There
are two sides to the Who, both equally valid but often at war with one another.
While Pete Townshend freely admits to overthinking every element of his life,
Daltrey is one of life's doers - and all the better for it. He remains one of
the best rock frontman: a man of passion, force and formidable charisma. He is
an Icon who wears the title lightly - in recent years when he's not been
recording dynamite tracks like "Black Widow's Eyes" he's been working
tirelessly on the Teenage Cancer Trust concerts. This year he's toured
Quadrophenia + More (no, not on a moped) and we can't wait to hear the
definitive version of rock opera Tommy due out in November. At 69, he remains
the benchmark by which all future frontmen will be measured. As lifelong fan
Jeremy Clarkson explains in our new issue: "Everybody should be forced to
go and see the Who before they're allowed to pick up a microphone."
