Directed by: Paul Crowder, Murray Lerner Amazing Journey: The Story Of The Who is every bit as flashy, modish, raucous and cool as the band it explores. An impressive mix of archival footage, celebrity commentary and new interviews, the film is a visual, substantial and musical treat. Chronicling everything from the members' loosely...

The Who — Endless Wire

in
By James Simons (CHARTattack) November 7, 2006 8:06 pm
The Who's career in 150 words or less: Roger Daltrey sings, "Hope I die before I get old," clearly unaware of the joys of prostate exams, Rock And Roll Hal Of Fame inductions and boomer-boner-inducing reunion tours.

Thrice are returning with a new record dubbed Major/Minor on Sept. 20.
