The Who Sell Out - The Who

This is the first "Concept Album" from The Who, it was released in 1968 and reissued, remastered in 1995 with additional material. The Album follows a day in the life of a radio broadcast complete with fake ads and jingles. Some of the tracks like Odorono and Medac are even written about fake products. The stand out track is "I Can See For Miles" but the album is chock full of jangly "radio friendly" pop songs. MaryAnne With The Shaky Hands is pure sixties with a bit of a folky Beach Boy sound, and for the romantic at heart there is Our Love Was and I Can't Reach You. This is an opportunity to acquaint yourself with one of the more unusual offerings from The Who.

Hey, I was going to pick that....oh well, I guess it will have to be Silas Stingy for me please (although the album overall is a bit monotone for my liking)
