UK Number 40s: The Who - Athena (1982)

 


The Who are a band that need to introduction. Quite surprisingly though they aren't a band who have also had a number one and are one of the biggest bands never to top the charts.

They made their debut in 1965 and had at least one Top 40 hit up to 1973. They'd have just 4 more original Top 40 hits after 1973 with this being the final one.

Original drummer Keith Moon had died 4 years earlier and the band themselves were on the verge of splitting up, they did a farewell tour around the same time this record came out and called it a day in 1983, although they have reunited many times ever since and even recorded new material.

It was the only single from the album "It's Hard" to chart in the UK.
