Pete Townshend is definitely the strangest member of the band and that includes the late great Keith Moon.

Lots of reasons why The Who are one of the great rock bands of all time, but for me the topper is Townshend's lyrics.

"The beach is a place where a man can feel He's the only soul in the world that's real."

"The radio blasting the girls are glancing the dash is dancing with gleaming dials"

Funny, I was just listening to Pete’s “Chinese Eyes” album. Really one of the first albums I got into when I get started my Who phase.

Great songs, like “The Sea Refuses No River” and “Slit Skits”, “Stardom in Acton”, didn’t really sell very well, but it’s still one of my favorites.
