Forgive the near four year old bump but this is a timeless band....
I fucking love The Who, just listening now and they never sound anything apart from amazing. I am sure they are appreciated in these circles but seem to be woefully overlooked so often when people are discussing the best rock bands.

I've seen the who and the kinks....The Who at Wembley Stadium in about 1979/1980...had to sleep outside in the car park the night before, to make sure we were first thru the turnstiles and ran down the front...obviously....cracking bill too...The Who, The Stranglers and ACDC....spent the night after the show also sleeping in the car park...just because it was a glorious hot night and turned into a bit of a WHO sing a long....woke up Sunday morning with the market being erected around us. Daltrey can sing in a stadium and it wasnt too big for him, have seen a few who have been lost...he wasnt. Always had a soft spot for Behind Blue Eyes.
Went to see the stage show of Tommy many times in the same years....only recently sold the programme on ebay for a tidy packet...Allan Love played Daltrey and Peter Straker played a blinder....am sure he has since died, but he was bloody fantastic in that show.
The Kinks I saw I think at Hammersmith...had a lot on vinyl, since gone awol, must replace them...apart from the obvious very early stuff, they had an album....not sure maybe called Sleepwalker...which if I remember correctly I played some serious welly out of....good choons....didnt see Ray Davies do his Waterloo Sunset stint on the South Bank last summer....meant to, but couldnt at the last moment.
Both what I think of as distinctively London bands....altho they probably hail from essex/kent etc etc...but you know what I mean....Southern, in the way that Oasis had the Northern sound covered. And both bands have a catalogue that have stood the test of time...good stuff chaps.
