http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6134&rws=%2Fpete-townshend%2Fdiscography.rssFrom 1964 to 1982, Pete Townshend was the infamously windmilling guitarist for the Who. Along with innumerable hit singles, he penned the rock operas <i>Tommy</i> and <i>Quadrophenia,</i> the latter a stunning conceptual epic about his love/hate relationship with the U.K. mod scene of the mid-1960s. Townshend's dynamic, over-the-top guitar playing mellowed to a bluesy, rootsy, down-home strut when he collaborated with ex-Faces bassist Ronnie Lane for a solid duo album in 1976 entitled <i>Rough Mix</i>. Townshend's first pop-oriented solo album (1972's <i>Who Came First</i> was too eccentric for the mainstream market) was 1980's <i>Empty Glass</i>, featuring the chart-topper "Let My Love Open the Door." The criminally underrated <i>All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes</i> (whose final song, "Slit Skirts," may be Townshend's most moving composition) followed two years later. Who reunion tours, less successful solo efforts, and the massively successful Broadway production of <i>Tommy</i> have dominated this English legend's career throughout the last fifteen years. - Eric SheaClassic Rocken720Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:39:32 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6134&rws=%2Fpete-townshend%2Fdiscography.rss From 1964 to 1982, Pete Townshend was the infamously windmilling guitarist for the Who.
