Here's my Top 10 by THE WHO. Please vote for your favorite.

[NightTrain]

[GCP]

1. Won't get Fooled Again

"Meet the new boss - same as the old boss" - so true and so timeless.

[Inland]

2. Toss all those out, buy "Quadrophenia" and call it a day.

[the Princess]

12. I agree

QUADROPHENIA!! The best they ever did!!

On the dry and dusty road
the nights we spent apart alone
I need to get back home to cool cool rain

I can't sleep and I lay and I think
the night is hot and black as ink
Ooooo God I need a drink of cool cool rain

Love Reign O'er Me.

It gives me chills every freaking time.

[5thGenDemocrat]

44. Another vote (non-vote) for Quadrophenia

And, since "Love, Reign O'er Me" is already taken, I'll put in my two cents for "5:15".
John
But it's all good. I've owned Q on album (two copies -- both with the booklet), eight-track, cassette tape, CD and MP3. In almost thirty years, I've never gotten tired of it.

[GOPisEvil]

3. I've always liked "The Seeker".

But I like every song on your list. I can't decide!

[flamingyouth]

4. Run Run Run

It's not on your list, but it's my favorite.

[supernova]

5. Pictures of Lily

has always been my favorite. You don't hear it on the radio anymore, :-(

[the Princess]

13. Do you know what that song is about?? LOL

That may be the reason you don't hear it on the radio anymore. LMAO

[Crunchy Frog]

30. Yup, playing that song on the radio

might make people start breaking out in hairy palms.:evilgrin:

[the Princess]

32. LOL

Especially now that the fundies are in charge.

[kedrys]

56. Which is why I liked it in the first place. :P n/t

[Radical Activist]

6. I was just listening to Whos next earlier today

Of those on the list I like Won't Get Fooled Again the best.
I still think Keith Moon was the best drummer in rock.

[Crunchy Frog]

8. Hey, you and I agree on something!

Keith Moon rocks!:toast:

[Radical Activist]

16. woohoo!

I've never seen "clinical depression" listed as a hobby...funny. :)
:toast:

[Crunchy Frog]

42. Well, it's what I do.

Sometimes laughing about it is the only way to approach it without letting it completely demolish you. :shrug:

[wysi]

11. I spent...

... one whole summer learning to copy Moon's style (never got it quite right of course but I could bash away pretty good) and it ruined my drumming forever! No one could match Keith Moon - but he would have sounded pretty crap without Entwhistle and Townshend (PT once explained that the Who inverted the standard roles of the instruments in most rock bands, with the 'rhythym section' taking leads and the guitar anchoring the 'bottom end').

[Radical Activist]

14. That's why

I don't have any interest in seeing "the Who" now that the entire rythm section is dead. They were incredible. Perfect ADD music.

[the Princess]

17. Moonie

Best drummer that ever lived. *sigh*

[Crunchy Frog]

25. Yep, agree with you on that.

If I ever have a son, I'm naming him Keith by the way.

[Cursive_Knives512]

20. Keith Moon was DEFINITELY the best

And some say that Melissa York of The Butchies is the new Keith Moon, without the drugs. :shrug: I don't think she's that good, but she's still awesome.

[Radical Activist]

21. Can you be that good without the drugs?

I mean, can any human being drum that fast on a regular basis without being on some kind of drugs? Maybe I'm wrong and he was better/faster without the drugs.

I've never heard of the Butchies. I'll check em out.

[wysi]

7. How about...

... 'A Quick One' off the Kids are Alright soundtrack?

or...

... 'Water' off Isle of Wight, or...

Ah, too many to mention! :-)

[johnnie]

47. My band does A quick one once in a while

It's always fun to do that one for the hell of it.

[wysi]

54. If I still had a band...

... I would lobby for this one. I think the amps would have to go to 11 for the desired effect.

[The Great Escape]

9. No Baba O'Reilly...Guess I'll Vote For "My Generation"

[frictionlessO]

10. I know! No Baba, almost meant no vote!

[Left Is Write]

48. Yeah, me too. I'm not a really big Who fan, but I've always loved

Baba O'Reilly.

