PEOPLE TRY TO PUT US D-DOWN
Why do they do that?
Is it just because you get around?
that song should be considered protopunk imo

I always thought it was.
At least I considered it that.

The Who are definitely considered protopunk. Maybe not by name but everyone appreciates them that way in the UK anyway

If there were no Who, there would be no Clash or Sex Pistols.
If there were no Mods, there would be no Skinheads or Punk Rockers.

What are some essential The Who albums? I really like protopunk.
>>60471449
Find some live shows instead, that's the point really
>>60471075
I wish we had some Mods
>>60471505

>>60471075
Some of the best early britpunk bands were pretty much mods, i.e. The Jam

For the protopunk/Maximum RnB style, anything before Tommy (although Townsend was getting more ambitious on A Quick One).

But as the other guy said, check out their live performances. No album can ever really capture the energy and spontaneity they showed playing live.

You could say they were the first noise rockers, too.
No one, not even the Velvets, MC5, Stooges, etc, were experimenting around with feedback like this in 1966.
Start at 6:00, and turn it up loud :^).
