Who here got me to relisten to the Who?

[Taverner]

Someone here posted something about the Who - and now I'm listening to all their stuff over again...and I never liked the Who much.

But for some reason, the music just fits the day, especially "The Seeker"

1. Never did like Seeker

Hell, Boris the Spider is better than that one, :D

I'll take Eminence Front.

2. my favorite song by the who

whenever I feel down I get out "The Who Live at Leeds".
I play the side with the 14 1/2 minute version of "My Generation" and "Magic Bus". I play it loud and for some reason it always cheers me. I think I will play it now.

3. The Problem With The Who

is that the hook-lines are repeated ad nauseam in practically all their songs. Think about it.

Not that other songwriters aren't guilty of this, but I can't think of any major acts whose songs follow this formula to such an infinite degree.

4. I agree, and usually I don't like the Who

But it's been a day full of angst and rage for myself, and a lot of people around me...so the Who fits perfectly into that mood.

6. might be me and Colo Dem

both of us posted Who threads. I have been relistening to their stuff in the car. I always liked them, esp. Pete, and my so pulled out Rough Mix ( solo Pete with Ronnie Lane) and it is really good. I prefer the older mod stuff, but the bombastic and emotional stuff can be really good if you are in the mood. Plus great guitar and drums. I like how emotional Pete's lyrics are.

5. Ahhhh the Who!

I don't listen to their recorded music very much, but they put on one hell of a live show. I had only seen a concert tape of the wild Who on stage, but I finally saw them live about six years ago. I was expecting old gays that were a pale image of the great band they had once been. I sure was wrong. They were still wild on stage, and it is easily one of the best concerts I've been to.
