 Why this Web Page?
Why this web page? Because The Who is the greatest rock and roll band ever and this is their greatest album. No other band has been driven by the creative intensity of a leader like Pete Townshend. His genius, passion and sincerity are obvious in every song he writes. This album is his greatest acheivement. It is his masterpiece, the rock opera that defines the musical peak of its era. You should listen to this album, really listen to it, from beginning to end. This music is as personal as personal gets. You can't help but identify with "Jimmy," the main character in the story. There is a "Jimmy" in all of us and Townshend digs him out of you as you listen to the music. Listen and listen again. This music is about freedom, soul freedom, the kind of freedom that you can only feel fully after imprisonment. Listen! Listen to the album!

RealAudio® Excerpts from the Songs Soon this web page will contain links to several RealAudio excerpts from several of the songs. RealAudio is a plug-in product for Netscape and MS Internet Explorer that compresses and streams music files so that it is viable to listen to them via the web. Without compression technology of this sort, music files would be far too large to download (just a minute of CD-quality, stereo audio in an uncompressed format requires several megabytes of storage space!). So, if you haven't tried RealAudio, download it now!
