The Who: The Story of the Who
Barbara Charone, Sounds, 2 October 1976
IT'S NO accident that the most successful Punk Rock bands include at least one Who song in their act. Eddie And The Hot Rods do an admirable recreation of 'The Kids Are Alright' while Sex Pistols arrogantly spit out 'Substitute' to deafening accompaniment. In between green hair, airfix, rolled up jeans, blase poses and safety pins, there is ample room for the Who in every punk mentality. This is no accident.
