 The Who - Free Encyclopedia
Notwithstanding their renown as a concept-album band, The Who had an active life as a singles band at least until 1972, when the single "Join Together" made the charts but was never released as part of an album.
Original recordings of the Who's music were used intermittently in various contexts unrelated to the band, starting with the use of a track from Tommy in a March of Dimes television commercial during in the 1970s.
The Who's participation was limited to the soundtrack, which includes songs from the Rock opera, new songs written for the soundtrack by Pete Townshend, and various Motown hits performed by the original artists.

 The Who
Although the Who spent the 60s in the shadow of the Beatles, Stones, and Hendrix, were inconsistent and occasionally formulaic in the 70s, and sporadically reunited for pointless cash-in tours through the 80s and 90s, they were still a first-rate band.
The recent MCA reissues of the Who's classic albums have dispersed many of their lesser-known recordings as bonus tracks, which you'd think would make some of their older compilation albums obsolete.
Half the tunes would have worked on a Who album, including the stately acoustic guitar/piano ballad "What Are We Doing Here?", like a melancholy "Hey Jude," and the joyous sing-along "You're Mine," propelled by a rollicking piano line.

Instead of responding to the insurgent punk movement, which labeled the Who as has-beens, the album represented the group's heaviest flirtation with prog rock since Quadrophenia.
This was the sound the Who thrived on in concert, but on record they were a different proposition, as Townshend pushed the group toward new sonic territory.
The Who returned in 1969 with the double concept album Tommy, which was acclaimed as the first successful rock opera.

 The Who
Who's Last, essentially, is an album for dummies: the biggest offense is that, as unfortunate and tired that farewell tour was, the setlist was NOT coinciding with the tracks they put up on the ensuing record.
The Who were among the first bands, if not the first band, to lock on to that idea from the very beginning, and as a result, no two Who records - at least, not until Keith Moon's demise, that is - sound the same.
Not even the Who's most ardent haters, and there are plenty, could accuse band leader Pete Townshend of lacking a musical vision expressly his own.

Whatever the name, the Who proved they could not only bring a temperamental song cycle to life on stage, they also showed there's still some compelling rock left in this on-again, off-again musical relationship.
