(again, from Facebook.)
As Alistair puts it, these articles are merely sketches of an argument not the fully-realised canvas. I still think they hold interest, though: music criticism as dialogue. Any excuse to print Neil Kulkarni's words...

I *would* hate The Who - for Daltrey alone - but damn it. They wrote some fine songs.

I was almost gonna be snarky and say "Pete, not 'they'". Then I remembered "My Wife". John had some damn good ones, too.

No, don't. If only for the 'early' stuff. My Generation, Can't Explain, etc etc...

"Horatio, I had a dream I was in a band with Roger Daltrey, Keith Moon and Pete Townshend."
"Well I guess the Who... *puts sunglasses on*... Are you."

Rocking out is so fake.

No it is not. Rocking out is GREAT.

Yeah, let's all go watch "The Windmill" on YouTube.
The people who adore "rocking out" are also the cowards whopollute their favourite bands message board, ditch their bands over new music and whinge about every other facet of the bands private and personal lives.

They the same kind of people who make sweeping generalisations Rod? And why hate The Who when there are still Led Zeppelin albums in circulation?

Only dickheads make generalisations.

The joke here is that I am implying that I'm a dickhead.

I do hate the Who because Daltrey is repulsive. I would never eat a sandwich made by that man, even if it had like really nice cheese in it. Because he looks grubby, even when clean. And he'd leave a thumbprint in the bread.

I don't hate The Who or Zeppelin, I just hate the faceitious two faced nature of "idiot fan idolatry... and people who pander towards it.

Fun read. I think you can like The Who genuinely, But it's okay to enjoy Led Zeppelin if you feel appropriatly guilty afterwards.
