Pete Townsend really deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as the likes of Hendrix, Page, Clapton etc, his influence is hugely underrated, as is the skill involved in his music. I'm yet to meet someone who can really strum pinball wizard properly, for example.

The KZfaqr spelled it wrong, and so did you. Every Who down in Whoville knows the correct spelling is TOWNSHEND. Never leave the 'h' out.

Frankly "Pipe" I believe him to excel all the others you mentioned, not as guitar virtuoso, but as the brilliant composer, lyricist, player and singer that he is! His voice is so distinctive that it never gets "old" and never gets misidentified, no matter what he sings!

What's impressive about Pete Townshend is that he's an artist who understands nuance and dynamics in the rock genre. A very rare thing.

What I love about this is that so many bands of their era had to have a rhythm and lead guitarist. He just does both at the same time. For that reason he's one of the best of all time.

I have to agree. This is one of the greatest rock songs ever written. It was meant to be played at exactly this speed, not beat per minute faster or slower. Exactly at this speed. I rank The Who right behind the Beatles in Dylan in changing rock & roll. They invented punk, the rock opera, & heavy metal (you can hear it invented as they play the 15 minute version of My Generation on Live at Leeds.) Then they released Who's Next, surely one of Rocks classic albums, ranking with about four...

I am SO with you on this... I'll try to keep this short. SRSly - Just after @1:36 you can see him Start to "jam out" & by 1:50ish he's So into it... Then the rest of the song he just "Goes for It" ... It's incredible. and a bit sad that Mr. Pete, at His age, needs to continue to carry this Torch which should have been passed almost 2 decades prior... Anyway, My God - What an INCREDIBLE Performance! He goes 'Uber' around 3:45ish... i Triple-dog-Dare modern 'rock' Artists to be as awesome as he's being in That Moment! :D

Very unique sound. This is a very tough piece to play. Lots of change up. Takes a very high skill level to play. Tougher than most may think. Great timing and rhythm. Switching between his chord progressions is genius. This guy doesn't get the credit he deserves as a guitar player. One of the most unique sounds in rock history.
