The Who classics that one generation before me grew up with are songs I have to research. I am only aware of a select few on my own through shared interest with my mother and through current pop culture.
For example -
"Who Are You" (1978)
- Theme to the television series, "CSI"
- No. 31 on The Who's 50 Greatest Songs (Rolling Stone)
"My Generation" (1965)
- Rick Harrison, owner of a Las Vegas pawn shop featured in the reality History Channel television series, "Pawn Stars," is a huge fan of The Who ... Rick Harrison's passion for The Who is the only way I recognize the names of The Who members
- No. 3 on The Who's 50 Greatest Songs (Rolling Stone)
As for "Eminence Front" -
- Released in 1982
- No. 10 on The Who's 50 Greatest Songs (Rolling Stone)
- No. 68 on Billboard Hot 100
- One of my mom's favorite songs...So it is one of my favorite songs (especially being from the 1980's)
The Who are a British icon in the music industry, whether dating to the 1960's and capturing the attention of fans long before me or capturing my attention long after the band's established success.
