CSI
They is no mention of the CSI version in this article. Should it be made?

Date of "Who Are You" single
I accidentally hit "revert" rather than "undo" on the last edit. Nonetheless, the last edit was clearly wrong, showing "1975" as the date of the "Who Are You?" single. -- RobLa (talk) 22:59, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

SOMETHING WEIRD...
If you look at the drummer Keith Moon on the album cover, the one sitting on the chair, the chair says : Not to be taken away. this album was released August, 1978. Keith Moon died from accidental overdose, September 7, 1978.

the above was added in the article please fit this into the article i disagree with this being put in like this how ever it seems like a interesting detail —Preceding unsigned comment added by Weaponbb7 (talk • contribs) 00:47, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Fuck?
Was this the first pop song to have the word "fuck" in it?

I think there was a quote in this song that went "ahhh... who the fuck are you?".

Is it a mondegreen, or was the first song to say fuck before or after this? --Boxstaa (talk) 21:15, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

It's not even the first song by the Who to contain the word. Young Man Blues from Live at Leeds released eight years prior contains the lyric "sweet fuck all". There were plenty of songs with the word. Working Class Hero by John Lennon in 1970, at least one Sex Pistols song, "Bodies" (which contains the word five times in one line), the MC5 back in 1968 sang "Kick Out the Jams, motherfuckers"...for that matter there was a group in the 60s CALLED the Motherfuckers...these are all off the top of my head without an ounce of research. So just a little bit of research would probably uncover a TON of songs. Oh yeah, and "Show Biz Kids" by Steely Dan, circa '73 I believe. 1978 wasn't such an innocent time, the word was pretty commonplace in most media by then, maybe not TV or radio, but everything else.


 * Jefferson Airplane "We Can Be Together", so I will do it. It came before most of the above. Recorded in 1969, on the Volunteers album, and played live uncensored on the Dick Cavett show August 19, 1969. YOu can find the lyrics easily so I don't need to mention them here, but both fuck and motherfuckers were repeated.  This was around a time when Ringo Starr was criticized for saying 'crap' in an interview.

"the two major camps of rock"
Progressive rock and punk rock? This is a silly oversimplification. I can see how punk might have been considered a "camp," but prog rock had for the most part ceased to be a commercial force by 1978. There's was a lot going on in the 1970s that had little to do with prog. Unless this can be sourced and put in context, it really should be rewritten.  &middot; rodii &middot;  03:47, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Move request
Please change the title of the article to Who Are You (album) to avoid confusion with the song of the same name that is on the album. Globbett (Spl4t Sh3rm4n) 11:47, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
