The age-old question: Beatles or the Rolling Stones? The correct answer: The Who.

The person who says, “the beach kisses the sea” is called a poet. We are sorely lacking poets these days. Thanks for the great reaction!

Pete Townshend could write some incredible lyrics and Roger would sing the hell out of them with Keith, Pete and John all masters of their instruments

Quadrophenia must be listened to front to back...in my opinion this is the best WHO album, and they have many greats

Of course the drums sound like thunder; they're being played by Keith Moon.

The quintessential Daltrey vocal performance. Vocalists don't sound like this anymore. Passion and a hint of menace.

This is why alll us old Rock and Rollers want this music to stay alive. So happy you appreciate this epic band.

I'm 61 and this is the kind of minor-key angst-ridden stuff I listened to when I was 15. It brings tears to my eyes to see this man build a bridges and connect. By the way, they said "the way the beach is kissed by the sea." because they're English poets. The word "o'er" is a poetic way of making the two-syllable "over" and make it one syllable. This kind of thing is what made me want to be an English major.

Roger Daltrey always gives it everything he has. Some people sing from the heart, Roger sings from the heart, the gut, the sinews and the bones.

"Blew me outta the damn screen!" That's the best Who description I've heard.

You know a song has something, when the intro can bring tears to your eyes.

Moon is hitting those drums like they took his little sister's snack money!

You are an old soul, man, and you're just discovering it now. This music was made for you.

Now you know why everyone has been telling you that you need to listen to this song. Glad you are finally here !

Roger's best vocals on record, but also Pete wrote an Increedddible song.

Stone cold masterpiece. Roger Daltrey’s vocals brought Pete Townsend’s incredible compositions to full colorful life.

This tune has been touching souls for decades..... and will continue to after we're all gone.....

Outright masterpiece. One of the greatest songs of all time.

The Who had four members, all pure virtuosos on their instruments. (Moon on the drums here! Man!)

The incomparable look on your face when the singing actually started was EPIC!

"See me, feel me" "I can't explain" two of their best.

I knew the “Stank Face” was coming out early on this song.

Jamel, at 10:03 when you said, "This band is amazing. I understand why you love them so much" made me tear up a bit! Yes, The Who is powerful, the energy of God 🙏💖 comes through their songs, manifested in the glory of Roger, Pete, John and Keith playing together. You are my favorite "Reactor," Jamel, because you get it on sooooo many levels. Thank you.

The beach kisses the sea “Who says that? Exactly!

In my honest opinion, this is the best screaming vocals ever. Masterpiece ☮️

I was born in 1956, so I'm 64 this year. Jamel, your Musical Time Machine has transported you back to the "home" you never knew you had. I get goosebumps just watching you respond to to the music that moved us back in the day. I was 17 in 1973 when I met my high school sweetheart. She was 15. We married that summer of 1978, right after I graduated from college. This year, we will celebrate our 42nd anniversary. In 2002, I went to the wrong urologist and experienced the Vasectomy from Hell. I'm pretty sure Dr Foul-Up took the lidocaine himself and gave me a saline solution, because the "anesthesia" had no effect: The pain of the procedure was hair-raising, and his only response to my screams was to shout to his nurse to "Hold him down, Goddamnit!" Afterwards, my cajones swelled up like a rhino's and nothing--not even the proverbial bag of frozen peas--offered any relief from the pain. Long story short: From the trauma of that "surgery," I developed Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, a chronically painful disorder of involving my sympathetic nerve system, in which everything is all pain all the time. Even sensations that once were pleasurable are excruciatingly painful. Needless to say, any sort of conjugal relations with my wife became impossible. I have to grit my teeth just to cuddle. Even wearing clothes can be excruciating. So I FEEL this song. And if it makes you think about bringing home a bouquet of flowers to your lovely wife, DO THAT ... FOR ME!

One thing I love best about this channel is watching someone of any age, any race, any nationality or any gender falling in love for the first time with the music I've loved for decades. The other thing I love is knowing what's coming, (like LOOOOOOOOOOVE), knowing Jamel has NO idea what's coming, and wondering what his reaction will be. Thanks so much for this channel.

"Freedom" - Richie Havens, Woodstock will knock your socks off.

This is from the Band's second 'Rock Opera' Album called 'Quadrophenia' released in 1973. The whole album is a fantastic listen from start to finish, especially '5.15 and the 'The Punk and The Godfather' Enjoy.....

Jamel_AKA_Jamal: Who says that? The Who: Yes.

