The quintessential Mod band, notorious for their theatricality and destructiveness on stage, The Who rate alongside the Beatles, Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones as one of the most successful and innovative rock bands of the sixties and seventies, who captured the voice of youth. Following on from the successful Led Zeppelin Revealed and Pink Floyd Revealed, this new, glossy, visually stimulating coffee-table book covers all the major events in their 20-year career accompanied by revealing and evocative images.

Now, I never really expect all that much from this sort of thing. You don't need much for it to work. You collect a bunch of cool pictures, throw together a not super in-depth overview of the band's history, grab some quotes and interview snippets, maybe include a small interesting story or two, indulge in a little nostalgia about their discography, and you're done. It doesn't have to be deathless prose or anything.
Honestly, it's a pretty low bar. And yet, I fear this one doesn't manage to clear it. There are lots of pictures, but not one of them comes with a caption. Which, OK, is often not really needed, but it would be nice to have a little context for at least some of them. There's no quotes or interviews and very little commentary. And when it comes to the actual history of the band and the many interesting and often disturbing stories to be told about them, well, those things are not so much "revealed" as "vaguely alluded to."
Oh, well, at least I got it cheap. ( )
