Re: Artistic/Musical Peaks for Each Who member

[James L Jackson <jacksonj@battelle.org>]

Hi all 'oo fans,
          
   With all this talk about Pete's creative peak (so to speak), I thought
I'd throw out a related question.  I don't think this has been discussed 
before, except perhaps with regard to Keith Moon.
   At what time during the life of the Who were each of the members at
their artistic and/or musical peak?  For my part, I think that the Pete of 
1970-73, Roger of 1975-78, John of 1969 and the Keith of 1971 would make a 
great "dreamteam", as it were :)  Or, if you like, the Pete of LAL thru 
Quad, the Roger of WBN-WAY, John of Tommy and Keith from Who's Next. 
Whatever.  Any thoughts?

          Sure, I have some thoughts.  For one, I don't think 
          Entwistle has ever peaked (that is, reached a zenith and 
          then began a noticeable decline).  The man is pure talent.  
          For the rest, I think the individuals' peaks coincided with 
          their group peak: The Who Sellout through Quadrophenia.  I 
          have a hard separating the members from this output during 
          this era.