Poured his heart out. I do believe he got his point across. Glad you got to this one. 👍👍👍

A complete masterpiece of a song! Gotta be Daltrey’s best vocal!!

When The Who stopped catering to music trends and discovered their sound, they were on another level.

With every new video you post, I just wanna hang out with you even more! I would dig having a listening party with you. Your honest & heartfelt reactions along with your incredibly keen ear & open mind is a gift to all of us watching. Thank you man. Stay gold!

"You walk up to a girl and say that today and they won't respect that." Well, if you pick the right girl...

Pete Townsend is an amazing musician. He can play just about anything!

You HAVE to listen to this whole album, beginning to end, nonstop. It's one of my all time favorites and right up there with Dark Side of the moon. This song is the perfect closer to a great album.

From the "The Who" Rock Opera "Quadraphenia". These albums need to be heard in their entirety. Weren't meant to hear piecemeal.

This is one of the 3 best songs I've heard in 70 years old life. So emotional. And is the best bridge.

6 years ago my Brother-in-law suffered a massive stroke in the early hours of Christmas day. 2 days later he passed, leaving my sister a widow at 35 and my 2 year old niece without a dad. He was a huge fan of The Who, and this was played at his cremation. It's one of my favourite songs, and every time I hear it I'm in pieces. But it also reminds me of great times and of a great man. R.I.P Neil, never forgotten. Love u bro

Roger Daltrey one of the greatest voices in music. I can't wait for the 5:15 and The Real Me reactions. Quadrophenia has so many great songs, Dr. Jimmy and Mr. Jim, Bellboy, The Punk vs The Godfather, Drowned.

Next Who song should be "5:15." It's chock full of goodness.

Beautifully emotional. Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whew, I need a few minutes to breathe..................

"Can't Find My Home" - Steve Winwood ~ "Carry On" - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

The drum that sounds like “thunder” is called a Tympani.

O'er is poetic for "over". It's in the national anthem: "... 'o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave." This is a great one from The Who.

"too busy twerking and taking selfies! haha I love you man, you crack me up

Jamal I love that you STILL get her flowers after 15 yrs. She's a lucky lady.

This was a classic the moment it was released back in '73...

Daltrey was the voice for a generation of out-cast rebels of summer youths. Townshend wrote them but Daltrey's voice had all the anger, angst and raw emotion to send it all over. What a duo.

This song was absolutely KILLER live. That concert was one of the best experiences I ever had.

When you find your true love and your away from her... this is the song! GOD bless you brother.

" Beach kiss the sea...Who says that?" Yes, yes they did!

One of their finest....The Who was always on the turntable back in that glorious day Jamal...I miss them days.......many thanks✌🇺🇸❤⚡☔💃

Roger's greatest vocal performance right there. Beautifully written by Pete.

That song is like a symphony, constructed like classical music. The Who knew how to do that. If you get the chance, listen to (or watch) "Tommy" and "Quadrophenia", their two "rock operas". The term was coined for them. I loved your reaction to this one, you got the emotion.

Heeheeheehee... to this day him screaming "LOOOOOOOOOOOVE" rises in my consciousness again & again. Thanks for a great reaction!

“Blew me out of the damn screen!” Imagine what it was like for me seeing them live!😜

' In for a ride" ... hell yeah! That song is a piece of art in a musical gallery.

Roger's best vocal - absolutely fantastic performance! Brilliantly played by all...superb lyrics....this track has it ALL!

Jamel, it is so incredible how you connect to the music. You are amazing. Thank for the reaction. Listen to "Emminence Front" by the Who. It is mesmerizing.

The amazing power of Roger Daltrey's voice and Pete Townshend's guitar coupled with their incredible songwriting, is just magic.

The live version of The Who’s “Young Man Blues”. That’s my all-time favorite live Who performance.

The Who, Live at Leeds. have to see a good live one.

Pearl Jam does an incredible cover of this VH1 Rock Honors: The Who from like 2007

dude I heard this song live and cried my eyes out. It was like two years ago and the first time I got to see them (first time they came to Argentina). I love this song and The Who is my favourite band. I'm happy that you appreciated it 🙏

This is the correct reaction to this song. Thank you.

One of the best songs ever recorded. Now go Listen to my Generation from the who Live at Leeds

One of the greatest of theirs and they have many contenders. Don't forget My Generation for the introduction of bass for your face, Thunderfingingers John The Ox Entwistle. He barely moves anything but his fingers while onstage, but does he ever move them.

