Eddie Vedder Sings The Praises Of The Who
. Vedder hails the band for breaking down barriers and setting the standard for modern rock bands to follow while he also dubs them the best live band in the world. He tells Rolling Stone: "The Who began as spectacle. They became spectacular. Early on, the band was in pure demolition mode; later, on albums like 'Tommy' and 'Quadrophenia', it coupled that raw energy with precision and desire to complete musical experiments on a grand scale." Reflecting on the first time he heard the legendary band as a starry eyed nine-year-old he reveals: "I was around nine when a babysitter snuck 'Who's Next' onto the turntable. The parents were gone. The windows shook. The shelves were rattling. Rock & roll. That began an exploration into music that had soul, rebellion, aggression, affection. Destruction. And this was all Who music."
