No, it wouldn't.

Has anyone on here bought the new Who's Next/Lifehouse box?

Yep. All of those. "Cousin Kevin", "Heaven And Hell" and "When I Was A Boy" are among my favourites from The Ox. Their musicianship level was off the charts. Plus they sounded totally unique. No other band had sounded anything like the them.

Entwistle's songs are brilliant. His lyrics seem to be either macabre or just nasty. Always great musically though.

I love it. "Our Love Was" and "I Can't Reach You" are up there at the very top of Pete sung Who songs I reckon. Throw in "Sunrise" and that's three of his best all on the same album. The ads they wrote for the album are brilliant too.

Nice one. You'll be hard pressed to find two other people in the SC who know the album let alone the song.

Nice choice. Close to the least known of all the opening tracks on Who albums. Brilliant beginning to Sell Out. What was the theme?

Agreed. And speaking of Celine Dion (I'm so sorry for doing so), whoever was responsible for adding her to the clip of Elvis Presley's performance of "If I Can Dream" from the '68 Comeback Special, should be bull whipped, put into stocks in the middle of downtown Memphis, and pelted with rancid...

And they're not the only ones. Unfortunately, the bad easily outnumber the good.

Yep. Saw them at Festival Hall in 1996 I think (maybe '97). They were sensational. They really were. And the fans of those acts seem to wear their inability to play as some sort of badge of honour. It's like inverted snobbery. Very strange.

Interesting. Just out of curiosity, was it lack of musicianship, or just dull?

Preaching to the choir, brother. Insipid, inauthentic, soulless. I'm fortunate that I never had the misfortune to be dragged along to see them live. Luckily, nobody I know likes them either.

Awesome track. Almost like Hendrix's mission statement from his second album.

Did BB play his own set?

Yeah, that's probably right. He does come across as an insufferable knob. Their early stuff I don't mind up to and including Rattle and Hum. After that I tuned out.

And way overrated.

Having Entwistle's bass upfront in the mix is always a good thing. It's interesting how many Who songs are driven by his bass.

Leeds was not filmed. I think there's a few minutes of Bootleg video - with no sound - floating around, but aside from that, nothing. The album has been expanded and remastered a few times now. There is a 2CD version of the entire show with the Tommy section on disc 2 and the rest of the show...

The hallmark of The Who from 1963 to...probably 1970. The energy and ferocity never disappeared, but they couldn't maintain that unrelenting force of nature group effort for ever: The debut album has it; the early singles; Woodstock; Live At Leeds. You are spot on about there never been...

Awesome track. It's failure to go any higher than #10 in the UK charts prompted Townshend to comment: "To me it was the ultimate Who record, yet it didn't sell. I spat on the British record buyer" Classic Pete.

Incredible to think that was never included on an album. I think it was recorded after the Sell Out album and didn't fit with the narrative on Tommy. It's an awesome track. Entwistle's pounding bass in the final verse is prophetising metal.

That Tanglewood show is magnificent. Widely available on bootleg for years but so far no official release. Anyone thinking of purchasing the Who's Next/Lifehouse box set that includes the full San Francisco 1971 concert?

Given who the majority of the contestants are in the SC, I'm surprised if more than 2 or 3 have even heard of The Who, much less have the taste to appreciate their music. I've always regarded the song as integral to it's part on the Tommy album overall, but taken in isolation I can see how it...

Great song. Let me guess...4 votes and finished last?

I don't.

I believe you but I've probably heard the thing too many times. And I just don't like their music. Is rather listen to the Gipsy Kings version from The Big Lebowski.

Fair point. Still a great band though. I can't really argue with that. Don't mind a few of their songs, but generally...nah. The Eagles have absolutely no redeeming qualities as far as I'm concerned.

I agree with you on your opinion of the Eagles. Less so on Queen. I'm a huge fan of both The Who and Led Zeppelin.
