[QUOTE=lunch998]I was never in love with, though I do like Slip Kid.[/QUOTE]

It's not their best, Daltrey's voice wasn't in top form, Townsend was always drunk or stoned or worse, and Moon's drumming was beginning to decline. Entwhistle is always great though.

I think the lyrics are the strongest point though. It is not a rock opera but some songs are extremely personal like However Much I Booze and How Many Friends. You have to listen to it in context and not compare it to the Who's best stuff. Judge it by itself.

I almost always prefer the earlier Who to the later Who, but as I said in this thread a few days ago the arena-rock Who is somewhat growing on me.

[QUOTE=lunch998]I've become everything I've ever hated.[/QUOTE]

how unfortunate.

[QUOTE=Canadian_Guy]That's a classic song:)


Does anyone like the Beach Boys? I love them.[/QUOTE]

I really like the Beach Boys. I've got a couple of their albums, and a few of their Greatest Hits albums. I actually own 3 of their greatest hits albums (2 vinyl, 1 cd)...which is really more Greatest Hits than anyone should need. But they are a great band. I really adore their vocal melodies and harmonies, in terms of actual musicianship they really aren't that impressive. I wish they made some psychedelic albums, Pet Sounds was the closest they came. I know Brian Wilson did acid.

We still love you. And don't worry. it's still The Who you're listening to.

hey im new here. I love the Who! They've been my favorite band since 5th grade (im 14 now). I love most of their songs. My Holy Trinity of classic rock is the who, the doors, and the rolling stones.

This is true, I could sink much lower.

I don't even want to think about that.

/goes to listen to the arena-rock Who, and it very grateful for it.

Whoa, let's not say anything we're going to regret here.

haha :lol: lets face it the who are just plain good.

Just plain very good.

I just listened to Behind Blue Eyes, Won't Get Fooled Again, Love Reign O'er Me, and Who Are You. They all rule. Don't worry.

/is listening to Going Mobile.

[QUOTE=magicbus]I just listened to Behind Blue Eyes, Won't Get Fooled Again, Love Reign O'er Me, and Who Are You. They all rule. Don't worry.[/QUOTE]

I never saw the greatness in Behind Blue Eyes or Who Are You. However, Won't Get Fooled Again makes up for all that and much more with its awesomeness.

But seriously, enough of this arena rock.

/listens to Cobwebs and Strange.

Who Are You is a pretty weak song compared to other Who standards.

pfft who are you is awesome you fools.

The best thing about "Who Are You" is the drum fills.

You've got love the power of daltry's voice and the synth and the clapping (and the hi-hat intro)

[QUOTE=Badmoon]The best thing about "Who Are You" is the drum fills.[/QUOTE]

Which is also the best/only good thing about Cobwebs and Strange.

id say

If I want that I listen to Eminence Front, as it dominates most other late-Who material.

do you guys play many zepplin songs? like babe im gunu leave you, i kinda find that hard to play

I can play Babe I'm Gonna Leave You. The hardest part is the finger picking, but keep trying and you'll get it. :thumb:

I think I'm going to put on Who's Next in a few minutes.....
