Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - Bluesman Mike Lindner - 04-12-2004
[Ken, you'll find WHO'S NEXT at any halfway decent music store, but make sure you get the expanded version with an extra CD of a contemporaneous concert by the (ahem) lads. God, could they rock. I only saw the Who live once, at the Buffalo War Memorial in 1975 (opening act: Toots and the Maytalls!), but jeez... still among my fondest concert memories. What other band could open the show with their =first single= ("I Can't Explain"), get the crowd on their feet, and lift matters to a higher plane from there? Mercy!

Well done, Biggles. You rock! But now for a tougher one... In which Who songs does the title of the tune =not= appear in the lyrics? (Instrumentals don't count, blast yer warty hide...)

That's true, Jimbow. But unlike Plant, Pete usually kept his mind on his work.

Mercy!Ken, beware of any cut of Won't Get Fooled Again that actually says "Extended Cut." I bought a greatest hits entitled Who's Better, Who's Best which says "Extended Cut" but is actually only about 3:30 min instead of the normal 7:00min -ish (?) album version. That pissed me off immensely when I first bought it. I wound up buying [U]Who's Next[/U] later anyway.

Sounds like typical record company idiocy, Jimbow. I'd try to count up Who compilations since MEATY BEATY BIG AND BOUNCY, but life is short and I grow old. Is there another band whose catalog has been recycled as relentlessly as the Who's? The Beach Boys, maybe?

I don't believe "Baba O'Riley" is ever mentioned in said song. "Quadrophenia" is not entirely instrumental, is it? I'll have to think on others. How many are there?

Ken - doesn't get out much - V.
"Who's Next" is like "Dark Side of the Moon" and "Aqualung"..any record, sorry music, store (forgot myself there) that doesn't always have it in stock doesn't deserve your business.

[QUAD is an opera like TOMMY. Many good songs, some instrumentals. As to how many Who songs don't have the title in the actual lyrics...well, Biggles, I'm not sure myself. I'd say at least 5, les than 10. Time running out on my rented computer, will get back to you on Sunday. Keep rocking!

Of course. Back in middle school my friends and I used to sneer at anyone who called the song Teenage Wasteland; it was a litmus test to determine whether someone was cool enough to hang with us. We were obviously quite mature for our age.
