The Who Sell Out is a very underrated and important album for The Who, innovative in its union of pop art and commercials.
It’s one of my favorite Who albums. It was done because our government was getting rid of our music, which was the pirate radio stations that we’d been raised on for the last five years, from ’63 through to ’67. It was really done as a tribute to those ships that used to beam that wonderful music. When you listen to the album, although we are one band playing the music, it sounds exactly like a pirate radio show with the jingles. To me (laughing), it still sounds a lot better than modern radio.
