PETE TOWNSHEND - Empty Glass (Released April 21, 1980 - Atco)

Nothing left to say about one of the greatest british bands ever, The Who. Consisting of Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, Keith Moon and John Entwistle the band released 11 studio albums and have sold about 100 millions records but apart from the band each member have pursued his own musical career. Today we will talk about the most successful release by guitarist Pete Townshend...
Empty Glass was released in 1980 reaching an impressive USA # 5. Three singles were released Let My Love Open The Door (Billboard # 9), Rough Boys (Billboard # 89) and A Little Is Enough (Billboard # 72). The vibe in this album it's too close to The Who so Roger Daltrey claimed that would have been a good album for the band.
Empty Glass could be described as a concept album turning around the idea that you can reach God when your heart is empty.
With the pass of years Let My Love Open The Door has become an iconic tune being used in                                                                                               many TV series and films like Look Who's Talking                                                                                         Now, Mr Deeds and Jerry Maguire.
