Cary Elwes recommended Before I Get Old: The Story of the Who in Books (curated)

 
Before I Get Old: The Story of the Who
Before I Get Old: The Story of the Who
Dave Marsh | 2015 | Biography
(0 Ratings)
Book Favorite

"There have been many biographies about The Who but this one is almost as entertaining as the group it documents. Dave Marsh, who was a founding editor at Creem magazine and an editor at Rolling Stone, writes as an unashamed fan of the band. No other writer, with the exception of Richard Barnes, has ever really understood The Who the way Marsh did with this work. In Before I Get Old the author analyzes their roots in "Mod" culture to their development into "the first avant-garde rock band". As a biography it is valuable piece of rock-music history."

Album Rating
Rolling Stone's 226th greatest album of all time
More turgid cringeworthy rock from Springsteen. This album was recorded by him alone as demos but they decided to release the demos rather than the intended full band rock versions of the songs. This gives the album a folkier feel, and it does stand out from his other work, but it is still unmistakably him.