There's nothing wrong with not knowing the band singing the song--that's where the fun and joy is, discovering the bands and going down those rabbit holes with tons of glorious music to listen to. And you do it so well! Thanks for sharing your discoveries with us Jamel :)

"Next time I buy my wife flowers and she asks why..." awesome reply.

"O'er" is the poetic contraction of "over" making it one syllable. This is done so as to not mess up the meter of the verse. The word "over" is "trochaic", that is, the stress is on the first syllable. The opposite of "iambic" where the stress is on the second syllable.

Oh yah, Roger is sangin his ass off on this one ! Epic piece of music that grabs your attention the minute it starts. If you give "the real me" a listen you'll have a similar recation.

Perhaps my favorite moment in Who history was the night in October 2001 when The Who performed at The Concert for New York City after the hideous 9/11 attacks. They absolutely raised the roof off of Madison Square Garden that night as all the first responders smiled and partied for the first time in a long time. When this coronavirus catastrophe is over I think we will see a charity concert that will top Live Aid and I fully expect The Who to be there once again bringing a smile to my face as they have done so many times over the decades!

This is one of my generations anthems.

So beautiful! Do MY GENERATION - The Who's 1st breakthrough song, featuring Roger's infamous stutter-singing, and John Entwhistle's badass bass solos! Pete & Keith too, they all tear it up!

Yes, yes, yes!!!! Jamel Reign O’er The Who!!!! Lol Roger Daltry’s voice blew you back! Told ya! Thanks for that Jamel- just an awesome reaction. Like others are saying, 5:15 next

You sir, are a joy to behold.

Bettye Lavette’s performance at the Kennedy Centre honours, honouring The Who, superb cover!!

One of the top tracks on Quadrophenia. One of their greatest albums and a great story about English youth and "mods" in the early 1960's. Coincidentally watched the movie last night. Great.

Awesome song. Love it. Thanks for your reaction to this.

This album got me through my young adult years.

I saw the Who in concert prepandemic in May 2019, they came out with a 40 pc. orchestra and at 70+ years of age they blew the doors off the place!! Played about 3:45 hours and I still can't believe how good they are!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm glad you finally got to this one. It's one that everyone should listen to.

From my liner notes with this album,Pete Townshend states.. : "(Love, Reign O'er Me) refers to Meher Baba's one-time comment that rain was a blessing from God; that thunder was God's Voice. It's another plea to drown, only this time in the rain. Jimmy goes through a suicide crisis. He takes a boat out to a rock.... He surrenders to the inevitable, and you know, you know, when it's over and he goes back to town he'll be going through the same shit, being in the same terrible family situation and so on, but he's moved up a level. He's weak still, but there's a strength in that weakness. He's in danger of maturing."

One of the greatest rock songs of all time ! Just amazing vocals by Roger Daltrey

With out a doubt The Who had the most skilled musicians and showmen of their time. Nobody could touch their live performances.

Pearl Jam’s cover of this song is amazing as well! Highly recommend that listen

Should hear it live. Lord Rog. The Who one of my top 3 bands. Roger Daltrey voice is still on it at 76. RIP Moonie and Ox

Thanks again for your labor of love!!! These old classic songs are a time machine, I can remember all my feelings and emotions I felt at that age!!!

I was riding home late on the evening of 12/8/80 and this song was on the radio. When it ended, there was a silent moment... then the DJ told us what had happened in New York City, outside of The Dakota. I'll never forget that moment...

Jamel, love watching your reactions. You can see now when us oldies say we had the best music we mean it. Great to see the younger generation appreciating Classic rock. Regards from the UK. Stay safe.

"Can't explain" is a short song, but you're guaranteed to love every millisecond of it!

THE MIGHTY WHO They always put it out there with everything they had... Roger had some pipes for sure!

Dude you're hilarious! A little known fact about LRO'er Me. The Who were known in the early days for smashing their instruments. At the very end of this song the drummer (Keith Moon) smashes his drum kit and that's what makes all the crashing noises.

This song is so beautiful, and really showcases Roger Daltrey's vocal ability. Thank you so much for the reaction, and for listening to us wise viewers. 🎶❤️😎

This has always been one of my favorite songs by The Who. They performed it during the Super Bowl halftime show several years ago. Although Roger Daltrey's voice seemed somewhat strained in that live performance, it remains one of my favorite halftime shows.

just think next year we celebrate 50 years of its release and this year it's 50th year since completion... by far my favorite album ever: great reaction as always!

The Who are one of the very few bands that can take you somewhere with their music

Pearl Jam did an amazing cover of this one!
