Our Take

Who doesn't love a concept album about selling out? Well, The Who certainly do, and their 1967 release "The Who Sell Out" is a hilarious, innovative take on the commercialization of pop music. From the cheeky radio jingles interspersed throughout the tracks to the album cover featuring the band members advertising various products, The Who fully commit to the satire, with a hefty dose of British wit.

The album kicks off with the energetic "Armenia City in the Sky," a psychedelic rock track that sets the tone for the rest of the record. The standout track, "I Can See for Miles," showcases the band's knack for crafting catchy melodies and infectious guitar riffs. The whimsical "Odorono" and the tongue-in-cheek "Silas Stingy" further solidify The Who's status as masters of clever, irreverent songwriting.

Pete Townshend's distinctive vocals shine throughout the album, while Keith Moon's dynamic drumming adds a sense of urgency and chaos to the mix. John Entwistle's basslines anchor the songs, providing a solid foundation for the band's musical experimentation.

Overall, "The Who Sell Out" is a brilliant, boundary-pushing album that remains just as relevant and entertaining today as it was over 50 years ago. So go ahead, indulge in this delightful romp through the world of commercialism with The Who - you won't be disappointed.
