Make a list, any length of greatest songs by The Who (Who are listed as Proto-Prog on here)
My top 3 would be 1) Love Reign O'er Me 2) Won't Get Fooled Again 3) Baba O-Reily |

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

That's their best song as far as I'm concerned. It's majestic and incredible.

Hi, What a shame ... Roger Ruskin Spears version of this song is much better, and even has Keith "kicking the drums", given that the story goes that Keith learned to do that from Legs Larry Smith, the BDB drummer! There are way too many things I like about this band ... and I have a hard time choosing one, but the stuff from WHO ARE YOU, usually stands out the most for me, although (obviously) there is stuff from before that stands out gloriously!

Can never really take the parts from the whole of any post-Tommy/pre-Kenny Jones Who albums, but some of those pre-Tommy album tracks are a gas, especially:
Much Too Much See My Way Armenia City in the Sky Our Love Was Rael I Can't Reach You Still, nothing beats the Quick One from the Stones' Rock n Roll Circus - primo early Who.

The Who isn't one of those bands that I delved into too deeply so my list is mostly the songs the rock stations here in CT played in the 80s.
Baba O'Reilly Bargain The Song Is Over Won't Get Fooled Again The Real Me Love Reign O'er Me Long Live Rock Pinball Wizard Sister Disco You Better You Bet Another Tricky Day There are many more that I like but these are my favorites. My 1 and 2 are probably Love Reign o'er Me and The Song is Over.

This thread reminds me that I never replaced my vinyl copy of Quadrophenia that I sold back in the 1990s. I have rectified that. Thanks! The hors d'oeuvres were great!
