Line 246:
* [[The Stoic]]: John Entwistle played this role within [[The Who]], usually not moving too much and keeping a straight face to contrast with the other members' wild antics. It's really only ''comparatively'', though; he had his fair share of crazy moments, including sometimes joining the others in the onstage instrument-destroying.
** "Comparatively" is right. It's odd that you can be described as the low-key member of the group while performing an entire concert in a '''''leather''' Halloween skeleton costume''.
** Special mention should be made to his outfit from the Monterey Pop Festival. He's not [[Monterey Pop|on screen]] much, but when you see him, it's like getting hit with a psychedelic neon club.
* [[Subdued Section]]: "You Better You Bet" among others
* [[Three Chords and the Truth]]: Especially in the early period, to the extent that many of the early punk bands cited the Who as their prime inspiration. (The [[Sex Pistols]] and [[The Ramones]] ''both'' recorded covers of "Substitute".) In a bump recorded for ''Little Steven's Underground Garage'', Townshend quips "Wanna see a magic trick? Look what I can do with only three chords!"
