Pete Townshend

The greatest mind Rock has ever seen.
Listen to the album 'Quadrophenia' and try to dispute that definition.

Pete Townshend

Best guitarist the world has ever seen. Guitarist/Singer of Legendary rock band, The Who. Famed for writing the worlds two greatest rock operas, Tommy and Quadrophenia.
Known for his aggresive treatment of the guitar, feedback and power-chord style.
Limp Bizcut- I wish i could write like Pete Townshend can. Then i would have hits.

Unknown person- Wow, hold up man. Why dont you just cover his songs and slaughter them to pieces?

Pete Townshend

Godfather of rock, lead gitarist, vocalist and main composer for The Who.

Falsely accused of downloading child porn in 2003, and found innocent later. Ridiculous accusation, since he was abused as a child himself and used his music to come to grips with it.
Main composer of My Generation, Tommy, Who's Next, Quadrophenia and much more.

Pete Townshend

Besides an unlikable guy with lots of money and a talent for playing guitar (and not beating someone with one as a weapon, since that allegedly got him knocked out) who would Pete Townshend be without the Who? Is it somehow unfair to Pete Townshend to think or say any of that?
Roger Daltry makes it sound like he wouldn't be anybody in particular without the Who, but really the Who was still a likeable band with him as the face of the band (before the 80s). It hasn't been the same since Pete Townshend started convincing everyone else in the band that he was the best thing to ever happen to the Who, and that nobody else was good enough to question him. At least Roger Daltry seems like a guy who had some heart.

Its interesting how people ignore the likelihood that a guy like Pete Townshend would happily try and put them out on the street because he is talented at something they like (music). Some people even think the guy is awesome even though they've never met him and dont know him.
Before the Who, who the fuck was Pete Townshend?
