As for the song(s) which Keith Moon is off time, I honestly forget. It is one of their more popular songs like You Better, You Bet or Who Are You. One of my roomies in college was a drummer who pointed it out to me. I think he at one point programmed a drum machine to keep time in order to gauge the changes in Moon's drumming throughout the song. I was always kind of amused by it.

If that is the song then your argument holds no water because Moon was dead by the release of Face Dances. I believe it is Kenny Jones providing the drums. Besides rock-n-roll isn't about precision, it is about energy which Moon supplied in spades. Either way, Moon and Bonzo are the two greatest rock drummers of all time.

Favorite Who tunes: The Seeker, I'm a Boy, Goin' Mobile, Join Together, Pictures of Lily, My Wife, Teenage Wasteland, A Legal Matter (great Townshend vocals), Relay, I'm Free, and all of Quadrophenia, especially The Real Me, 5:15, I'm One, The Dirty Jobs and Love, Reign O'er Me.

Special mention goes to Pete's 1st solo outing-Who Came First.

Favorite Zep (the lords of excess) tunes: Misty Mountain Hop, The Song Remains the Same, The Ocean, Fool in the Rain, Tangerine, Celebration Day, Going to California, Nobody's Fault but Mine, The Rover, Houses of the Holy, Bron-Yr-Aur, Down by the Seaside, Ten Years Gone, Night Flight, and Black Country Woman.

Both lists could be considerably longer I realize, but the brain has expelled its last breath.

Good to see another rockin' soul likes RELAY, one of the Who's most underrated. Check out the BBC version--mighty!

Yep, that's the real title, but I recall more than one occasion when a customer asked record store me for the Who album with "Teenage Wasteland." Awright, Biggles...what 3 Who songs have numbers for titles?

I was going to correct him on that one, too, but usually when I do people give me disdainful looks.

Its one of my music pet peeves.

The other is when people pronounce the Zeppelin song as Die-Err May-ker. Man, I wish they would've thought the lettering of that song through a little better!

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

My pet peeve is when people confuse Jethro Tull with Ian Anderson, as you might expect.

5:15, 905, 1921? How about I'm One, does that count?

Won't get fooled again? I must have missed that one. Where can I find a copy?
My favorite "political" song is Sunshine by Jonathan Edwards.

It's on the album "Who's Next". I loved it 30 years ago, even before I became an anarchist (or maybe before I realized I was one). If there's an anarchists' theme song, that's it!

Thanks Biggles. But where can I actually get a copy? Online?
