GQ Man of the Year 2013: Who Else? Roger Daltrey!
“There are two sides to the Who,” writes Brett Leppard in this month’s edition of GQ, “both equally valid but often at war with one another. While Pete Townshend freely admits to overthinking every element of his life, Daltrey is one of life’s doers – and all the better for it. He remains one of the best rock frontman: a man of passion, force and formidable charisma………. At 69, he remains the benchmark by which all future frontmen will be measured.”
According to lifelong fan Jeremy Clarkson (in the new issue of GQ), “Everybody should be forced to go and see The Who before they’re allowed to pick up a microphone.”

Everybody should be forced to go and see The Who before they’re allowed to pick up a microphone
A wise saying!
all well said words.
Roger Daltrey est la voix de The Who, il chante avec ses trippes et son cœur.j’ai eu l’occasion de voir the Who en concert quelques fois et je n’ai jamais été deçu, bien au contraire, ils m’ont fait avançer dans la vie….Longue vie à Roger et à Pete !

Nice one Roger! Effortless, except when on stage you give it your all.
Mr. Daltrey is THE MOST good-looking guy in this world and he’s got THE GREATEST voice as well. The more he gets old, the more his voice gets stronger and deeper! The happiest thing in my life is to be able to listen to his gorgeous singing voices while I’m alive!
Mr. Daltrey is a singer who has THE MOST powerful and sensitive voice in this world. So many people have been saved by his singing voice. Keep on singing and keep on doing what you’ve been doing!
Congratulations!!! Mr. Daltrey, you really deserve the award! I’ve been sick since the end of the year 2011 and I’m hospitalized now (along with my PC to read this sight and listen to The Who songs. Smile). The Who songs and your voice really encourage me! I’ll follow you to conquer the disease and climb the highest mountain some day.
