the new constitution/Take a bow for the new revolution/Smile and grin at the change all around/Pick up my guitar and play/Just like yesterday/Then I'll get on my knees and pray/We don't get fooled again..." Sounds like it could be applied to our current world situation..

The Who were at their inception, first and foremost, an R & B band. It's difficult to see after almost 60 years of their work defining what hard rock is, but the funk was never far from the surface. You should hear them do "Heat Wave".

@Azabaxe80

2 жыл бұрын

@Some Guy You are missing the point. And the link between R&B (the essence of funk) and rock and roll. Queen doing "Another One Bites the Dust" was a stretch, because they (save John Deacon) were never into R&B. Led Zeppelin doing "The Crunge" was not a stretch because their background was the blues and some RnB. The Who doing "Eminence Front" makes total sense, because they were very representative of mod RnB culture.

This was a sample of Pete Townsend's writing style towards the end of The Who's great run as one of the world's greatest rock bands. They had lost their drummer, Keith Moon to a drug overdose, and replaced him with Kenny Jones, formerly of the Small Faces. This was the first album The Who put out with Kenny who did a competent job, he wasn't as flamboyant as Keith, but everyone was getting older and mellowed out a little, so their style was reflecting it. When Pete did his solo work, it sounded a lot like this. Social commentary, current events and such. Not love songs or teenage angst anymore, but the bewildering taking notice of adulthood. The loud and obnoxious guitar riffs were gone, replaced by catchy and whimsical picking and strumming. The Who are perpetually on tour. It's just Roger Daltrey and Pete Townsend left now, supported by Zach Starkey on drums (Ringo Starr's son, and prodigy of Ringo and Keith) and a different Bass player since John Entwhistle passed away (again, another overdose).

The Who fan ever since start like music. been born raised in Rio moved to LA . Moved in 81 when was 19 and start seeing all my idols live, remember my first which at the time was living dream Allman Brothers. Was even at the Stones concert when people almost killed Prince,smart he run out of stage. Was around October 83 and The Who had a concert for this new album, to make even more fantastic The Clash played before. L A Coliseum jammed but was able to walk near the stage,The Clash well what can I say when they were finished was out of breath. My girl and I sat on the field to rest drinking water and bear and smoking not a Marlboro . We were there relaxing when the lights went off, and on in all sorts of colors, it was on. They open with a song from the new album with Roger on vocal, He is The Who voice after all and what a voice, played a couple of oldies, when the intro of E Front start before Pete solo came on i was already hooked with the music beat,his solo took me even higher and when he start singing already had on the same level of Love reign on..... . Sure knew he was a good singer, he had release a solo album the year before a good one by the way. Now E Front he wrote for his tune of voice, Roger singing would not feat this tune. Anyway when it was over, got in my car and drove not straight home, went to Tower records to buy the album and still today is on all my playlists.

Thanks for doing this one. It's a favorite of mine. On a great pair of headphones or buds this is UNBELIEVABLE! So much going on. So many overlapping sounds. That incredible bass. This song doesn't get enough love.

Love the song! The title is actually Eminence Front.

This is a great Who song. So glad you both liked it so much. Another great Who song is "Join Together". Give that one a try, you'll both love that one too.

Pete Townsend the guitarist and writer of the Who, sings lead on this track. He also has a solo record. LET MY LOVE OPEN THE DOOR is a very good tune. As for the Who, if you really want to jam hard listen to THE REAL ME. And listen closely to the lyrics.

When this album came out I was a junior in high school. We went to the record store on release day and bugged them until they cut a box open and sold me a record. We went to my house and put the record on. This was the last song on side 1. It hadn’t been played on the radio yet, and it was different. As I listened I thought, “This is either the best or worst song on the record, but I think it’s probably the best.” And it was. I remember like it was yesterday.

I like the way they start this song with a simple Casio bossa nova setting

Yes you’re right very cool!! jamming’ baby. Thank you great reactions from You both!!

This tracks Intro is thee GOAT in Rock ever! And the tracks Vibe? Cool like the other side of the pillow!

"I was not expecting this from the Who"...that makes two of us....lol. For years I did not know this was the WHo.

What a wonderful reaction, you really understood this song and yes it is so funky! The Who is an incredible rabbit hole ✌💜🎶

The who had so much musical talent that they could move into just about whatever genre they pleased. They always had their own sound and were more progressive with great musical and lyrical themes. aaannddd how bout dat bass.... filthy

This is one grooving song so cool

So much great music from The Who. Behind Blue Eyes is one of my favorites, along with Reign O'er Me, Baba O'Reilly, I Can See For Miles, See Me/Feel Me, pretty much all of Tommy.

Everyone has a front ,an imminence front , and forget their hiding !

Absolutely great reaction from both of you. You really got into the funky groove. Totally underrated song. Timeless LYRICS.

I got to see The Who in a sumo cast in Chicago. There was so much demand they had to sumo cast the concert in several theaters in Chicagoland. Then they played the movie Tommy, you gotta see it!

I love this song and I thoroughly enjoyed watching you enjoy it also I understand

"The Who" are easily a top 10, possibly top 5 all time classic rock band.

Kenny Jones is definitely totally underrated he did a phenomenal job he was one of the best drummers of all time