Back in the olden days when I was in school, a bunch of us used to gather in the smoking lounge before school for a cigarette. One of the gym teachers liked to sing to us as he ran by on the adjacent track...and that's what he sang.

[KitchenWitch]

55. Baba!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bobthedrummer]

15. "Magic Bus"...n/t

[jonnyblitz]

29. I second that one. n/t

[CrownPrinceBandar]

18. My 10............................

1) Won't Get Fooled Again
2) The Relay
3) 905
4) Athena
5) Slip Kid
6) Naked Eye
7) The Seeker
8) 5:15
9) Eminence Front
10) Happy Jack

[bobweaver]

19. I can't believe you didn't include "Behind Blue Eyes" in the poll...

[njdemocrat106]

22. "Punk and the Godfather" from Quadrophenia

What about "We're Not Gonna Take It" from Tommy? I've always liked "Face the Face" from Pete Townshend's "White City" album too.

[catbert836]

23. No Baba O'Reilly,

so I'll vote for "Won't Get Fooled Again"
Don't cry, don't raise your eye, its only teenage wasteland..

[RevolutionaryActs]

53. That was my first thought!

[HEyHEY]

24. Almost all of those are off Meaty beaty big and bouncy

My fav is "A quick one"

[NightTrain]

26. Well, that is my favorite Who album.

So your observation makes sense, HH! :hi:

[Devil Dog Dem]

27. I'd put "Relay" and "Naked Eye" way ahead of "Pictures of Lilly" . . .

or "I'm a Boy."

[Crunchy Frog]

28. Substitute.

I love almost all of their stuff, but that one has always been a particular favorite of mine.

I really like alot of their earlier stuff. Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere is another favorite, not on the list.

And of course, I just adore Keith Moon.

[JimmyJazz]

31. Anything from Quad

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

35. Partial to "The Real Me". Just the opening guitar hook alone...

And of course, "5:15".

I've liked "Bellboy" more over the years because, well, life is like that.

Really liked the film.

[JimmyJazz]

36. Dr. Jimmy, Can you see the real me, Love Reign o'er me... great,

great l.p.

And a great movie!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

38. My fried egg makes me sick first thing in the morning!

[Zomby Woof]

33. My Wife

John Entwistle's best, on the album of much of Pete's best.

[enigmatic]

34. The live "A Quick One" from The Rolling Stones Rock N Roll Circus..

More punk then The Sex Pistols ever came close to; far and away my favorite Who song...

[Devil Dog Dem]

45. A great song!

Under appreciated.

[mac56]

37. "Substitute"

I've always wanted to hear Elvis Costello cover it.

[Norbert]

39. Mary Anne with the Shakey Hand

What they done to a man,
with those sha-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-key hand.

Actually I voted for I Can See for Miles.

[GOPisEvil]

40. Oh yeah - fuck you, Hummer, for ruining "Happy Jack"!

Bastards! :grr:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

41. Yes. Now Happy Jack is an obnoxious yuppie shit steamrolling people

in his giant Humvee.

[Scurrilous]

43. Substitute...

...first song they played when I saw them in concert in '76. :thumbsup:

[longlivebigdog]

46. Baba O'Riely? Athena? (nt)

[johnnie]

49. On your list "The kids are alright"

My favorite is probably "The Real Me". All four of them kick ass on that song.

[wysi]

52. I had forgotten...

... that one (hadn't heard Quad in ages), Ox was particularly good, wasn't he? I love the last verse when Pete is (don't know the technical term but I could play it) playing the 'double-time' riff.

For my money the best pure Rock group EVER.

[General Zod]

50. I Can See For Miles is by far the best thing they've ever done.

To me,it has the most ominous opening to any rock song in history.

[faithfull]

51. Can't I just vote for Keith Moon...for everything...

...ever...


What about "A quick one?!"

The video of that song from the Stone's Rock n Roll Circus is the greatest piece of rock footage ever shot!
