There are 3 ?? Pins with WHO content, but No real WHO band pin.
Tommy is based on the Broadway Musical adaptation.
Wizard is based on Tommy Film
Elton John is based on the Tommy Film.
No Quadrophenia, no Who's Next, no Who Are You, no Who By Numbers or pre Tommy hits.
As a WHO maniac, I want a RUSH style pin encompassing thier whole career.
The ONLY Ramones certification was in 2014, the debut album after 40 years finally made GOLD. 500, 000.
For comparison....Van Halen 1 was certified GOLD after 3 months of release may 1978.
Platinum in October 78.
Now VH 1 is Diamond + 15 million.
I think Edward and the boys were a touch more influential.
Ramones are good though.
