So, I'm gonna go ahead and say it, not a fan (of them as a band) in their early stages. I personally think that these guys are a flock of rebels with 0.00 cause, and they strike me as a bit psychotic sometimes. While their loony antics do sometimes amuse me, overall, I find them to be weird, Austin-Powers-dressing spazzes. However, as they got older and kinda settled down, I found them much more tolerable.
Onto their music. Like their image, I'm not a huge fan of them in their early stages, but they definitely grow on me as they progress through their albums. They always kind of have a funky/ techno sound in the background of their music, and I find it super catchy and addictive. I actually mentioned this in my other post, but these guys kind of give me a Queen vibe sometimes too.
I love the song Who are You? a whole bunch, I actually sing to it while driving rather frequently. I love the harmonized singing and of course, and I love how calm they are in this video compared to their old days.
Also, I know this one is super cliche to be my favorite, but I LOVE Baba O'riley. A weird music illusion I have for that song? A robot running a marathon. I don't know, it's so techno-y and it gets faster and faster toward a build up and intro into the rest of the song, it's not that weird. Anyways, I love the funky keyboard in this song, and the prominent role of the drums.
Here is a great clip of a Keith Moon drum solo, the sound quality is way off, but the footage is great
