Eminence Front

Hey, do you remember this song by The Who? It's one of their classics entitled Eminence Front. It's one of those songs where the lyrics make absolutely no sense but the music is absolutely amazing. I feel it's time this song makes my blog so here it is. Now you may not recognize the name of the song, but I am confident you've heard this song somewhere. It's just that popular.

Eminence Front was on the 1982 album It's Hard, and while it wasn't the album's biggest chart topper, that title is held by Athena, Eminence Front is by far the album's most popular. It's also the biggest money maker. This song has been used in commercials, TV shows, movies and everything else you can possibly imagine. Why, you ask? Because it's so damn funky, seriously.

Throw this puppy on your big boy speakers and see if I'm incorrect about that. Listen to the first two minutes of the song without Daltrey's warbling and then judge, funky, or not? I say funky indeed (but you know that already, didn't you?). Enjoy!
